Raise Dead is a Death knight talent that allows the death knight to raise a Risen Ally as a temporary combat pet. It is automatically learned by Unholy death knights. Unholy death knights can also upgrade the ghoul to a permanent pet with a shorter cooldown with the [Raise Dead] talent.
Background
Raise Dead and other similar abilities have been a staple of the Warcraft series, commonly used by practitioners of necromancy, including Necrolyte units in Warcraft I, Death Knight units in Warcraft II, and Necromancer units in Warcraft III.
