Ysran just makes friend with a shambling corpse first off.

Ysran made friends with an Eldritch fish god. He has had an Eldritch abomination in its entirety present its true form to him, which would send normal people into raving madmen, and he communes with the Eldritch on a regular basis. Another thing that would drive people mad.

A zombie is probably one of the least threatening things he could think of.
