== Contemporary pop-culture == The archvillain in J.R.R. Tolkien's [[The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]] fantasy, Sauron, first reappears in the environs of Middle Earth as 'the Necromancer of [[Dol Guldur]]' in Tolkien's standalone prologue to the trilogy ''[[The Hobbit]]''. In fictional settings such as ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', or fantasy video games, necromancy is associated with the reanimation of corpses often meant to be used as weapons. This tradition appears to combine associations of conjuring the dead from European and Mediterranean traditions with elements involving Zombies that seem to derive from Caribbean folklore and practice. {{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}
