[PF] Animate Dead for funky things

[Laniius]

Can Animate Dead be used for those funky zombie and skeleton templates (like juju zombie, zombie lord, skeletal champion, etc.) or is it just for the bog-standard skeletons and zombies?

You need Create Undead (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/create-undead) to make the ones you listed, so no.

Animate Dead can, however, make bloody/burning skeletons (with half the HD limit.)

....hmm...so this isn't a question about animate dead being used in a campaign set in the 70s-80s...mildly disappointing. as psyren pointed out the examples you mentioned are a bit beyond animate dead.

edit: if you DO use it in a campaign set in the 70s-80s just remember one simple thing. disco isn't dead, it's undead.
