* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' gives us an Abyssal whose Exaltation ''always'' goes to a 10-year-old girl who is then always renamed Shoat of the Mire. She is the only Abyssal servant of the Deathlord known as The Dowager of the Irreverent Vulgate in Unrent Veils, who has a [[DoomedHometown very specific]] [[OrphanageOfFear process]] of creating her deathknights. It's stated that she plans to start turning more children into Abyssal servants as soon as she's certain she's perfected the process of raising them. The Shoat isn't actually undead, but Abyssal Exalted is close enough to count.

* ''Literature/ATaleOf'': Gothel's mother Manea is the Queen of the Dead. She has a hoard of undead at her command. Manea keeps local villages in line by threatening to slaughter them and turn them into her undead right now, in exchange for all their dead being buried in her graveyard so that they can become part of her hoard. The last straw for her two other daughters, Hazel and Primrose, is when Manea kills an entire village, including the children. All the undead children look confused and terrified, with their eyes covered in a black goop so that they can't see. After [[spoiler: killing Manea]] and taking over, Gothel promises her sisters not to use the younger undead in her hoard.

* In the 90's stories about "black eyed kids" started popping up on the internet. People reported children with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin completely black eyes]] would knock on their door or approach them in their cars and insistently ask to be let in. The people reporting these experiences were all far too creeped out to open the door, so it's unclear what would happen to anyone who did let them in. Or maybe anyone who did wasn't around to talk about it...
