Undead is a race, not a status
There has been some controversy on whether being Undead is considered an aspect of race or just a status for the purposes of Npcbox. Blizzard basically settled this by listing Sylvanas Windrunner's race as "unique undead" in an official bio released for the Icecrown Citadel patch.
 * "Undead" is part of race information, not status.
 * Various undead races: "&lt;specific undead type&gt;" (like Ghoul), "Undead (&lt;specific type&gt;), &lt;race&gt; (formerly)" or just "Undead".
 * Various statuses: "Alive", "Active" (when referring to gods, demigods and related beings), "Imprisoned", "Deceased", "Killable" or "Unknown".
