Should lesser undead flee?

This idea was brought up a while back and I found it to be a pretty neat idea:

"Should lesser undead flee?"

Right now, undead creatures will run off and escape like any other monster (To regenerate health points). However, this is contrary to undead as zombies are mindless beings that wouldn't be concerned about healing, rather they would be concerned about sustaining their lust for eating raw flesh. Many lesser undead are summoned or reanimated by a greater being, usually greater undead such as ancient lich.

Here's what the change would do:

Lesser undead which are classified as being brainless puppets or summons would not flee when low on health. The following would be affected by this change:

* Bone Knight
* Bone Magi
* Flesh Golem
* Ghoul
* Gore Fiend
* Hellsteed
* Mummy
* Revenant
* Rotting Corpse
* Shade
* Skeletal Knight
* Skeletal Mage
* Skeletal Steed
* Skeleton
* Spectre
* Wights
* Wraith
* Zombie

However THESE undead would not be affected as they would be classified as sentient undead who are quite aware of their being and are mindful:

* Ancient Lich
* Darknight Creeper
* Lady of the Snow
* Lich
* Lich Lord
* Neira the Necromancer
* Revenant Lion
* Shadow Knight
* Sir Patrick (And all named undead)
* Skeletal Dragon

I chose 'yes' for some stupid reason.

Well so far most are in favor of no so don't think you have a lot to worry about.

No. And by the way, I believe you forgot Skeletal Dragons.

That I did. Was actually not in the list I copied from a source as normally skeletal dragons aren't undead (Ya, it's messed).
