This animated corpse has been ripped from its rightful sleep to serve a dark
master. Its flesh is heavily charred and blackened, falling away in thick
black clumps in places as it moves. Its eyes have rolled back into its head,
a grim sign of the unnatural might which compels it to resist death itself.
Slow, steady movements ---belie--- I have never seen that word before, and the sentence is hosed too* the unholy strength that its muscles never
attained during life, though the lumbering gait and blank stare reveal that
not all is as it once was. All around, a horrid burning odor mixes with the
stench of decay.
A burnt zombie of a citizen of Blingdenstone is covered with bleeding wounds.

From www.dictionary.com :
be·lie
1) To picture falsely; misrepresent: “He spoke roughly in order to belie his air of gentility” (James Joyce).
2) To show to be false: Their laughter belied their outward grief.
3) To be counter to; contradict: At first glance, life at the boarding school seemed to belie all the bad things I had heard about it.

In other words, the zombie is moving slowly, which is in contrast to the raw power underneath. Makes sense to me.

In the future, please use the typo command to log typos, as mentioned in the FAQ above. Also, it wouldn't hurt to look up an unfamiliar word before reporting it.
