Note: I'm either late to the party on this one and everyone already knows this, or I'm a genius. I prefer the latter, but it's probably the former.
Now that the click bait and disclaimer's outta the way, let's talk about the Chosen Undead's (and by extension all other undead in Dark Souls) Resurrection.
Currently, to my knowledge, we treat it basically like Mid-Godly Regeneration that triggers on death, because fodder undead are mindless and still rez, all DS PCs can still rez without any souls and all DS PCs disintegrate on death. The issue here is I think all undead do actually rez from a soul and I'm 90% confidant it's the Dark Soul. For a while now I've been trying to rationalize why the DS PCs can permakill some undead (outside of game mechanics) and why Undead bosses have souls and I'm pretty sure the Dark Soul answers both of these questions. We know that Furtive Pygmy fragmented the Dark Soul and this basically gave birth to humanity which means that all humanity possess a fragment of a Lord Soul which the Darksign was designed to contain. We know that when you kill most bosses they give up a number of minor souls, which are added to your soul count, and a larger, more powerful soul which in Undead bosses can be explained as there particular fragment. We can possibly explain the DS PCs permakilling undead as the PC absorbing/taking their fragment of the Dark Soul and preventing their Darksign from rezzing them.
I'd also like to talk about Humanity (the item, not us). What exactly is it? It's separate from normal souls and different from the Dark Soul.
Also, all our Undead pages that aren't the PCs are missing resurrection, which they should have.
