Raise Dead is a level 56 Death knight ability that allows the death knight to raise a Risen Ghoul to fight for you for a limited time. This creature can perform a number of attacks including Fear, apply disease, stun, cause a target bleed and pummel.

With the Master of Ghouls talent, the Ghoul becomes a permanent pet under the Death Knight's control.

If no dead humanoid bodies are around, [Corpse Dust] must be used.

Notes

Even if you aren't Unholy-specced, don't forget that Raise Dead is still a DPS cooldown!
