This unit seems wildly out of place in the undead roster, and is laughably weak for a temple unit.

Yeah, they aren't even UNdead. Shouldn't undead get... Draugr or something? I don't know if vikings have zombie myths.
TBH I don't even understand why undead can build a Krolm temple in the first place. AFAIK Krolm hates magic, that's even one of his spells "Hatred of Magic." Undead are pretty much pure magic, you'd think they'd have a worship option like Fervus instead. Seems like they had to balance it out and give them a different 4 gods than monsters even though they didn't have any unit ready, so they just added some random dwarf.
Krolm hates undead, so when they build a temple to him he gives them the finger with an awful temple unit.
There are eight gods. Monsters and Undead each worship four different ones. Humans get seven; all except Grum-gog.

I am pretty sure there is overlap, as the tooltip reads: "can be erected in undead and monster cities".
Which temple says that?
Monsters can build temples to Helia, Agrela, Grum-Gog and Fervus. Undead can build temples to Krolm, Krypta, Lunord and Dauros.

krypta for example. and the one that gives you paladins of death.
Krypta is for Human and Undead cities and so is Dauros. There is no temple that can be built in both Monster and Undead cities.
And to be more on topic, Krolm's Housecarls do indeed feel out of place in addition to being utterly awful for their price.
I'm pretty sure my monster city had four temple options: Helia, Agrela, Fervus and Grum-Gog. Krypta wasn't on there.
I think they probably meant to have another great mage for Undead who is themed around Krolm. But it didn't make it in the game. For example like how they explain Monsters having access to Helia through that one Egyptian looking Mage that serves Helia. We are also missing a Mage that naturally serves Fervus.
Hopefully we'll see something in an early patch. There is some room there for a Krolm type undead unit, like a giant bone golem/elemental or something, that would be interesting.
