We've always had a cool variety of animatable corpses, and while I imagine it is a low priority, I think it'd be cool to bring a few more styles of corpses into the fray.
Specifically I know one quest gives out a mummified baby item, and that got me thinking: What's more sinister than that? People are already able to summon up a spectral child. An animated child zombie would be a great, and horribly malicious style of animate dead that would skyrocket you to evil infamy.
It could just be a re-skinned sort of urchin child, or maybe just wither glowing with the flies.
Frankly it seems more malicious than the somewhat rarely used IC Goblin/Kobold corpses, and could be great for RP purposes.
Agreed
I'd also love to see some more variety, Bear corpses, wolf corpses and other animals and monstrous humanoids. Even Some H'balan themed ones would be cool if someone's willing to put in the work.
*cough, cough* Player corpses... *cough*
I think all undead should have somewhat realistic on hit disease aspects, such as:
undead groping hooker - onhit rampant syphilis
shambling zombie athlete - onhit oozing swamp foot
etc
only somewhat tongue in cheek.
I thought tongue in cheek was how you got undead groping hooker zombie rampant syphilis...
