So any animal is fair game? In which case, dodo. You MFs ate us into oblivion, I’m gonna come back with species worth of pent up rage and an undead thirst for blood.
Edit: in retrospect I now realise a dodo would be super easy to send back to the underworld :-(. I’m gonna be… checks deadliest thing notes, a car.
A vampire. Since it’s a necromancer raising me, instead of another vampire, I won’t be enthralled and will have free will.
Then there’s all the wonderful abilities and the fact that I’ll still look good for an undead (it’s a pretty movie vampire, not one of those creepy ones)Glitter skin and all
You sonuvabeech
First - pretty movie vampires were pretty humans before they got vampired. Second - why in the fuck would a necromancer raise a vampire with free will? Face it ‘pretty’ boy, you’ll be stuck in a cave trying to kill adventurers who never visit. You’ll be talking to rats after the first month of solitude. You’ll lose your undeath virginity to a lost mountain goat. The first time a girl will be around your cave, she’ll notice how it smells like a homeless man who hasn’t changed his underwear in years and avoid the cave entirely. You’ll feel like spiking yourself in the heart because you had gotten used to the smell, but you won’t even be able to do that - you’re a necromancer’s minion. You have no choice in how you live or die. You’re just a smelly guardian of an uninteresting cave.
I’ll take undead drake. I’m doing some epic shit before I die, not just guarding some cave.
Those are a lot of assumptions you’re making:
- No one said the necromancer wanted a minion
- No one mentioned anything about a smelly cave
- I never said I’m a boy
- Maybe I would love the solitude
Anyway, no one said that the necromancer needed a guardian for some smelly cave. I like to think the necromancer got lonely and just wanted a friend to chat with. Even if what you say is true, cave guarding is for low-level chumps like skeletons or ghosts. Vampires are middle-management at least :)
Also, how on earth can you tell me I have to look exactly like I did when I was alive - which is still pretty :P - while you apparently can transform from human corpse to a drake?
Following your rules, the necromancer would be trying to assemble a drake using human bones, creating some weird facsimile of a dragon. The “drake” would spend its time jumping out from behind rocks shouting “blergh”, while falling apart at the slightest touch. Wishing some adventurer would put it out of its tortured existence instead of just pointing and laughing.while you apparently can transform from human corpse to a drake
Did you just assume my species?
Fair enough :)
Alhoon
Lich would be fun
Whatever type Jesus was. Folks seem to like that kind of undead.
Undead Deity is in fact a great answer to the question.
I’d come back as a wraith, preferably shadow of mordor / war style with domination powers.
Otherwise, a lich assuming I could have lich magic and evolve
A capybara in a remote location that won’t see human development within my new lifetime. Just chillin’ with my interspecies homies.
Wasn’t talking animals. I meant what type of undead would you come back as. xD
@[email protected]: E.g. zombie capybara, vampiric capybara, spectral capybara, skeletal capybara, etc.

If I’m an undead undead, do I get to live?
Depends on how your summoned I guess.
I’d go as more-or-less human ala the movie Warm Bodies. Just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I can’t have a nice romantic fling!
If there are no restrictions other than “undead”, I suppose that one can probably min-max this to be some sort of undead god.
I have little familiarity with Dungeons & Dragons’ Greyhawk setting, so I don’t know if “being Vecna” in particular is a good idea, but it illustrates the point that that game clearly has undead gods.
Skeleton:
- When the hero comes into the tomb, I want it to be dead first, no faffing about with boss fight (which they always win) BS.
- I like the musical nature of their bones.
- I already am one, sort of…
Whatever kind of undead Raziel counts as. Double undead vampire = soul devouring wraith? Hey, manifesting on both spiritual and physical realms is neat.
Oh hell no. A fumbled 1, shambling back into sweet death-death within moments, possibly dragging him with me.
I would be the kind of ghost that could possess people so I could bang their wives using their bodies but somehow when I cum, the possessed penis shoots out my actual sperm so I can forever keep my sainted genome alive
Wraith, so that I can go through walls, carry a big-ass scythe, and upgrade from generating Fear to generating Terror, so I can exploit that juicy morale penalty even if the enemy unit is immune to Fear.
