That's actually really good. Instead of all this angsty shit its a barely recognizable but decidedly smug zombie mocking the guy.

I did something similar to my players once. They were raiding a dwarvern mining ship (long story) and the creature that had killed them all had reanimated each of the bodies like one long centipede of dead bodies, each yelling the last thing they had said in death.

Also it had 6 actions per turn. Players really had to fight hard to put it down.

>>51145865
Reminds me of the new (actually immortal) FF villain going "Did you really just try to kill me?"

>>51145762
"I'm allergic to banana you fucking half-wit!"

>>51145762
"I'll shoot the wizard".

Did I do good, heroes? I didn't let you down. Right?

>>51145886
That was Prompto, Ardyn was using illusions

>>51145886
That wasnt him. That was Ardyn disguising Prompto. Thats why he says "Dude are you seriously trying to kill me?!" Watch the scene again.

Nothing's more boring than fighting enemies just because they're there. But stuff like this? This is good. This makes the fight interesting.

The only time we had this happen was with a Skaven warband. Sturmratten left behind was re-animated by a vampire we later faced.
"It's you! Even in death you betray me!"

Why do you think they all dress in overly elaborate black outfits? Like, you never see a vampire just hanging around in sweat pants and a hoodie. Always black lace and velvet and shit.

I like you, anon.

In my Age of Discovery setting, I'm running "ghouls" for full horror. They're still sapient (and retain memories unless they've suffered severe brain damage), but being dead they're completely apathetic.

They'll talk about past experiences ("Remember that time I carried you home after you fell out of the big tree by the well?") or generally try to unnerve you. Confessing to murders they didn't commit to bait people into attacking rashly? Check. Falsly begging for mercy so enemies lower their guard before attacking? Check. They've also been seen doing shit like helping lost children find their way back to a village, waving off a reward beyond a hay pile to sleep in, and then waking in the night to devour the entire village as they sleep.

>>51145762
>not being a Necromancer
>not investing spell slots to revive every character your murder hobo friends kill for no reason and make them mumble their last thoughts/words over and over to haunt them

It's hilarious.
