Description The undead... aren't they dead? well yes, they pretty much are. They should be the indeeddead... but undead sounds way cooler.

248) High level chemical zombie: I thoght of a zombie based RTT once, there were 4 main zombie factions; The typical zombie virus, you knwo just a swarm of dead guys walking around eating people. Some mutant zombies created by the effect of some chemical, the technological zombies, and the parasite based zombies (I'll be talking about those last two in a moment). Chemical zombies can crawl on walls, develop mutations such as giant claws, improved musculature and additional eyes, hears or whatever.

249) Mature technological zombies: there was a program to develop a weapon able to reproduce itself, so they made this little "computer virus" a littel robot able to find its place in the human brain and command the body into producing certain substances and structures within it. But in order to produce a fully developed android certain materials are to be stored in the host body, so it has been programed to find iron in... ok, it feeds on people to store iron to make a robot inside the body and then use that robot as a walking factory for another little robot and keep on infecting people. The technological zombies are the smartest ones, able to even use firearms and are also among the hardest ones to kill. However, their numbers are few, since each zombie has to eat lots of people before gathering enogh iron becoming mature and being able to reproduce, whereas other kinds might accomplish and infection with each kill.

250) Composed parasite based zombie: The parasite of these zombies might be of extraterrestrial origin. ... Well you know, random black appendages whipping around and making weird masses of bodies.

251) Supernatural zombie: I also thought about zombies of supernatural origins... but that would give a fantasy twist to my science fiction zombie story, and I didn't liked the idea, but who knows. This one is just a couple of limbs and a head kept together by some kind of ...fire... -_-

252) Officer: Officer Recipe;
Ingredients; A horse, a human, three mastiffs, necromatic materials of choise.
Directions; Grab a dead horse and cut its head off, the preced to remplace the head with the human corpse, you might need to cut the legs first. Then cut the human's head and put three mastiff heads on its place. Now imbue it with unholy lifen give it some weapons, dress it in some armour, put an army at his disposal, and send it to spread death for 2 to 3 countries.

253) Vampire: I'm not a big fan of vampires to be hones't, I've never been. But if you are making a list of special undead, you can't avoid to add at least one of them.

254) Akimbo: Look what an interesting creature you can get just by sewing on two arms to a body and giving it dual weapons.

255) Lich: You all know liches, they are this powerful necromancers continuing their quest for power even after death.

Thought you might like this: The ideas that wouldn't let me go.Recently, I've been having some ideas that kept piling into my mind, ideas that could honestly be well used by D&D players and more. So, as an aside, D&D players, feel free to use what I'm about to put.
Basically, some undead concepts that came to mind wouldn't stop bothering me, so I decided to type them into a document. Finally finished them to get them off my mind, in between my typical routines, which took a dang long while. And now, will post them here. Hope you all enjoy:
Skeletal:
        Skeletal undead are made of nothing but bone. Though, the types of skeletal undead can vary beyond this fact in a number of ways. Their sub-types are:
        Tooled: Normal skeletons equipped with additional tools for both protection and attack. These skeletons have a knack for adaptation, sometimes even replacing limbs with tools. Having to make do due to the lack of powers compared to others beyond just reassem

Well, for these ideas, kind of count ghosts among the undead to a degree.


For these, imagine separating the undead into these categories:


Skeletal

Flesh

Spirit

Slime

Ectoplasm

Possessed

Amalgamation(basically, any combination of the previous ones).


But with each of those in turn having sub-types.


Take Skeletal for example. First sub-type, tooled: undead wielding weapons and tools, to the point of possibly even replacing limbs with acquired tools.


Then, there's enchanted ones, which could have auras, runes, different colored bones, etc. signifying whatever magic is boosting them and granting them additional abilities.


After that, there's mutated, basically skeletons with altered bone structures that have grown or reshaped for whatever purposes.


Then, there's constructed, where bones have repositioned and/or combined with other bones to make an entirely different monster. Sometimes even creating undead sapient vehicles or structures made of bones.


After that is the swarm type, where one bone is the core while having multiple bones swarm around it like a living swarm of insects following the will of the core.


And of course, there's the options to combine those sub-types together. And those are just sub-types for the skeletal undead.

Heh. Thought you would. Just the skeletal alone provides lots of options. Imagine with similar ideas for the others. Oh, and the ectoplasm one, imagine living energy basically that's like a spirit fused with energy. Whereas ghosts... well, they're not as strong in a single element typically, but in turn have more options for what elements they can use. Slimes are like a solid mucus or bacteria or the like channelling spirit(s) in them. And possessed... well, they can range from a living house, living paintings, living armor, and more. And each of those spiritual ones could have the option of having collected objects to use, like perhaps as armor or perhaps like an exo-suit around them to also channel their powers through.


Lots of options, eh?


This give ya ideas?^_^

Oh, and is it all right if I use this as a reference if I want to draw something absolutely ghastly? I'll credit you of course.

Rodrigo-Vega In reply to Meddyexe [2010-07-30 13:01:16 +0000 UTC]

Hmno, not as easily. The iron found in an organism is already disolved and the organs of the host are already designed to metabolize it. If they ate scrap metal they would undergo some severe organ damage and would need some sort of melting furnace instaled inside them.

If they did that, or go after Funeral homes (Lots of blood left over from the embalming process) they could be a real threat.

Hmmm...they look a bit...wel...demonic dont they? And they are called undead since they are neither fully dead nor alive...im guessing you should know that by now but just in case . Anyway as i said they look more like demons than undead...more like something Mephisto from the Diablo series would create seeing as among the three prime evils he is the lord of the undead. Anyway nice work .

Very imaginative, love the drawings and the explanations, especially the explanations. I for one never truly bothered with zombies, kinda lame, so so basic, so... nothing interesting about them; But This, THIS is it, it gives a whole new light on the concept of zombies, truly innovative, it would be so much better if these ideas would be included in the basic notion of zombies because then zombies would be something more than just a walking, flesh eating corpse
