Thank you, I got another suggestion for the Undead....

I would like to present to you all the " Corpse Gatherer "



The Corpse Gatherer is a magically animated undead creature which resembles a golem. It appears as a giant made out of dirt, stones and rocks and upon  a closer inspection, one can  see gravestones,  rotting bodies,  heads, severed  hands and feet  protruding from its  bulk. In other words,  this monster  is  literally a walking  graveyard. It can swallow up any creature within its grasp then the victim takes crushing damage from the rocks and gravestones inside followed by disease infliction through its rotting corpses until the  victim dies and for every corpse it absorbs it increases its size and mass making it an unstoppable force of destruction and death. When a corpse gatherer is destroyed it falls apart into its component corpses then the Undead's animating magic converts those corpses into zombies.

Now you may ask... Why would you suggest such a monster in the Undead ranks?

My answer is simple. " To be able to dominate any opponent it encounters ".

Now imagine you and your friend were playing a Multiplayer battle online. You choose the Undead race and your friend have choosen The Swarm. From there you are already at a disadvantage because we all know that The Swarm has the ability to completely drain all of your resources. Even if you somehow manage to capture a lot of mines The Swarm will simply drain all of it in a matter of minutes.

" In other words, You and your army are totally SCREWED " Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Now this may be countered if a player's Hero class were to be a Merchant, a Tinker or an Alchemist and Yes I would definitely say it can be done to defeat The Swarm. However, what if your Hero's Class would be a Death Knight, a Lichelord or a Necromancer? Then what? You have no way to produce any resources and The Swarm will overwhelm your base.

That's why this monster comes in, for every opponent it kills it gathers its dead corpse and adds it to its body. Think of this as a big hulking Reaper. The Reaper's ability to gain EXP by draining the souls from the kills of a Succubus and for every soul 20 EXP is gathered from it.

If you're running on limited resources then this monster is the ideal solution. Try to build one and watch it go strong instantly as it sweeps through the battlefield.
