Necromancers can ride reanimated corpses if they count as mounts.
« on: February 07, 2020, 02:57:18 pm »
So I posted this on the subreddit, but decided it's worth it to let people here know as well.

Meet Sabosh Lashlightning the Dour Author of Coincidence.
He rides a reanimated dragon corpse that he killed when it was 356-years old.

Now you will know why you fear the night.


Sadly it seems that it cannot breathe fire anymore or at least I haven't seen it do it yet, but boy does it like to claw the shit out of anything you ride close to. I'll probably try to do the same to a roc in my world for a gigantic flying mount as well.

A few tips for when you go try to get yourself a megabeast mount: Go alone and try to get a single kill hit so that you aren't taking off limbs of your new steed and to avoid mangling it. I got extremely lucky and on my second stab with my steel spear I got its brain and it dropped dead completely intact, except for the brain of course. At a full gallop, the dragon corpse only goes around 1.7 speed, but it can of course always be at a full gallop since it's undead. When you're riding it into battle it will make you nigh-invincible as it will tear off limbs with its claws and toss your enemies flying through the air.

Giant sponges are exotic mounts. Alternatively, an undead giant sperm whale is a civilisations-ending all-terrain mount

And now I ask myself: How is it possible that there are people who don't like DF?
