The '''Corpse corporal''' is a monster in the series.


The '''Corpse Corporal''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', it is a stronger version of the [[walking corpse]].
==Characteristics==  
==Characteristics==  
The creepy '''corpse corporal''' shuffles soulessly until it encounters  an enemy, and even then they seem almost catatonic. But when they do spring to life they love to lick the party in a way that leaves them helplessly paralyzed so they can shuffle haplessly and strike. They also emit an eerie aura that leaves enemies open to extra damage from slung spells.
Corpse corporals are [[undead family|undead]] monsters with a deathly pallor, red eyes, and unkempt straw-coloured hair while wearing a raggedy red tunic with a black belt and brown or dark green trousers. In the Super Famicom versions of ''V'' and ''VI'', the corpse corporals had a completely different colour scheme, with bluish-grey skin, white hair, and wearing maroon clothing. In its original appearance in ''II'' and the ''Builders'' games, the corpse corporal has sickly, jaundiced yellow skin, light brown hair, and a green tunic worn with blue trousers instead.
 
They are often able to debilitate the party in many ways, from enveloping them in illusions, poisoning them, inflicting paralysis, or placing curses on unfortunate adventurers. In some games, they are able to emit a [[Spooky Aura]] that leaves their victims more vulnerable to magic.


It is unknown why the corporal sprites alternate between being faithful to the artwork's colors and wearing grimey green, and what caused this inconsistency in the first place. In most games, the corpse corporal has a deathly pallor, red eyes, and brittle hair the color of straw while wearing a raggedy red tunic with a black belt and brown or dark green trousers. In ''Dragon Quest II'' and the ''Builders'' games, the corpse corporal has sickly jaundiced yellow skin, light brown hair, and a green tunic worn with blue trousers instead.

The Corpse corporal is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Corpse corporals are undead monsters with a deathly pallor, red eyes, and unkempt straw-coloured hair while wearing a raggedy red tunic with a black belt and brown or dark green trousers. In the Super Famicom versions of V and VI, the corpse corporals had a completely different colour scheme, with bluish-grey skin, white hair, and wearing maroon clothing. In its original appearance in II and the Builders games, the corpse corporal has sickly, jaundiced yellow skin, light brown hair, and a green tunic worn with blue trousers instead.

They are often able to debilitate the party in many ways, from enveloping them in illusions, poisoning them, inflicting paralysis, or placing curses on unfortunate adventurers. In some games, they are able to emit a Spooky Aura that leaves their victims more vulnerable to magic.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The corpse corporal's Japanese name リビングデッド (Ribingu deddo, Living dead?) is likely derived from George A. Romero's 1968 horror film Night of the Living Dead, which is credited with popularising the portrayal of zombies in modern culture and went on to create a successful franchise of films.
