==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The ''' | The '''walking corpse''' is a reanimated corpse, part of the [[Undead family]]. They have wild, unkempt grey hair, rotting clothes, and have a trail of drool from their open mouths. Their right eyes are closed, while the left is bulging slightly. The Walking corpses also have their hands up in a stereotypical zombie pose. It is usually the first undead monster fought in the game. In some games, the Walking corpse has a [[Poison Attack]], {{Poison}}ing one {{Party 2}} member when it hits. | ||
Typically, the | Typically, the walking corpse will high much higher {{HP}} than the other {{MFamilies}}s in it's area but also paltry defence. This is a reference to how difficult it is to incapacitate a zombie in horror fiction, despite the body being as soft and vulnerable as rotting flesh can be. | ||
Walking corpses have a ghastly speech quirk wherein they wail, elongating certain vowel sounds as they maintain an inconsistent pitch and tone, represented by randomly mixed majuscule and minuscule letters in dialogue. They also have genders despite appearing as male, as each member of the Delmorgue family demonstrates in {{Dragon Quest XI}} with one of the female members even lampshading it by saying that she is obviously a girl despite it clearly being not obvious. | Walking corpses have a ghastly speech quirk wherein they wail, elongating certain vowel sounds as they maintain an inconsistent pitch and tone, represented by randomly mixed majuscule and minuscule letters in dialogue.

It attempted to make soup for others to eat, likely referring to the [[slime]], [[tigergram]], and a female [[Elf]] nearby that also lived with it. However, the walking corpse is saddened that no one wants to try its soup. | ||

The | The walking corpse in {{Dragon Quest VI}} and its remakes has a slightly different visual design and pose than their appearances in other {{Main Series}} games, despite sharing the same name, which is actually a rather uncommon occurrence for a recurring monster in the ''DQ'' series. | ||
It's speculated this was done to facilitate creating animations for him, as {{Dragon Quest VI}} was the first game in the series to give monsters animations. With the new pose appearing somewhat more aggressive it was probably easier to display the {{MFamilies}} attacking than it would have been with the more eccentrically posed classic design. | It's speculated this was done to facilitate creating animations for him, as {{Dragon Quest VI}} was the first game in the series to give monsters animations.
