The Walking corpse is a monster in the series.
Description[edit | edit source]
Walking corpses are reanimated corpses with 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, they are able to poison characters with their attacks. Typically, the walking corpse will high much higher HP than other monsters, but have paltry defence. The walking corpse in Dragon Quest VI and its remakes has a slightly different visual design and pose than their appearances in other games, which is actually a rather uncommon occurrence for a recurring monster.
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.

Although they cannot be encountered, a walking corpse NPC makes a cameo appearance in the remake's Fungeon. 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.
