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.
Reappearing after taking a backseat from the previous game starting in the base game, corpse corporals are more formidable than in past entries, paralysing enemies with their breath and cursing them.
Battle-worn warriors in life, now they're content to shamble about leaving poisonous puddles in their wake. Their HP is as high as their IQ is low, and they seem to lash out at approaching foes more out of instinct than intent.

Trivia
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.
