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.
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.
Reappearing after taking a backseat from the previous game starting in the base game, they are more formidable than in past entires, paralyzing 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.
