Can I make a Mimir?
« on: December 16, 2012, 10:47:23 pm »
Can necromancers resurrect just a skull? Like if I killed some megabeast, carved it up and took the skull, could it be animated like any other head?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Theres this tag [NOT_LIVING] or [CANNOT_UNDEAD] on some of the megabeasts that prevents resurrecting though.

Just did an arena test, by killing a dragon and butchering it. The only part I could reanimate was the scale hide, no mention of skulls anywhere.

Someone might wanna try chopping off the dragons head and waiting for it to turn to bone to test that...

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

I get the feeling that because its a dragon bone it will retain the dragon tokens.

I do know, however, from personal experience.... hydras do turn undead.

Zombie hydra. Yuck.

The head will work. The skull, as far as I know, won't.

In mid air, the dwarf continued to take hits from both the minecart and his own falling axe.
