If I was to have a Necromancer Adventurer animate (not resurrect) a Megabeast, would the Megabeast still be hostile to me?

I've had minotaurs and giants in my army before. They should be loyal.

Excellent. Thank you for answering.

I'm aware this post is marked as answered, but i just want to expand this a little bit:
If you kill a creature, no matter if it's a forgotten beast or a kea, they'll be hostile to you after being resurrected, but creatures that were killed by other person won't

Oh, damn. The glitch with the intelligent undead must extend to every other undead, too. That sucks.

Yeah, it's really bad, but realistic in a way, imagine being a dragon and getting slain by a dwarf only for the dwarf to resurrect you, you would try to kill him again, wouldn't you?

Traditionally in the subgenre I think of as the "D&D milieu", which DF basically inhabits, necromantic zombies are not actually the same creature resurrected, but some kind of energy puppet squatting the corpse.

Huh, just killed and used Animate Corpse on a Goblin and a Dingo (both hostile when killed). They weren't hostile afterwards, and are currently showing as companions/friendlies.

I just tested it, too. Seems to be a coin flip in adventure mode, but always hostility in arena.

Wow, glad you clarified how it works, so it's not dependant on your attitude towards the creature, but rather luck.
Intresting

Are you sure about that? I know arena's always hostile due to the fixed factions in there, but I've spent the last week or so animating every foe I kill via Animate Corpse. Every one of them has been friendly, rather than hostile, so I don't think it's a coin toss as to whether a reanimated foe's hostile.

Coin toss is the wrong term, because it makes it seem 50/50, but I've definitely had some normal undead I raise attack me. I'd be a little cautious when raising megabeasts for that reason.

[Quantum Drop]

Will be careful, then.
