I said it in the future of the fortress tread, but I want the ability to "reclaim" dead characters by raising them as the undead. Just keep doing that till there's nothing left of the body.
YEs.

"Mister king?"
"Yes child?"
"How did you come to power?"
"Well it all started when I ripped the head off that necromancer..."
"And then I tore his spirit back through the veil and bound it in his mangled head.
I still ask him for advice every now and then, though getting his jaw to stay on  has been a bit of a hassle the past few years."

Hopefully toady removes boogeymen and just turns the night creatures into random encounters at night, instead of a constant useless spam.

Be much more interesting to have a whole load of random night creatures coming after me than the same thing time after time. :D

They are (kinda') random nightly encounters...their tendency to catch you in inappropriate moments is built in-game, which is commonly known as "DF being a dick".

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.
This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

Not to mention their ability to dodge "Very Easy, Direct Hit" headshots and then counterstrike with a flykick to the brain. I hate Bogeymen so much. At least the other night creatures can be kited and hit, bogeymen always manage to bite me in the face when I try it.

I believe immortal and invincible are two different things.

So, when you hack the necromancer to pieces, which piece stays alive?

...So I should definitely NOT cut off his arms as I'm going to spawn two more necromancers.
