==Characteristics==  
==Characteristics==  
The creepy '''Corpse corporal''' shuffles soulessly until it [[encounter]]s an enemy, and even then they seem almost catatonic. 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 enemies open to extra damage from slung spells.

It is unknown why the corporal sprites alternate between being faithful to the artwork's colours and wearing grimy 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 the Super Famicom versions of ''V'' and ''VII'', 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.

*The corpse corporal's Japanese name Living dead (リビングデッド, ''Ribingu deddo'') is likely derived from George A. Romero's 1968 horror film ''[[Wikipedia:Night of the Living Dead|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.
