The '''Walking corpse''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, introduced in {{DQ2}}.

==Description==
The '''Walking corpse''' is a reanimated corpse, part of the [[Undead family]]. They have wild, unkempt grey hair, rotting clothes, and have a trail of drool from their open mouths. Their right eyes are closed, while the left is bulging slightly. The Walking corpses also have their hands up in a stereotypical zombie pose. It is usually the first undead monster fought in the game. In some games, the Walking corpse has a [[Poison Attack]], {{Poison}}ing one {{Party 2}} member when it hits.

Typically, the Walking corpse will high much higher {{HP}} than the other {{MFamilies}}s in it's area but also paltry defence. This is a reference to how difficult it is to incapacitate a zombie in horror fiction, despite the body being as soft and vulnerable as rotting flesh can be.

Walking corpses have a ghastly speech quirk wherein they wail, elongating certain vowel sounds as they maintain an inconsistent pitch and tone, represented by randomly mixed majuscule and minuscule letters in dialogue. They also have genders despite appearing as male, as each member of the Delmorgue family demonstrates in {{Dragon Quest XI}} with one of the female members even lampshading it by saying that she is obviously a girl despite it clearly being not obvious.

Although not fought able in the game itself, a Walking corpse makes a cameo appearance in the {{Fungeon 4}} from the {{PlayStation}} version and its subsequent versions. It attempted to make soup for others to eat, likely referring to the [[Slime]], [[Tigergram]], and a female [[Elf]] nearby that also lived with it. However, the Walking corpse is saddened that no one wants to try its soup.

The Walking corpse in {{Dragon Quest VI}} and its remakes has a slightly different visual design and pose than their appearances in other {{Main Series}} games, despite sharing the same name, which is actually a rather uncommon occurrence for a recurring monster in the ''DQ'' series. 

It's speculated this was done to facilitate creating animations for him, as {{Dragon Quest VI}} was the first game in the series to give monsters animations. With the new pose appearing somewhat more aggressive it was probably easier to display the {{MFamilies}} attacking than it would have been with the more eccentrically posed classic design. 

However, starting with the {{Super Famicom}} remake of {{Dragon Quest III}} and all later games, he returned to his original pose from {{Dragon Quest II}}. Animations became much more detailed starting with the remake of {{III}}, so its likely the developers became more comfortable and proficient at the task of developing unique animations for each {{MFamilies}}, shedding the need to recklessly modify classic {{MFamilies}} designs, which could disappoint their loyal fans. However, the remakes of {{VI}} kept his unique pose, going so far as to give it brand new animations and official artwork, even though they could have simply reused his appearance and animations from the {{DS}} remake of {{V}}, probably out of faithfulness and respect to the original version of {{VI}} and its fans.

Walking corpses appeared from the beginning of the game. They are able to poison characters and reduce their [[Tension]] like the previous game and have also gained the ability to place curses with attacks, as well. The zombies also gained a rarefied version in the form of the [[Lumberin' Jack]]. Starting with Version 5.0 of the game, Vicious walking corpses can be encountered in the [[Nadiria|Netherworld]], as well.
