The ''' | 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
