Eater of the Dead

[spirokeat]

Does this summon have some kind of critical mass in terms of corpses it can eat before it goes beserk or something ?

I have it in a fortress that Im holding and being attacked every turn so hes gaining corpses...

Any advice, welcome.

Yes, and every so often, when it eats enough, you'll get a warning that it has eaten too many corpses and has grown larger. It'll then change form to a slightly more corpsey form, until it becomes an Unfettered and goes berserk. If you're at a fort, it'll then park itself in front of said fort and start devouring anyone who tries to come in or out.

There have been some great ideas about stuff you can do with one of these guys...

I like casting gift of reason on one, equipping with a couple of powerful artifacts and maybe for the hell of it, make him your prophet.

A big sloppy butt kicking machine!

For the heck of it, I once empowered an Eater of the Dead until it could cast mistform, summon earthpower, and invulnerability, and then cloud trapezed it onto a hapless AI capital.
Sadly, it threw away the script once it became the Unfettered.

Usually after reaching a certain size they leave your command and go independent.
Will your suggestion stop him from going beserk and ditching your army?

A GoR'd Eater of the Dead will still become a neutral Unfettered when it grows too big.

You can enslave/hellbind/charm an Unfettered; at that point, should you GoR it again (if you enslaved it) perhaps it'll stay yours?
