Corpse
Corpse (JP: しかばわ), named Undeadly in early games, are the remains of a hero that has died. If the God of Destruction taps one with their pickaxe, the corpse will reanimate into a Skeleman. Its strength depends on how much mana it has, which is increased by letting it absorb Spirits. By default it becomes a Skeleman, but when it gathers 30 or more mana, it will become a red Skeleslave. If left alone, a corpse will grow into a Mandrake or Magic Mandrake, which require 33 nutrients or mana, respectively.
Skelebonds that are left alone will also become corpses once their HP runs out.
In-Game Descriptions
What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?
- Taxonomy: Dead guy
I think he's dead, Jim. No pulse, no vitals, no nothin'. Unless...give it a little poke and see what happens. It started out as a hero's corpse, and the more MP the hero had at the time of death, the stronger the new creation will be. Luckily, the tongue's gone, so no pithy heroic comments!
| HP: None. He's already dead. |
What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord!? 2
There's no response. It looks like it's just a corpse. But, should the God of Destruction choose to poke it, it will come to life.
| HP: N/A |
| Special: Inhales All Spirits Around It |
No Heroes Allowed!
Looks just like your average skeleton, but those pesky heroes continue to be annoying even from beyond the grave by sucking up any nearby Spirits. They can also be used to attract Mandrakes.
| Max. HP: None |
| Skills: Sucks up Nearby Spirits |

Trivia
- The Almanac entries appear to reference the recurring Dragon Quest series message "No reply. It's just a corpse." displayed when examining a corpse. In the English version, the beginning from the first Almanac entry is a reference to Leonard McCoy's quote "He's dead, Jim" from the Star Trek series.
