*Tramping out of the night is a dreadful giant corpse. For all that its eyes are lifeless and devoid of mind, the creature’s gaze still promises swift death to any that it can catch and crush in its mighty grip.*

Any undead army would be happy to recruit a hulking corpse. Its raw power combined with its mindless devotion to whatever master is powerful enough to command it ensures a swift victory over lesser foes. Of course, few can command a hulking corpse. Thus, these creatures are often found wandering the night, seeking only to crush, destroy, and rend.
