My DM is allowing one of my characters a Voodoo Shaman (Oracle with Juju Mysteries) leadership so I could have an army of undead followers. Then came the part where I had to decide upon a cohort. The idea I had was beautifully morbid. It would be a beautiful frankenstein like woman stitched together from other body parts. The name for her was "Iwa". She would play my villains sort of created Monster/strange wife. Obviously we came to the conclusion that such a monstrosity would be a flesh golem. However I looked at the rules for Leadership, and having a monster as a cohort, and to be frank... I don't want to wait till level 13. So is there any alternatives to fleshgolems in this case? Basically I need something with the same principles but not quite such a high CR? Thanks!

Can't you just call it a golem, but use some sort of lower level undead for the mechanics?

Not sure the DM would allow that.
Carrion golem is what you want. I linked it above.

Ah, yeah this looks good and it seems legit... the disease on touch i'll probably roleplay a bit differently. but yeah this seems to be what I want, thank you!
Sounds like a zombie lord might fit. That Carrion Golem pegged above looks ideal, though!

Well, I'll see what the DM says about the zombie lord cause I remember I looked at that and the CR would defintly be lower... a CR 1 creature would put my cohort at like level 3 or 4. had just a few minor issues with it... I mostly need to make sure it will survive being level 3/4 while the rest of us are level 7. naturally we would be up against mobs made for a level 7 party. So I guess that's an option too... I like Carrion right now though.
Just out of curiosity, are you planning to give this construct an intelligence score somehow?

I'm not sure... altough an int score would be nice.
It's your cohort, it should have one whatever it's race.

Good point I guess i'll just ask if we could consider her a Zombie Lord or a Juju Zombie.
