Basically it's what happens when a mad necromancer animates a small army of zombies, then somehow combines them all into one colossal-sized super-zombie that acts as one creature (potentially shedding zombies as it takes damage). I'm going to need to design this thing myself, but I have two potential starting points:
- apply the Zombie template to a titan or other colossal humanoid. Basically, it's a really big zombie with some special consrtuct-like properties.
- base it on an enormous flesh golem and add some undead properties.
I'm leaning towards option 2 at the moment. Any ideas?
What CR are you looking for? There's a flesh colossus in the Epic Level Handbook, but I doubt you're looking for something that's CR 29. Likewise, you might be able to adapt the corpse gatherer from Monster Manual II.

CR should be about 12 or so - maybe a little higher. It's going to attack a citadel manned by 5 10th level PCs and a bunch of low-level men-at-arms. It needs to have staying power more than anything else - something that looks really big, scary, and impressive, and will take a lot of resources to put down. Something that can do a lot of property damage.
To fit the shedding zombies idea I'd probably start off with this as a base

Then I'd edit it over to zombie and swap out the stats for that of a titan or other similar critter. Drop the reform ability down to one turn and set it a scaling amount of hp rather than hp zero and let it rip. That is just me though.
Climb inside and break the gem causing it function and regen. Could be cool.

That is an awesome idea. Have the creature as a walking dungeon powered by a mystic gem. Great adventure idea there Jak and Wolf.
