Valid Animate Dead Target??


Rules Questions


So the question is a Pathfinder Mimc a valid target if so what would it look like and if possible what dose it stat block look like?

killed a mimc that looked like a sarcophagus and was thinking it would be cool to make it my undead bit not sure if I can?


Yes it's a valid target, as nothing prevents it from becoming a zombie as long as it is mostly intact. Whether or not it can become a skeleton would be dependent on whether or not your GM thinks mimics have bones.


I thought things with a exoskeleton can become a skeleton as well
dose it keep its adhesive ability?

If a player asked that question, I'd say no.. If I was asking myself that question as a GM, I'd say... "Hmmm........."

Not through animate dead, the spell says "The corpse must have bones."

Though they can become skeletons as long as the animation isn't from the spell animate dead, since the template itself only requires it to possess a skeletal system (which an exoskeleton is). Though, there is no sign a mimic possesses an exoskeleton.

I think Skeletons and Zombies would retain adhesive because of the line "It retains any extraordinary special qualities that improve its melee or ranged attacks.".


Thank you all : )
