Hello, I have questions about Puppetmaster Extract and Galvasphere.
Puppetmaster Extract :
At stage 4, the poison stops causing damage and confusion; instead, it reanimates the corpse as an elite plague zombie without the unholy trait; a larger body instead uses statistics for a zombie brute or zombie hulk, whichever matches its size. The corpse stands as a free action at the beginning of its turn and attacks nearby creatures. When the poison’s duration expires or the poison is cured, the body’s state of animation ends.
Galvasphere :
When you Activate the galvasphere by inserting it into an adjacent intact Medium or Small humanoid corpse, the corpse animates as a galvaheart zombie for 1 minute. The galvaheart zombie has the statistics of a zombie shambler except that it is a construct instead of an undead, isn't unholy, can't be harmed by positive energy, and is the same size as the corpse (Medium or Small). The zombie is your minion and performs the actions you choose when you Command it. If you don't Command it, it takes no action, twitching in place as the electricity that animates it slowly expends itself.
Is it possible to insert the galvasphere in a dead body affected by the puppetmaster extract to control the undead ?
Thanks for your future answer.
My gut feeling is no. Here's why.
You have a corpse. If the corpse was killed by Puppetmaster Extract, it becomes a Zombie. As a Zombie, it is animated, and hence, no longer a corpse, and you do not control it, so you can't even order it into the sphere.
If you were to grapple it and force it into the Galvasphere, and then activate the sphere, the sphere checks to see if there is a corpse. And there is not. There is an animated zombie. As the zombie is already animated, it cannot be animated again.
Now, when the poison wore off, and the zombie was no longer animated, then, yes, the Galvasphere could then animate the once more corpse, but it would not be a Puppetmaster Zombie, it would be a Galvasphere Zombie.
Basically, you can't animate something that is already animated.
