: No, that's correct.  Turning a corpse left by an undead just reanimates the undead, instead of the corpse's stated monster.  But e.g. wishing for a giant corpse and then turning it would create a live giant.  [[User:Tomsod|Tomsod]] ([[User talk:Tomsod|talk]]) 23:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

"not" left by a giant mummy or zombie?

Shouldn't that be a wand of undead turning on a corpse that was left by a giant mummy or zombie? -Actual-nh (talk) 02:31, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

No, that's correct. Turning a corpse left by an undead just reanimates the undead, instead of the corpse's stated monster. But e.g. wishing for a giant corpse and then turning it would create a live giant. Tomsod (talk) 23:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
