If you READ my post, Simon, you'd find I said that the Vivamort guys
which is Delecti's major defense (so he can concentrate on his serious
research into the mysteries of life - my theory is that he wishes to
create life by stitching things together, and so far only has produced
undead) suck a lot of ducks dry (thus killing them). Having a fair share
of your relatives killed by vampires could make any duck (or man - look
at the Lismelder tribe) keen on Humakt.

Read my lips: Having your kin killed due to THEIR SOULS BEING EATEN BY
CHAOS HORRORS is as good cause for Humakti worship as any other.

Gimme a break! Zombiefy a duck? Zombies are fairly worthless critters to
begin with, and cost a lot of time and effort (not to mention POW) to
make. (IMC note: I always consider that undead take time and effort ot
make, and thus there are no puny silly skeletons and zombies IMC. I
threw the worthless RQ3 rules for these stuff in the waste basket from
the start!) Their main advantage is their strength - which becomes less
when you start with a duck. Their main disadvantage is their slowness -
which becomes even greater when you start with the short-legged duck.
(For lessons in How To Dispatch A Zombie, see the movie Witch Hunt.
That's the main reason to see the movie, despite it having Dennis Hopper
as tough private eye H. Phillips Lovecraft) Add the great pride and
self-consciousness of any Vampire. If you are a terrible undead horror,
a servant of the unholy void that is Vivamort, you need dignity. Duck
zombies or lesser servant vampires equals no dignity! No, what you need
is zombiefied tyrannosauri, beautiful slim women in dark dresses, hordes
of Army-of-Darkness-lookalike wight warriors... Oh well, perhaps you
could add a snivelling duck hunchback which you can beat up when he
suggests the Heroes might survive your Master Plan.
