Posts from What is more terrifying?

Basically, it has already been said that you cannot kill a demon; it always returns to hell to regroup.

It will take him several years to regroup. During this time, all the demons can be exterminated, and the portal can be closed. Dealing with the undead is more complicated: each one needs to be dissected down to its simplest form, which will take a lot of time. You could, of course, look for a necromancer, but if you find one... he'll unleash an army of the undead, and while you're turning each one into mincemeat, he'll summon another hundred.

Guys, we're talking about demons and undead, not about drunk necromancers and dragons...
P.S. There are different kinds of dragons... those who haven't seen evil ones should play the first Heroes of Might and Magic, Baldur's Gate, Gothic, etc. (although there are a couple of good ones in BG and NWN, but there are fewer of them...). Basically, they are like great wizards craving immortality and power (Locke Grill already said it)... and the good ones... well, that's probably in some fairy tales and movies.

By the way, even the simplest undead probably don't move on their own. They are under the control of a necromancer who feeds them with dark energy. Kill the necromancer, and the control weakens, making it easy to kill (dismember, tear apart, annihilate) the zombie. It depends on what kind of undead it is.
Demons probably take too long to regroup; they lose their bodies, and only their souls go to hell. It's unknown how long it would take to get a new material form.

P.S. Are there really that many dragons in Heroes of Might and Magic? And in Gothic, they weren't evil; they just wanted to kill everyone in the name of Beliar. They were doing good for him... and they certainly didn't have any sympathy for dragons becoming liches. Although one of them didn't care.
Dragonlance is a fairy tale? 11111
P.S.2 And Smog just wanted to eat. So what if he devoured a couple of cities...

A Necromancer is primarily a mage, and only then deals with the undead, etc. )
As for demons, you said everything... and they don't return to hell everywhere... somewhere they die forever (a special ritual or something else)...

P.S. Yes, you admitted that they are evil... and it's not worth judging only by The Witcher and other *nonsense*...
P.P.S. Death to evil dragons! )
P.P.P.S. By the way, I have an avatar of a knight holding the head of some snake-dragon, or maybe a Nazgûl (Nazgûl :O) ;D)... maybe I'll put it up later and write "every chatterbox will face a similar fate!"

It depends on the context; a Necromancer can be either a human or a supreme undead creature. They can't truly die permanently; they always end up somewhere. P.S. I didn't acknowledge them. They are simply not kind to people who are not very kind themselves. "-" minus "-" equals "+". The Witcher is an immortal manuscript. And Triglav was also not very kind to the knights. P.P.S. *sniffles* P.P.P.S. Considering that there aren't that many dragons here...

In games, that's how it is, but in theory, a zombie doesn't die AT ALL - that is, the only way to stop it is to chop it up into pieces so it can't do anything.

Are you talking about in real life?:D
Probably, but it turns out that a zombie is the ultimate weapon? An ultimate soldier?
No, there still need to be some genre conventions. Let's say that infusing the entire body with magic is very expensive, so a necromancer mostly revives only a semi-decayed brain, which moves the body's muscles with residual nerves. This explains the awkwardness and some movement problems where there are no muscles or nerves left;)
Chop off the head - save the world.

And it's easy to revive a skeleton - it's like a kind of autonomous telekinesis. It can't move on its own. There's nothing to move with! So, it's enough to break it a little, and the magic will leave the bones.
I think so:)

It will take several years to regroup, and in that time, it will be possible to destroy all the demons and close the portal.

Not necessarily. Besides, specific material is needed for the undead, and there are countless demons in hell; it's easier with summoning.

Demons probably take too long to regroup; they lose their bodies, and only the spirit goes to hell. It is unknown how long it will take to get a new material form.

As an option - to inhabit a stupid mortal.
And Smaug wanted not only to eat but also to rob, kill, and defile women.

>They are simply not kind to people who are not kind at all.

Killing and robbing anyone is not good, whether it's a person or a cockroach. And they also kill good people.

...and even defenseless peasants...

What does the dragons' hatred of human knights have to do with it?! I was playing as an Elf Wizard!!! )))
And there are plenty of dragons on HeroesWorld)).. even undead don't boast about themselves as often as they do x) ..

P.S. Well, to be a necromancer you need to be a mage)) and whether undead or not.. that's secondary) and usually they become undead after rituals..... in general, all necromancy is artificial)
Well, where could a necromancer and undead come from? On their own? Lying in a grave and suddenly deciding to become living dead??.. In any case, first there was a mage who wanted to be super-duper awesome and live long, and so he decided to use magic... first he became one himself, then he resurrected corpses, then another mage (maybe his student or follower) did the same, and that's how they multiplied x)

Okay, then you came to the Black (white, red, green) Dragon as a Wizard, and not just any dragon, but specifically that one!:)
Not many, I counted 4.
Oh dear... how uncouth of you. Very bad!..

And why is that?:)
I think so.:)
It depends on how you look at necromancy; essentially, it's not magic, but the ability to control and raise the undead. Perhaps it's an innate ability.
Or maybe there was a god who raised the first undead lord and subsequently endowed chosen ones with this gift.
And why didn't the Wizard look for ways to achieve immortality without death? After all, it's unpleasant, and it also takes energy to maintain oneself in the form of a corpse. It's not for nothing that life doesn't leave it; it's held by will and energy.

as an option - to inhabit a foolish mortal.
and Smoke didn't just want to eat, but also to rob, kill, and defile girls.

Where does so much energy come from to inhabit a mortal? So, a whole bunch of it was spent on appearing on the main level.
And it's unlikely that it's so easy to inhabit the soul of a foolish mortal. Even powerful demons, summoned by inept Wizards who lost control, could only tear the summoner to pieces and roam free for a while.
He didn't really need to rob; he had enough. It's unlikely that the dragon was interested in human girls. He only killed out of paranoia, all the travelers passing by.

killing and robbing anyone - be it a person or a cockroach - is bad, and they also kill good people.

Good Dragons are also killed. C'est la vie.
What's so bad about that?

...and even defenseless peasants...

Oh, the horror!:rolleyes:

probably yes, but it turns out that zombies are the ultimate weapon? oO super soldiers?

You'll laugh, but before zombies became cheap trash (i.e., around the end of the 20th century), writers/shamans/superstitious grandmothers treated them that way. :)

did you know that somewhere out there, I don't remember where, archaeologists found a corpse of a person who was tied up with belts all over his body, and an aspen stake was driven into his heart. In the past, people killed vampires in this way. Maybe they really do exist?

Or maybe the guys got it wrong, you know, they thought that if you stake a vampire, he'll turn to dust, but no, he didn't – they made a mistake...

Arandor: well... you beat me to it (... never mind, to avoid writing a similar post, I'll add my thoughts to your post:
so what?)).. now you can also catch a person, tie him up, and drive a stake into his heart... and then bury him)) after 20 years, they'll dig him up and probably think... ) hehe
and the fact that he was buried in that state... well, that doesn't mean anything yet)) there used to be many "witches" and they were burned... and in this case, the poor guy was probably just unlucky)
P.S. Siverfale, everything is okay)
P.P.S. whoa, I've possessed Siver and I'm controlling him, whoa!!!
Siverfale: Yeah, they gave a kid moderator rights...

- Achieving immortality without dying is extremely difficult, according to the laws of the fantasy genre. Simple ghouls and ghasts somehow manage to live, simply consuming and not worrying much about "maintaining their strength." - No, no, no, demons are constantly possessing ordinary mortals. They can't do much without a body, in most cases. Otherwise, they wouldn't possess anyone. (: For example, to overthrow a government or visit a brothel. Although one doesn't preclude the other, does it? - Only out of paranoia did a dragon fly in from who-knows-where to destroy a dwarven Fortress. Only out of a sense of paranoia did it hoard all the gold, because who would dare take it from under the dragon's nose, huh? And the dwarves would have been attacked sooner or later, and their gold would have been taken by all sorts of evil people. The dragon just wanted to preserve it; he's a good guy. He just overdid it out of paranoia. ;) As for the girls, I wouldn't be so categorical. All these lizard creatures are fond of interspecies relations, and they specifically want virgins. Bastards! - Sivvi, old ladies always lament about a spilled salt shaker, saying "holy, holy." :) - Ascendant Evincar, a Necropolis player! AAA! Cyborgs!!! See, Vissi, they're everywhere! They'll tear everyone apart! Goodbye, poor fantasy! P.S. Fantasy... hmm... euthanasia... hm.

Sivvi, grandmothers always lamented when a salt shaker fell, saying "holy, holy."

Zombies came to European culture from Haiti, along with the famous "voodoo" rituals, and the sorcerers themselves positioned zombies as super-soldiers.

I wouldn't be so categorical about the girls; all these reptiles are prone to interspecies mating, and they specifically want virgins.

But that's good; then half-breeds are born, and as a rule, these people are quite outstanding... However, it is still unknown in which direction they will develop, so one must be careful.

Undead are definitely scarier! And demons are just a bunch of muscles. You can admire them, but undead are terrifying.
