Animate a Giant?

[Hypersmurf]

so if you create an undead, you just have to hope it attacks your enemie?

No, you Rebuke it, and then tell it to attack your enemies if you succeed.

And don't forget to Desecrate the area before you cast Create Undead! The Undead need those extra HP!

Desecrate:
This spell imbues an area with negative energy. Each Charisma check made to turn undead within this area takes a -3 profane penalty, and every undead creature entering a desecrated area gains a +1 profane bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. An undead creature created within or summoned into such an area gains +1 hit points per HD.

If the desecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to your deity or aligned higher power, the modifiers given above are doubled (-6 profane penalty on turning checks, +2 profane bonus and +2 hit points per HD for undead in the area).

Yeah, that can really mess up a group of heroes, stumbling onto an unexpected Shrine of Orcus
