Works on adventurers too.Some sort of paralysis monster, to restrain victims for convenient vivisection. Ghouls work well, but I imagine you've got to keep them under strict discipline or they eat their work.How about a swarm of body bits: as the necromancer and his brain friend have been building the perfect body out of flesh, they've been throwing the extra bits away. Infused with necrotic energy, they rise up and attack anything that passes through them.Alternately, they might have some kind of garbage disposal: an otyugh, gelatinous cube, or pudding.If the body is finished and the necromancer is just trying to get the mounting ritual right, he might have kidnapped some people and made them into other brains in a jar...so he has test subjects. These brains would have gone insane and only seek death...but if you can calm one of them down, they might tell you what they know before begging you to kill them.</blockquote>
