What feats for My Zombie from Hell?

[Wicht]

I am creating what I am affectionately calling my "zombie from hell." It is basically a gargantuan zombie, buffed up to 30 hd, with the fiendish template thrown on top of it. Its a nasty little thing for its CR with an SR of 25 and DR of 10/+3 and it packs a mean punch. However as the fiendish template gives it an intelligence of 3 ( a regular einstein for a zombie) and the undead mold states it should have 1 feat per every 4 extra HD, I have decided it should probably have about 8 feats total. (I also gave it 33 skill points to spend on listen and spot.) But I am wondering what feats a zombie like this should have. Weapon Focus and Power Attack (along with cleave and great cleave) come to mind, as do extra toughnesses. But I thought I would see if anyone else had any ideas. Or would you not give it extra feats?

The Zombie From Hell: CR 8; Gargantuan Hellish Zombie; HD 30d12+3; hp 231; Init –1; Spd 40 ft; AC 11; Melee +20 (3d6+11 slam); Face/reach 20 x 60/ 20 ft; SA Smite (+20 dmg 1/day vs good); SQ undead, partial actions only, dark vision 60 ft, resistances (cold 20, fire 20), DR 10/+3, SR 25; SV Fort +10, Ref +9, Will +17; Str 26, Dex 8, Con -, Int 3, Wis 10, Cha 1.
Feats and Skills: Spot +17, Listem +16; Toughness, Improved Critical (slam)

The zombie from hell is a huge beast, similar in appearance to a Siesmosaurus, though not quite as large. It’s body is nearly 120 feet long from head to tail, with the head atop a long neck, fifty to sixty feet off the ground. The actual body is twenty feet wide and forty feet long and the tail is about twenty-five to thirty feet in length. The head is covered with horns and bony ridges and it once had sharp fangs and a forked tongue. There are bony plates along the top of its back. The creature however is nothing more than a horrifying looking zombie from hell and in places its skin has peeled away from the muscles beneath and on one side three of its ribs are visible from what must have been its death wound. Slightly more intelligent than the average zombie, the undead beast is constantly alert for intruders and takes an evil delight in trying to step on them or hit them with its tail.

You obviously need a copy of Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead , hot off the presses as I write this. It's got all the fun zombie ideas you can imagine.

Or Monster's Handbook by Fantasy Flight Games. It has a whole chapter on undead, and relentless zombies can be a real pain.

I like, conceptually, the idea of this thing having Improved Disarm, Trip, Bull Rush.

Ask for advice and get commercials

J'quan - I like the improved trip idea but am not sure how bull rush would work with partial actions only. Improved disarm seems a little too subtle for a zombie who just wants too stamp his opponents into the mud.

But the improved trip is nice (especially with a 20 foot reach). A tail sweep knocks you off your feet and then the tail raises up to smash straight down at your face.
