Banshees are a rather underused monster, I think. They're cool and creepy. They must have really sore throats, though.

Oh yes, I forgot Banshee. And it is popular choice for undead too.

I prefer Liches when they are look undead (but they don't need to look like skeletons, they could have still parts of flesh or mane).

Oh, I know that they don't all look like skeletons. Most still look like corpses though.

Oh, and Death, thanks for the tip. Downloaded Grief Syndrome. Won't often get to play it though.

Happy Birthday Pinkie!

@Octavia's accent: I like the idea of her having a british accent after I saw the "Epic Wub Time" video. Especially since british accents are awesome.

I wonder if she fakes the accent to sound sophisticated like Rarity does.

Well, he would look like a corpse when he's first raised. He's just using an illusion.

A few other options:

Draugr, basically intelligent viking zombies with superpowers.
A brain in a jar (which according to my copy of Libris Mortis, is a type of undead).
Necropolitan
A Worm That Walks (technically an Aberration, but it's essentially a pile of worms that's possessed by a ghost)

Well, I'm not the best of bakers, but I do have two I'm pretty good at making.

The first is a triple layer fudge and caramel cake. Which is made with a homemade mix baked separately with a small hole in the center of each which is later filled with a chocolate cream. I mix caramel and chocolate into a frosting I use to stickthe layers together.

The second are my special cupcakes. The main part is made with cheesecake I make from scratch stuffed with chocolate chips with baked oreo crumbs and extra creamcheese put on top.

Using illusion is fine, but still IMO without would be cooler. But I guess he need to appear normal to others.

And for Grief Syndrome, it appear to real action is in multi, but you can play solo at early difficulties without problems , play as non Sayaka to have interesting game play fun, and play as Sayaka if you want to beat that game :D.

I saw those in the article Ace linked. Certainly an interesting type of undead that needs to be added to D&D and an intriguing option.

Ah, yes. I don't think that would fit though.

Created from the still living. Definately can't work with their backstory.

... point. Hmmm... intruiging. Maybe a bit much though.

I'm thinking that corporeals would work better than non-corporeals as well.

Something that the mane six can't meaningfully interact with, of course, loses some points.

EDIT:

The last thing he wants to do is appear as normal. He needs to show off his perfect and divine body. It is meant to be worshipped, after all. And idols in his image need to be erected throughout the world. Clearly his great, great, great ... etc ... grand-nieces are wasting this nation.

So Sayaka is really powerful, huh? It's great seeing her get some love, but that's kind of the opposite of what makes her awesome in the show.

I intend to build an Equestria-themed army for De Bellis Napoleonicis in the summer.

Hmm, that interesting goals and motivations for Lich (but still I think he should go with classic Necrocracy). Wait he is related to somepony from present?

And Sayaka is, at least on early levels really OP, only girl I managed to beat game , all bosses many times (other failed, especially vs WN) except Octavia (for obvious reasons).

Great, this has made the season 1 timeline yet more confusing. If Pinkie's birthday is today, then the Party of One must be nearly a year after the Summer Sun Celebration if it happens on the Solstice.

I don't know about the rest, but Necropolitan requires a living, and I beleive willing, creature to transform.

I blame the history monks.

The lich isn't going to be created by Nightmare Moon. He will be created by the others as a response to the discovery that Luna has betrayed them. From the alicorn that Luna and Celestia hated more than any other. Morning Star. Alicorn of Hedonism, Self-worship and Temptation. And a former holder of the Seat of Venus (now owned by Cadance).

Well, i'll be awesome beating up witches as Sayaka.

EDIT:

Indeed. So it's unfortunately inelligible.

Necropoliton, huh? Never tried it. What's it taste like?

It tastses like 0LA playable undead. i.e. awesome.

About finding the date of Pinkie's birthday, according to Equestria Daily, the way that was figured out was not by using the airdate of Party of One, but by using the airdate of A Friend In Deed. In that story, she mentions that her own birthday is in 75 days, so they counted 75 days after that episode first aired and came up with May 3. Which doesn't necessarily coincide with Party of One's airdate, making things rather confusing between the two episodes.

And to Pinkie...Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great party with lots of friends and cake!

Actually, that explains why Pinkie "forgot" her own birthday: she didn't, the rest of the cast just got the date wrong and she rolled with it.

@Japanese Teeth: that is my head canon for the date discrepancy until proven otherwise.

I have an idea. I should have a party on both days!

Whoa there Pinkie... you know what happened last time, right?

@Pinkie: ...that's brilliant. do that.

@Pinkie - Awesome, you should have a barbecue in at least one of those days.
