You've been posting here anon, you are engaging. And I clearly said "caring about anything else". Of course I care about the question I answered, and what came after. I don't get how you could have trouble with this.
And again, that curious leap of logic where if anyone engages with you, it means defending the thread. Do what you like anon, report it, hide it, keep posting, whatever. Just know that, if OP's goal was to trigger your response, he succeeded. Probably not for the first time, and most definitely not for the last, because he gets positive feedback out of this.
Keep going then, by all means. Have a good day.

Palladium has undead and anti undead abilities. And to answer the question, probably not. Palladium undead abilities make a hard distinction on undead created by supernatural means and not corpses that have been juiced up until they start moving again.

Not usually, they are classified usually as alchemical creations (Promethean: The Created) or supernatural constructions (D&D).
Since we already have this thread: remember when in the book Victor destroys the almost ready Bride for the Creature since he is afraid that they move to some desolated part of the world (the Creature mentions jungles of South-America) and start to breed, and that this new race of creatures will conquer the whole world since they are bigger and stronger than baseline humans.
Just thinking that it would be an interesting alternative history tabletop setting/scenario.

In the novel, the creature is not a resurrected man. It is a new form of life that resembles a man. This is why Victor finds him beautiful before he brings him to life but feels atavistic disgust afterwards. He can sense on a base bestial level that this is not a man.

Like that one anon already said the novel never discusses how Victor created Adam but in the book Victor did say that he used to creep around graveyards and slaughterhouses so the "Flesh Golem" archetype of the Universal movie version has some base in the book.
>The children would be normal humans with the genetics of whatever dead people's gonads he stapled into them.
Well, yes, that would probably be the most logical conclusion if the Creature is a Flesh Golem and not a new form of life. But for the sake of the scenario, if you will, let us assume that the Creature and the Bride can breed and produce a monstrous race that will threaten mankind.
Of course if the creature is created late 18th century and they breed as fast as normal humans they don't have a big enough population to fight before mankind invents stuff like atomic bomb etc. so that is also a problem for an apocalyptic monster war scenario.
>>97498233
In this particular case I would assume that a lightning bolt to the assembled corpse would also cause some supernatural mutations (if we go with the Universal classic).
