The Necronautilus
This huge rotting whale carcass has been brought to un-life by the Great Lich Umeen. It can hold roughly 30 passengers in its belly and is controlled from a command room near where its brain was once located.
History
Used by Umeen and her followers to transort undead creations from their secret island base to the underground of the mainland during the War of Death. Umeen had underground caverns that lead up into crypts and mausoleums on the surface world. This once great creation now roams the ocean, after Umeen’s demise, holding a crew of skeletons and zombies. It sinks ships and devours the crew (who arise as undead shortly after they die in the belly of The Necronautilus).
Magic/Cursed Properties
The Necronautilus has the ability to keep living creatures alive in the control room without the need for food or air. It’s still churning stomach acids can cause dead bodies to animate. It functions in all other ways as an undead creature, except that it will obey any command about its destination if it is issued from the command room.

As it can actually make a useful transport, someone smart could get in and take a ride. If it only was a simple affair. :)
Good work, ###### Pieh. Necromancy was always my favourite. (ONLY in writing, of course.)

would be an undead squidlike thing with a shell.. :)
But it is a cooler name and this did not affect my vote at all...

If there are any actual duties for the undead, or if it simply 'feels better' with crew onboard, I can't really say. But if it was seriously attacked, they would be surely released.

It has lots of fun elements and is well written to boot. Argh, it shivers me timbers.

I am looking for this to take the award for the short post with the most votes
(And a score above 2.5).

Zomby Dick! Loves it!
A possible explanation for the zombies in its stomach is the need for "minions" to tackle ships... Just thought I put in a couple of cents. :)

Oh, and I think you could easily change it into a huge Nautilus without much effort...

Awesome! I must find a way to use this.

Ewww. The Undead. But undead sporting a rather unexpected ride. I guess I would remove the crew chamber as well, unless that's where the necromancer hangs his(her) hat and plots a course for destruction.
