You're about to be raised as an undead by a necromancer. You have a choice what type of undead you come back as. What do you come back as?

I'm going to be a lich.
I get the keep my mind and memories, so I'm not some dumb zombie going babbling "brrrrlll" here and there, seeking brains. I'm fairly powerful so I can pull out my own weight, enough to become the necromancer's right arm. And if it comes to the worst I can always backstab the necromancer and become the boss, as typically lichs have their own necromancy.
Objectively the best answer. Plus, as long as you hide your phylactery well, there's not much the necromancer can do to keep you in line.
I'd expect my phylactery to be with the necromancer at the start, for exactly this reason. So I think that a lot of my job in my first days [years?] as an undead is to get their trust so I can: replace my phylactery with a copy, hide the original, and proclaim my independence.
You know you have to feed a soul to your phylactery like every few days. Who’s gonna get got?
Do souls have sizes, like "you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig"?
Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.
Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.
Pedophiles, Rapists and evil people who cannot be reformed
Can liches shape-shift, if so I want to become one so I can swap my bodies sex
Probably, given that they're good spell casters. You could for example cast "alter self", and look like your desired sex. The main problem is that those spells are typically short-lived, they last minute~hours, so after the time ends you're again a skeleton or decaying corpse.
A vampire. Since it’s a necromancer raising me, instead of another vampire, I won’t be enthralled and will have free will.
Then there’s all the wonderful abilities and the fact that I’ll still look good for an undead (it’s a pretty movie vampire, not one of those creepy ones)Wasn't that how Mitch McConnell was born?
He's more of a turtle golem.
He's a master of disguise
Whatever type Jesus was. Folks seem to like that kind of undead.
Undead Deity is in fact a great answer to the question.
A bowl of petunias.
Again?
Oh no.
Agrajag, is that you?
So any animal is fair game? In which case, dodo. You MFs ate us into oblivion, I'm gonna come back with species worth of pent up rage and an undead thirst for blood.
Edit: in retrospect I now realise a dodo would be super easy to send back to the underworld :-(. I'm gonna be... checks deadliest thing notes, a car.
Lich would be fun
I know it's probably too on brand, but maybe some kind of monstrous wolf hell beast thing. Maybe with a skull as a head and dripping flesh.
If I'm going to be a mindless killing machine, may as well have some fun with it. Better than being a slow shambling skeleton or zombie at any rate.
Perhaps you would enjoy this.
I certainly did.
Blue whale.
"oh no, not again"
I'll be that guy, and say abomination. The more twisted the better. Like a mouth in my belly, extra arm on my back kind of twisted. I'll learn to enjoy striking terror in my victims' hearts. Afterlife will be dope.
Lich. The power that other famous examples like Darth Cheney and Henry Kissinger had is just too tempting.
Ghostflame Dragon.
Jesus, for sure. Not that he came back.
But that is what the Good News(tm) is all about for the evangelicals! He is already HERE! Parts of him are probably fossilized or petrified by now. And the rest of him is just dust. And dust never goes away. Why, I might even have a particle of Jesus dust in my yogurt right now! Halleluhah.
If I'm an undead undead, do I get to live?
Depends on how your summoned I guess.
Something non-sentient please, I was enjoying nonexistence
If you disregard supernatural powers of undead, it's different depending on who you ask anyway, I'd go with a skeleton.
I'm pretty lazy, so... spectre. Having no body to haul around will make things easier.
A capybara in a remote location that won't see human development within my new lifetime. Just chillin' with my interspecies homies.
Wasn't talking animals. I meant what type of undead would you come back as. xD

Ghost. Flying, intangibility, spooky telekinesis ... Sounds great.
The painkiller thing where you can tear off your head and throw it at someone and then still control it well enough to bite them
I'd come back as a wraith, preferably shadow of mordor / war style with domination powers.
Otherwise, a lich assuming I could have lich magic and evolve
Arch lich?
I'd go as more-or-less human ala the movie Warm Bodies. Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I can't have a nice romantic fling!
Hmmm,an undead deity, undead tarrasque, or, the pact to summon me would be the life of the summoner and he summons me as his undead self.
I like all of these options
Darksign'd undead. Sure I'll hollow out eventually, but for now lets do some jolly co-operation.
Whatever kind of undead Raziel counts as. Double undead vampire = soul devouring wraith? Hey, manifesting on both spiritual and physical realms is neat.
What is this? Some kind of druid / necromancer dual class?
Nah, I meant what type of undead. I edited the post title, sorry.
Probably like a skunk or something idk.
Skeleton:
- When the hero comes into the tomb, I want it to be dead first, no faffing about with boss fight (which they always win) BS.
- I like the musical nature of their bones.
- I already am one, sort of...
I would be the kind of ghost that could possess people so I could bang their wives using their bodies but somehow when I cum, the possessed penis shoots out my actual sperm so I can forever keep my sainted genome alive
Tiamat
Is not undead?
One that can shape-shift so I can change my bodies sex to the one that aligns with my gender identity and be fully conscious and self aware but I'd also line to have free will
I'd also want to have all powerful magic as well
Oh hell no. A fumbled 1, shambling back into sweet death-death within moments, possibly dragging him with me.
The kind that instantly kills the necromancer, then returns to being dead.
Alhoon
I guess a skeleton. Id be reach on account of all the bones
