What if the Trickster Wraith had an upgraded animate ability to make puppet-like mobs from corpses? It would be like summoning a mob with monkey code:
- Grabs nearby items as a weaponÂ
- Attacks closest players
But unlike like monkeys, they have extra features:
- Repeats some of the player's previous dialogue that round
- Contorts limbs occasionally (vampire stun removal animation)
- Occasionally plays carnival music
- Doesn't stop attacking until it dies/timer runs out

That would be pretty damn spooky for people that don't know what's happening, yes please

I don't see why not? Wraiths have to consume corpses to gain points, but this allows them to decide to use them as puppets too.
Basicly the wraith is giving up becoming powerful to make a puppet.

Ooh, maybe have it spew black gas and have limbs shoot off close to the timer running out. I can also see it be a smart idea when people are grabbing bodies to make the bodies bite back

Personally, having an ability that raises a corpse to attack people feels more like a harbinger wraith ability. On top of that, it seems like there is some overlap with the raise skeleton ability since both use a corpse to raise a mob that'd attack people with the exception that the mobs from this new ability would use weapons.
