What I've been thinking of a while ago, why not alchemize zombi-monsters? For a wolf, for example, take 2 feet, legs, arms and hands, a heart, a liver, some skin, some food, put them into the cauldron, alch them, and get a zombi-wolf... okay, I couldn't come up with an idea of how to make this wolf better than any charmed one, but still... I got a pile of demon-parts at home and it'd be nice to revive them...
