Corpse Appearance

This has probably been suggested before so I'm sorry if this is a repeat, but can we get it so that a corpse retains the description it had when it was a living NPC/mob?

During a fight you don't always have time to "look" at the fancy mobs GMs spawn on our faces, but they generally have special appearances. I would like to see what they look like when there's actually time to notice if possible :)

Thanks!

I'd like to see this as well. There've been times that we've faught pretty neat npc's and I personally don't think about looking at them until they're already dead.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the reason why we were doing this is some critter descriptions are somewhat animated or indicative of life.

For now, I've added some code that will carry over the old description to the new description (The line about looting and burying it IS actually the description.), as well as laid out a method for us to add unique death descriptions to stuff.

If you see any corpses that look too alive when LOOKed at, please BUG them and we'll add death descriptions to them.
