Why is it undead never seem to try to take care of their physical appearance? You'd figure at least some of them would be vain or aesthetes concerned with such things.

Because that leads to cancer where undead like most other monsters in modern day are just another kind of people and not abominations.
>>97877714Vampires almost never try, it just happens as part of what they are. There are exceptions though.
I ran a game with a Lich that used slimes and then hard clay to make a sort of soft terracotta over his rotting bits. He was obsessed with his body and became a sort of Master Roshi type, always walking around looking for people to admire him. He was still a conventional lich, with aspirations of dark ascension and deals with dark gods (specifically Baphomet), but he wanted to live so he could LIVE, not just rot in a crypt. He became a massive hedonist, but in order to facilitate his desires he had to become palpable to the masses. So this involved perfume, fine clothes, maids for his tower, keeping up his terracotta flesh. Finally, he could use these principles in reverse, knowing what disarms a person aesthetically, he'd "re-arm" himself with fear and costumes to intimidate opponents.

>>97878074Most of the time, though, mummies are depicted as being slovenly and falling apart. They aren't upkeeping themselves any more.

>>97883725Are you fucking retarded?
>>97877628Kill yourself redditor
>>97880101A mummy has had their guts taken out an pickled in jars just to keep their skin in good condition. Most of them even have special masks to hide their decayed faces. They put in the effort to look presentable for hundreds or even thousands of years. I doubt you've even showered this week. >>97877718You try applying make-up with no reflection.
kill yourself, puckee
