Cool. Did it stay charmed, or revert to Unfettered status the next time it crunched down on a tasty corpsicle?

Having it go wild in enemy lands is fun, but it is not that hard to kill when it goes wild. Regenerating 35 hps per round does not help against an army with its low defense and prot.

I'd certainly agree that it is more of a "for fun" summons than a serious contender in a MP game (unless someone can suggest a sneaky strategy for it), but regenerating 35HP/round is the lower limit for an Unfettered Eater of the Dead, from what I remember of my test. And yes, this was at the end of a single-player game on a large map.
Once the Eater has over 1000HP (and so is regenerating over 100HP/round), with very high Fear, and add on whatever boosting magic items you gave him (2 miscellaneous slots, if I recall correctly), he will be a major pain to kill.
Not impossible, but what is?
