Dead Names
Snowleopard:
A few bricks shy a full hod.
Or as we say out here - a couple of tacos shy of a combo platter.
Nickeris86:
Lol that makes me think of the short film Frankin Weenie where a kid brings his dog back to life Frankenstein style.
Though I feel I should clarify something, this character is not a dog in shape. He looks like a really tall beefy man. His masters keep his skin completely covered to hide his undead nature. I was using the dog analogy to describe this type of undead's level of free will and intelligence depending on the amount of power and skill used to make them.
This particular one is damn near flawlessly built and has the comparative intelligence of a very well trained and well cared for German Shepard.
He vary well could have dog parts in him somewhere but you couldn't tell by looking at him. Though will have zombie animals and other such horrors running around my main character eventually.
OZ:
I like Dragon Eyes idea of just calling it a construct. It's a pretty apt description and hard to confuse unless your world also has some sort of mechanicals or cyborgs.
Snowleopard:
If you go the art route - the terms would be collage or assemblage.
The Corvidian:
How about a "Slab" or a "Knox", a "Burke", or a "Hare"? The last three come from a doctor who brought dead bodies, and the two body snatchers who supplied him.
