Thinking about a druid build recently, and I noticed I didn't see any reason to fit Conjuration into the build. Atronachs and humanoid zombies don't seem very 'druidy' to me, nor do bound weapons.

But what about reanimating animals? Aside from the Animal Allegiance shout, reanimation could be one way to get a pseudo animal companion. How cool would it be to have a Spriggan following you around?

Is this possible? If so, is it worthwhile?

i once reanimated a spriggan and that worked pretty good

Are spriggans 'dead thrall'-able?

No. Dead Thrall only works on NPCs, not creatures.

you can reanimate creatures but they turn ash after awhile and cant be reanimated again..i wish they had a creature thrall master spell to keep a permanent spirit pet by my side but i play xbox so im beat
