Allow your skeletons to lay dead and ambush the enemy.

The skeleton turn to a normal corpse after performing the ability. Then you can press the rise ability to turn it back to a normal skeleton. The skeleton will die if got stepped by unit in corpse mode.

Couldn't just the corpse work?

The image would be self explanatory as well.

I must admit, this is a nifty idea. Unfortunately you would have to decay like most corpses or it would be detected as that one corpse that won't go away

I don't think it might decay if it was risen from its death to fight for their masters eternally.

What about it appear like it has a vanishing effect but after this vanishing the unit is simply transformed back to its original form?

I'm with this. Forgotten? I really feel ambushing enemies right now. It will probably require a new unraisable corpse type, but will certainly be worth it.
