The Necromancer is one of the most famous fantasy classes to exist in games today, and with good reason.
Some of the most well-known abilities of the Necromancer include powerful spells, resurrecting the dead, and playing around with a mighty undead army.
And yes, that’s a lot of power in one place, so of course you’re gonna need a name for your Necromancer that goes hand in hand with that.
What Does The Necromancer Do?
In games today, the Necromancer can have vastly different abilities depending on what game you’re playing.
Usually, Necromancer abilities revolve around themes such as death, wizardry, spellcasting, summoning skeletons and commanding them around in armies.
The Necromancer is usually a magician specific to the dark arts. Summoning undead beings, or communicating with the spirit realm is not unheard of among Necromancers. Their special skills are often oriented toward “Death magic”.
Some notable games where you can find the Necromancer class include:
- Diablo
- Loop Hero
- Heroes of Might and Magic
- Necropolis
- Sacrifice
- Divinity Original Sin 2
- Everquest
- Guild Wars 1

What Is A Good Necromancer Name?
To choose a good name for your Necromancer, there’s a few things you should consider:
- What game are you playing as a Necromancer? Your necromancer name should be unique to the game you’re playing, and the role you have in that specific game.
- Consider the general Necromancer themes such as Death, Skeletons, Ressurection, and Magic spells. Perhaps other traits make the Necromancer unique to the game you’re playing?
- Make it funny. Opting for a funny name is a good way to bond with other players and create lasting friendships ingame. Maybe roleplaying is your thing, in which case you might wanna tone the funny part down a bit.
