Make the Dread Lich Staff be a Legendary Weapon

[EmperorPlebpatine]

Since the legendary weapons are meant to let you harness the power of the mobs the weapon is made from to an extend, the staff of a dread lich could be the legendary weapon for this mob. Just like how you gain the ability to use the soul-draining stare of a cockatrice with the cockatrice scepter, or the ability to send mobs into a trance with the siren flute, the staff would let you make your own dread army.

Just like a normal dread lich, you'd get a mob that serves you, but which kind is determined by what you kill.

Killing zombies, husks, trolls, and cyclopes yield dread ghouls.

Killing skeletons and wither skeletons yields dread thralls.

Killing spiders, cave spiders, and myrmex yields dread scuttlers.

Killing animals like cows, pigs, wolves, or rabbits yield dread beasts.

Just like normal dread liches, the size of the dread servants is proportional to what you killed. (e.g., a dread ghoul converted from a cyclops will be bigger than one converted from a husk.) These new servants would basically be similar to a pet dog, where you could leave them in a wandering, following or staying order. They'd attack anything that either you punch or that attacks you.

Perhaps this could go into the Dread Queen's legendary? I'd love to have my own Dread Thrall army, tbh. Especially one with no size or time limitations.

There should certainly be a place for the Dread Knights in the roster, perhaps some of the more adept combatants (like Piglin Brutes, Vindicator Captains, or Skeleton Horsemen) could be turned into Dread Knights?

Bonus points if the staff in question could also be used with a banner to alter the colour scheme and shield banners of the mobs.
