Something Iβve noticed is that there has been a wave of new users after 1.0.0 (mostly me and Mr.Pukilar from the looks of it).

Reminds me of the origins of Liches.
Itβs actually an old English word for corpse. Not even a walking one, just corpse.
Then there was the story of Koshchei the immortal, which was based off of a Russian who had a lucky charm that was essentially a broken arrowhead in a eggs shell. He survived several near death experiences and lived into his 90βs at a time when few lived to be 50 (it was said he lived for 6 generations). Interestingly, Koshchei, while nobody can kill him, is not really described as an undead, but more as an immortal that never died in the first place.
Then, in a relatively short period of time, several people made stories featuring Undead Sorcerers, like Mumm-ra in Thunder Cats and Skeletor in He-Man.
Then Tolkien made a story about an Necromancer whom, using an object that worked much like the one Koshchei the Immortal was said to have had in the less historical retellings, reformed their corporal form after it had been destroyed TWICE. Only Tolkien went with a ring instead of an amulet, and his villain was more Outsider than Undead.
Then, DnD 2 Advanced (it is currently up to 5 Advanced, distinct from but related to 5 original) named an Undead Necromancer whom uses such an object to restore its physical form when destroyed (now referred to as a Phylactery) as a Lich. That is a long way from βCorpseβ.
Then a different Dark Lord whom practitioned Necromancy (clearly says this in book six) . . .
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Spoilers
made 6 (cough 7 cough) such objects, but in that series they are called Horcruxes.

In both the original and reboot show, Humanoid cats leave their home of Thundera, and battle Mumm-ra.

So youβve watched that show?
The anthropomorphic cat people flee their home planet and, led by a child in a muscular adult body, invade a very Earth-like planet, which Mumm-ra tries to defend. It is actually pretty messed up when you think about it, but the original was/is very popular. The remake did not do so well, though I personally liked it.
I never heard of it so itβs probably not that popular in my region. Also was that mumm-ra guy evil or just defending their planet?

Mumm-ra serves an evil god and clearly does evil things, and I believe he conquered his own planet wrongfully before, in his defense, the Thunder Cats, seemingly not knowing any of this, more of less invaded the planet. In the end they are sort of heroes, but, that was not their motive.
Why did the cats flee their planet btw

It blew up, and most of those fleeing were killed by enemies from another planet, though I think that may have been opportunistic, I am not sure if their enemies had anything to do with the planet blowing up or not. The Thunder Cats were in need of a new home. They landed on what I think was a post apocalyptic Earth ruled by Mumm-ra.
Well thatβs A setting for a show I suppose. Did they get anywhere with this conquest of Earth and mumm-ra by the showβs end?

I assume so, but I only saw some of the show. Realizing that the rulers of the planet they landed on are evil and overthrowing them is one thing, but their leader literally went to sleep as an untrained child and then woke up as a very muscular adult whom had not yet mentally developed or been taught the skills they need to know, but is just listened to as if the were a wise king and warrior. And it shows in some their earlier actions. Amusing but strange.
Is mumm-ra a human btw, or are humans extinct by the time of the catsβ arrival?
