An ettin zombie, Z, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is one of a few zombies that you may encounter before seeing any of their living counterparts. An ettin zombie has two claw attacks, and can follow you to other levels if it is adjacent.

Generation

Randomly generated ettin zombies are always hostile.

An ettin zombie will leave an aged ettin corpse upon death.

Strategy

While still slower than even a burdened hero, ettin zombies are tied for the fastest monsters among zombies with the giant zombie and the skeleton. Combined with their two claw attacks, ettin zombies can pose a significant threat to underprepared or under-armored characters, and are reliably encountered well before the player sees any live ettins.

History

The ettin zombie first appears in NetHack 3.0.0, where most of the various zombies are first distinguished from each other.

Encyclopedia entry

The zombi ... is a soulless human corpse, still dead, but taken from the grave and endowed by sorcery with a mechanical semblance of life, -- it is a dead body which is made to walk and act and move as if it were alive.

[ W. B. Seabrook ]
