A gnome zombie:

| Reference | monst.c#line2120 |
A gnome zombie, Z, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is the second weakest zombie after the kobold zombie, and is likely to be one of the first you will encounter. A gnome zombie has a single claw attack, and can follow you to other levels if it is adjacent.
Contents
Generation
Randomly generated gnome zombies are always hostile.
A gnome zombie will leave an aged gnome corpse upon death.
Strategy
Gnome zombies are barely stronger than kobold zombies and noticeably weaker than live gnomes. Most roles can handle gnome zombies with the same ease as kobold zombies, and neutral protection racketeers can theoretically benefit from killing one - unlike kobold zombies, they also give a fair bit of experience that may make it more difficult for such players to maneuver around minimizing their experience level while gaining alignment record and prayer access.
History
The gnome zombie first appears in NetHack 3.0.0, where most of the various zombies are first distinguished from each other.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, gnome zombies can be created by using the raise zombies technique while adjacent to the corpse of any gnome.
Player gnomes and dwarves entering the Gnomish Mines will encounter gnome zombies in place of normal gnomes.[1]
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.
