| Reference | monst.c#line2113 |
A kobold zombie, Z, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is the weakest monster among the zombies, and is likely to be one of the first you will encounter. A kobold zombie has a single claw attack, and can follow you to other levels if it is adjacent.
Contents
Generation
Randomly generated kobold zombies are always hostile.
A kobold zombie will leave an aged kobold corpse upon death.
Strategy
Kobold zombies are pushovers compared to live kobolds, and are among the easier early monsters for most roles to handle - they cannot use items of any kind, and their claw attack is quite manageable.
For neutral protection racketeers, kobold zombies are the most ideal early monsters to encounter and kill directly, as killing cross-aligned hostile monsters enables safe prayer and boosts alignment record: zombies are among the few early options available, and the kobold zombie is very unlikely to provide an experience level since it gives only one experience point.
History
The kobold 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.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, kobold zombies can be created by using the raise zombies technique while adjacent to the corpse of any kobold.
