 A hedrow zombie is [[amphibious]], [[unbreathing]], [[mindless]] and lacks [[HP regeneration]] like a "traditional" zombie in dNetHack and its variants, but he can be seen via [[infravision]], and also has [[darkvision]] much like a living [[Drow (dNetHack)|drow]] does. Hedrow zombies can follow a [[hero]] to other levels if they are close enough. A hedrow zombie has 1 point of natural [[AC]] and several slots of natural [[DR]]: 6 points each for the upper body and lower body slots, and 2 each for the head, hands and legs.

+Randomly-generated hedrow zombies are always hostile, and may appear in small [[group]]s.
 The hedrow zombie is the first [[quest]] monster for the [[Hedrow Noble]], and makes up {{frac|96|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Hedrow Noble quest]]&mdash;this also applies for [[Drow (starting race)|hedrow]] [[Priest/dNetHack|Priests]], [[Rogue/dNetHack|Rogues]], [[Ranger/dNetHack|Rangers]], and [[Wizard/dNetHack|Wizards]] that have turned traitor. Hedrow zombies also appear among the random {{white|Z}} that are part of the second quest [[monster class]] for traitor hedrow heroes and make up {{frac|6|175}} of the monsters generated on their quest.

 Hedrow heroes that [[Death (character)|die]] and leave [[bones]] where they arise from the dead will resurrect as hedrow zombies, depending on their killer.-->
 Hedrow zombies leave behind an aged male drow [[corpse]] upon death. [[Zapping]] a [[wand of undead turning]] or [[casting]] the {{+ of|turn undead}} spell at a corpse left by a hedrow zombie will revive it as a hedrow zombie.
