Contents
Generation
Randomly generated dwarf zombies may occur in small groups of 2 to 4, and are always hostile.
A dwarf zombie will leave an aged dwarf corpse upon death.
Strategy
Despite their tendency to appear in groups, dwarf zombies are much weaker than regular dwarves and lack any form of defense outside of a slightly-better-than-base 9 AC, and should generally be easy for most characters to manage.
History
The dwarf zombie first appears in NetHack 3.3.0, unlike the other various zombies that were first distinguished from each other in NetHack 3.0.0.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, dwarf zombies can be created by using the raise zombies technique while adjacent to the corpse of any dwarf.
Player gnomes and dwarves entering the Gnomish Mines will encounter dwarf zombies in place of normal dwarves.[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.
