| Reference | monst.c#line2149 |
A human zombie, Z, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. A human zombie has a single claw attack, and can follow you to other levels if it is adjacent.
Generation
Randomly generated human zombies may occur in small groups of 2 to 4, and are always hostile.
Guards, high priests, aligned priests, and Angels are special-cased to become human zombies if the player attempts to animate their corpse or statue by any means - including directly creating them in wizard mode - since they are not intended to be created outside of specific circumstances.[1] While shopkeepers are also listed among these monsters, this only applies to wizard mode creation since revival is special-cased to work on them.
A human zombie will leave an aged human corpse upon death.
Strategy
Human zombies have a decently strong claw attack, making groups of them dangerous for early characters who are careless or caught unprepared. Chaotic human characters can use these zombies to convert cross-aligned altars with their corpses, or else summon demons on co-aligned ones.
History
The human zombie first appears in NetHack 3.0.0, where 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.
