No. As you know, zombies are spawned with random limbs and/or head. The same thing happens when you polymorph into a zombie. You may or may not have all your limbs or head. So it makes no difference if you have a head or not as a zombie, when you change back you'll be back the way you were before you polymorphed.

As for zombies reattaching limbs/heads, they can do that with any limbs/heads. I once filled the library with zombies, and when I came back one had the head of the librarian

Ack, I thought I left one out. Thanks Apple

Cerumen, that's all too true, but I meant once it dies

Brown, black, grizzly and polar. Polar bears are the strongest, and the one in Attnam makes for a good pet/food source when you're heading into GC/UT4

You're not stuck as a zombie, and you don't retain the marble head.

Aside from the afore mentioned and overlooked bug, the only way to survive the loss of your head is if you're a zombie. Upon which it is entirely possible to get a head of an unconventional material. I have gotten a marble head once.

Haha! It's been a while since we've heard of a good death


About that though, we've had someone survive the loss of their head, so that doesn't necessarily end your game.

Only if you lose it while biting a hedgehog.

Actually, I've come to the conclusion that it's more to do with the weight than the material. A very nice diamond dagger will still fetch a poor price.

1. I believe pets following you have something to do with their intelligence and agility. Pets with higher INT such as angels will generally stick to you like... Well, you know the saying. AGI should be self-explanatory.

2. Currently wands of necromancy will turn a corpse into its zombie form if it has one.

That hardly becomes a problem with a good box.

On the contrary, good man. Unless you enjoy dying often, IVAN will force you to think
