Zombies are lumbering reanimated [[corpse]]s who are very prevalent throughout the dungeons and can be encountered as early as in the [[Underwater Tunnels]]. They are extremely tenacious and will continue to attack until slain (again), even when dismembered. Furthermore, they can reattach any lost limb, including their head, and will happily continue their unlife until either their torso or groin are destroyed. Any humanoid body part lying on the ground is eligible for a zombie to use as a substitute for its own lost limb, leading to such monstrosities as kobold zombie with an [[orc]]ish arm and the head of a [[Mistress]]. However, they cannot make any use of [[Cheats and Exploits#Artificial Limbs|inorganic limbs]].

There is another roundabout way of necromancy - [[Pets|tame]] a proper necromancer. Zombies raised by friendly necromancers will automatically be friendly to you. But beware! While having a horde of undead warriors on your side can be useful in some circumstances, it can also be a royal pain. A newly-raised zombie does not know most orders and cannot be given any if it lacks a head. So unless you go around playing Drill Sergeant to every single friendly zombie, they'll wear and wield whatever they come across, follow you in crowds and generally make nuisances of themselves.
