z

  • noun Abbreviation for 'zombie', a commonly-encountered type of mobile that usually blocks the movement of highlife (an example of a macro trap). They don't attack very often, and aren't too difficult to beat even then; they're more of an irritation than a threat (but skellies, on the other hand...). However, they can come in clutches, so it isn't always a good idea to type 'k z' in case another one appears just as you hit the return key... Individual zombies will sometimes be referred to by number, eg. "I was the first person to open the BC, but Z8 was dead! Wiz interference!" (Aside: actually, it may not have been wiz interference, because if you get, say, vase2, and hit it until it's almost broken, you can put the bow in it, drop it in the circle, and it'll break upon impact when it arrives in the... What? You mean you could just use the GFC?). See zombied, clutch, zed.
