Summary0005078: Zombies re-animated multiple times, resulting in malformed creature/corpse names
DescriptionReached necromancer's tower. Tower was full of Elf Corpses, and I think 3 necromancers. When fighting the elf corpses, I would kill them (cause them to collapse), and then a necromancer would raise it into a 'zombie elfelf corpse', and when I killed that, it would be raised into another 'zombie elfelf corpse' or 'zombie elfelf mutilated corpse'. Not sure if I can actually kill the zombies, or the zombie's raised body parts.
I don't think this is a feature.
Steps To Reproduce1. Load save.
2. Kill a zombie.
3. Kill the same zombie, again.

Even if the resurrecting zombies is to be expected, the names of the resurrected zombies need fixing.

0005139 seems to have something similar to this with the mutilated names-- "Cat corpsecat corpse", or "Urist's corpse's Corpse".

The whole re-raising thing is probably not intended. It makes clearing a necromancer tower near impossible (I hacked all my stats to max and they still mobbed me to death)

This fixed the main cause that I'm aware of. Some corpse names will still be weird, but raised critters should only mimic that now instead of appending into a mess sometimes.
