Fake zombie used for spawning. I saw that and create an issue.

[Sahok1]

Describe the bug

I saw a dummy zombie for spawn another zombie in strange place, which not a mass grave. Just a field.

Attach save file

2024-trimmed.tar.gz

Steps to reproduce

find similar place to what is in the save file. I do not know if this compares to normal mass graves or cemeteries. At least I haven't seen it.

Expected behavior

Dummy zombie must not be shown to the player.

@gkarfakis19 does #70632 fix this?

[gkarfakis19]

The new PR makes everything more robust and should make this far less likely, but it should theoretically already be impossible for this to happen, especially for normal zombies without resistances. Let’s wait until the new one gets merged and see if this issue pops up again. I might need to consider some more… extreme measures in killing dormant zombies (probably C++ instead of pure json).

I am not sure if I actually saw one, but it showed up in my creatures log (might have taken the photo a good while ago). This is on MacOS version 0.G-6632-gf2c8c58036 +tiles, +sound installed via homebrew

It might show up in the creature log. We probably need to hardcode zombies with dormant flags not showing up there. I had no idea the creature log even existed. I can't work on this right now so I hope someone gets to this before the next stable.
