zombifying a monkey should not make it human - Mouse - 03-01-2025
Currently, if a monkey gets turned into a zombie, they turn into a human zombie. I feel it would be better if they turned into a monkey zombie. Here's my attempt at it.

Credit goes to whoever did the monkey sprites, the monkey skeleton sprites, and the zombie sprites honestly, I just layered the first two and erased/painted referencing the last.

Really like this suggestion, we need more unique monkey sprites, I love the skeleton monkey from the wizard spell.

Does this zombie climb tables?

fwiw this seems like something specific to mutant races, I've sprited thrall versions of all our current races but have been told to hold off on PRing it until the rework happens.
So....

They turn 'human' because Zombie is actually a separate Muntantrace from both Human and Monkey. Currently we don't have anything to support something like this, so it'll be on hold until the distant/close (no ETA) future of the mutantrace rework.
Though, when we are able to do this I think it'd be sick. Doesn't make sense not to after the mutantrace rework, I think.

Does the mutantrace rework cover the NPC critter zombies?

AFAIK mutantraces only apply to /mob/living/human, the NPC zombies are not that. Could be wrong on this though.
