==Desirability==<br />
The '''sword of Zonguldrok'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|art-data.txt|322}}</ref> is a good weapon, but not a amazing one. Without a damage-dealing brand, it is less consistent than a well-enchanted/branded [[demon blade]] or [[double sword]]. The friendly zombies can be useful, but if you aren't wearing heavy armour, [[Animate Dead]] can replicate that effect. The lack of corpses also means the lack of [[dragon scales]] or [[troll leather armour]], though you can swap weapons if need be.<br />
<br />
The sword of Zonguldrok can always be found in [[Zonguldrok's Shrine]] if it has not already generated elsewhere.<br />
<br />
===Prevents===<br />
*Due to the fact that it passively uses a [[Necromancy|necromantic]] effect each turn, even wielding it is enough to offend the [[good god]]s.<br />
*[[Yredelemnul]] already reaps zombies, so the reaping brand is useless.<br />
*[[Gozag]] and [[Okawaru]] prevent reaping entirely.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*In [[0.33]], the Sword of Zonguldrok was replaced with the [[Skull of Zonguldrok]].<br />
*Prior to [[0.28]], reaping did not deny [[death drop]]s.<br />
*Prior to [[0.26]] and the removal of the food/hunger system, having all slain monsters turned into zombies could create food problems.<br />
*Prior to [[0.19]], the sword created hostile undead in your LOS, was [[cursed]], and would recurse itself when wielded (33.3% chance). <br />
*Prior to [[0.9]], this artefact was a [[long sword]].<br />
