Bugs

If a curled up or retracted creature dies and is then reanimated by a necromancer, it retains the effects of being curled up but can move and attack as normal. As result undead echidna is invulnerable to destructionBug:11463.

It combines well with separate bug that allows curled up undead to attackBug:10519.

As result undead echidna may at once be curled up (making it unkillable) and move/attack.

The same problem affects also echidna, giant echidna, hedgehog, giant hedgehog and hedgehog man.

Modding game and removing [PREVENTS_PARENT_COLLAPSE] from the spine body part of the affected animals will allow them to be pulped and killed while curled up. While it makes normal echidnas weaker, this is not a major problem as echidnas are not supposed to be really hard to kill. This workaround what may restore otherwise unplayable games.

It was also reported that in adventure mode "I was able to finally kill the zombie by lighting fires underneath him/around him then waiting for a long time; eventually he 'died in the heat.'"Bug:10519.
