Summary 0001842: Note somewhere that trapdoor spiders are not zombifyable
Description I was told this is not a bug, so it should be told to the player somehow: currently you just get the same message of when there's no corpse at all. Just make a special case of this message along the lines of "this monster is not suitable for reanimation". I don't know if there are other monster which have the same exception, but I'd also extend this change to them.

It'd be much preferable if all the "arbitrarily" nonraisable corpses simply became raisable, but unable to do things like use the eye-family's vision abilities, submerge in the floor (spiders), shapeshift (shapeshifters), glow, mutate, or have elemental brands (ugly things) and so on. Current behavior feels like a bit of a hack, as very few of the creatures have a legitimate flavor or gameplay reason to be unraisable - eyes might, as they'd have no attacks, though the things would still be useful as meat shields.

I made trapdoor spiders raisable, they lose their special ability.

Ugly things have a separate report, so we can close this one.
