Zombie swabs are encountered during and after the Rum Deal quest on Braindeath Island. They have an intimidate option, which scares the zombie and no longer makes it aggressive towards the player (it only needs to be done once per zombie). However, this does not work between attacks, so the player might want to find a safe spot in order to use this option.

While a player is intimidating, the conversation is replaced with an image of a kitten.

Although their weakness is air spells when not attacked, it changes to crushing attacks when in combat.
