It is a mid-level piece of armour in every appearance, but it is a [[cursed]] item in its debut as well as most of its appearances. The armour did a complete about-face when resurrected for the eleventh game, now protecting against being cursed in battle as well as dampening Dark-element damage. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*The zombie mail frequently increasing the wearer's defence by +49 is actually a pun based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_superstitions Japanese superstition] that the numbers 4 and 9 are unlucky: the number 4 can be pronounced as ''Shi'' (死), the same as the kanji for death and the number 9 can be pronounced the same way as the kanji for agony, ''Ku'' (苦). Adding 4 and 9 equals 13, giving the pair an extra layer of eeriness. | |||
