+
+Yes they do go unconscious at zero, but their health may need to be less 
+than -1 for them to die, particularly for powerful monsters. That is why I 
+suggested that the monster's strength may have something to do with it. To 
+test this, I used a dagger to knock a dragon out and see how low its health 
+could go, and it seemed to die approximately when its health got down to 
+-12. Since the dragon had 36 strength, it seems that the negative amount may 
+be one third of the strength.

+
+Monsters certainly get the lying-down frame when they are unconscious, but 
+the body after they are killed is an entirely different shape. You can tell 
+the difference because the dead body has blood on it (or other differences). 
+For example a horse is shape 727 but the body is shape 778, frame 1 (shape 
+778 frames are bodies for 13 types of monsters).
