[edit] Canon

Croaking is the equivalent of death in Erfworld. Units which are croaked have zero hits and cannot be healed.

[edit] Bodies

Croaked units leave bodies, which exist as physical objects for a short time after croaking. Bodies disappear at the start of the next turn that their side has, unless moved/claimed (e.g. uncroaked, reanimated as golems, eaten, used for something else like the teddybearskin rug and mounted gwiffon head in Parson's room)^Erf-b1-p035. In the event that their side is eliminated, unclaimed bodies disappear at the next nightfall.

[edit] Speculation

Some speculation exists as to whether burying a corpse counts as moving it, and whether a body thus moved remains to be uncroaked or decrypted.

Due to the facts that Wanda had to retrieve the body of Manpower ^Erf-b1-p3 and later said that they had to capture Ossomer, rather then croak and drag the body over to GK's hex afterwards^Erf-b2-p6, there is speculation that moving a dead body from hex to hex causes it to be impossible to uncroak/decrypt. The evidence either way is weak though as somebody was going to have to retrieve Manpower's body so it may as well have been Wanda who could uncroak it immediately; in Ossomer's case, Ansom wanted Ossomer alive to try and turn him, Wanda decided she wasn't going to bother and decrypted him instead.
