Question ❓

Could you get a zombie to pick up a totem of undying?

I did some experimenting with some zombies and totems of undying to test this out. While some zombies are able to pick up random items like a snowball, sword, or rotten flesh, it seems like totems of undying are excluded from that.
I then started using the /replaceitem command to put a totem of undying into the main hand or off hand of zombies. They can use the totem if you attack them with a sword for example, but they can’t use it against the /kill command.
They don’t drop the totem when the /kill command is used (but they also seem to not drop anything else that I put into their hand using commands, when /kill is used)

Oh wait; maybe the mob that can survive the /kill command is the player, specifically a player that’s in creative mode
Edit: If you’re referring to entities

It does not have any effect on the /kill command, as this command bypass normal gameplay mechanics.

Judging by some source code I've seen for the command, theoretically no mob should be able to avoid being killed by the /kill command as it sets a given entity's health to 0.

Pretty sure slime can survive since it splits but correct me if I’m wrong!
