Soot Zombies appear to be a whole new breed of undead.  "Soot Thralls" seems to be the accepted term for... whatever these are.  They're still very poorly understood.  Science is needed to determine exactly how they work.

I mainly think Toady spent too much time in Morrowind. :P

Likewise. I know for sure I once had a cave dragon wrestle a soldier with its wings.

One of the giant wrens grabbed my Marksdwarf by the arm and bent it the wrong way untill it shattered. From this, I assume they can grasp. The bastards.

In theory, the teeth may.  There seems to be some inheritance of tags, where head hair inherits the [HEAD] tag and thus reanimates.  Teeth... well, you may end up with a legion of undead teeth.  However, no one has reported this yet, and plenty of people have had teeth broken, so I must assume that it doesn't happen.
You can't reanimate teeth.Deon's Witcher Mod let's you start as an adventurer with reanimating powers, it makes it easy to see exactly what will and will not murder you in fortress.

Does this mean we'll have solitary flying zombie wings?

Kinda like a butterfly actually.
