Geoff Priest put together a great thread at ZBrushCentral with lots of innovative uses of ZBrush and ZSpheres in particular.
The Horsehead ghoul was done in ZSpheres:
Notice how each bone is an individual and separate object. This can be accomplished by holding ALT and clicking on the linking spheres between the control ZSpheres. This is a tool that is simply not used enough and is very powerful.
The next image shows the progression:
The way Geoff created the book with ZSpheres is also really innovative and interesting:
Those half-visible ZSpheres are called Attractor ZSpheres or Magnet Spheres. To learn more about them click here.

spaceboy412 - yeah, that zsphere technique is very cool. Today, someone in one of my classes pointed out you could do a similar thing with Mesh Extraction from a 3D plane. Just draw the profile of it as a mask and then press SubTool: Mesh Extract with a high thickness value.
