I recently learnt that 「何も」 means 'nothing' (e.g. 「何も怖くないです。」 means 'Nothing
scares (me).').

But how do I say 'What else'? (e.g. 'What else goes well with this dress?' or
'What else never dies?)

question
grammar words
何も means 'Nothing' instead of 'What also'
I would go with "他に" 'What also goes well with this dress?'→このドレスに合うものは **他に**
何がある？ 'What also never dies?→死なないのは、 **他に** 何がある？ As mentioned in a comment
above, this is more of a "what else" as opposed to a "what also."

Ah, I see what you're asking. The particle も can indeed be used in a similar
manner to the English _also_ , e.g. 子供｛こども｝の時｛とき｝、あまりゲームをしなかった。 今 **も**
ゲームをしない (When I was a child, I didn't really play games. I also don't really
play games now). But there isn't really a way to contract _also_ into 何 in the
same manner of 何も (nothing) 何か (something).

If you wish to say _also_ , as in, "Also, what will we eat?", where _also_ is
being used as a conjunction, you would use 「また」. For example: **また**
、何を食{た}べる？

If you wish to use _also_ to mean, "In addition to" or "additionally" or
"furthermore", you would use さらに instead of また. さらに is a bit more challenging
to use because さらに often requires you to change certain particles to も, for
example さらに、水 **も** 飲みたいです instead of さらに、水 **を** 飲みたいです.
