This article is a Zombies are the re-animated corpses of dead beings. While they are very slow, they are often encountered in numbers, and can be a problem for very low-level parties lacking ranged weaponry.
As undead, they are immune to effects like sleep and panic.

Trivia[]
- The offical website for the original game, now archived, had the following information about these undead:[1]
Zombies are mindless, animated corpses controlled by their creators, usually evil wizards or priests. The condition of the corpse is not changed by the animating spell. Since it is difficult to get fresh bodies, most zombies are in sorry shape, usually missing hair and flesh, and sometimes even bones. This affects their movement, making it jerky and uneven. Usually zombies wear the clothing they died (or were buried) in.
