A zombie is a reanimated [[corpse]], typically a human's. Stereotypical zombies are characterized by animalistic behavior, indifference to pain, and an insatiable hunger for human flesh (particularly [[brain]])s. Some zombies walk with a stiff gait and outstretched arms due to rigor mortis. They are a common monster in [[horror (theme)|]] fiction due to their predatory nature and tendency to shrug off debilitating injury.

Only characters with visible evidence of death or decomposition should be tagged zombie. Unnatural grayish-blue or green skin, [[blank eyes]], and festering wounds are good indicators of when this tag should be used. Whether or not a character is canonically a zombie is irrelevant.
