"Zombies are little more than shambling automatons, which follow simple orders from their masters to the letter."

- Monster summary^(src)

Zombies are an undead monster type in Diablo I.

In-game

Zombies are commonly found throughout the cathedral section of the labyrinth, but are rarer than skeletons. They are also quite slow, making them easy training targets for rookie adventurers. Zombies appear in several additional variations: Ghouls, Rotting Carcasses, and Black Deaths.

Zombies tend to keep to themselves; they will not hunt the player(s) down even when they are on-screen. However, if approached or if the player(s) come close to them, they will begin to slowly pursue the player(s). Ghouls, Rotting Carcasses, and Black Deaths are much more aggressive, but due to their speed, they pose no threat to one who is retreating from a fight. However, they tend to hit much harder than other enemies to make up for their speed. If the player(s) is/are low on life or simply too weak to engage in melee combat, its best to avoid these enemies (unless the player(s) have spells or ranged weapons).
