[[Image:horrify.jpg|thumb|left|Horrify the enemy]][[Image:Skill_witchdoctor_horrify_icon.gif|left|Horrify]]This curse-like spell works like the Terror curse (or the barbarian's grim ward skill), but functions almost like an aura; causing any monster near the WD to flee in fright. Monsters in range are overcome with fright and immediately scatter, running away from the WD. The skill works by summoning a frightening spirit, which appears above the WD and screams and shakes its arms at the monsters. Presumably, any monsters that come into range while the horrify spirit is active are affected by it, essentially making the WD a moving object of terror. This limits the skill as well, since it can't be cast on individual targets, or cast a great distance from the WD.

[[Image:Wd-zombie-wall1.jpg|thumb|left|The wall shreds goatmen.]]
[[Image:Icon-wallofzombies.jpg|left|Wall of Zombies]]This skill works much like the Necromancer's bone wall; causing a straight line of obstacles to erupt from the earth. Not merely obstacles though, this wall is made of zombified creatures who claw at and deal damage to any monsters who come into range. Monsters attack the wall, so this isn't hard to do.
The wall zombies seem to be very powerful in the WWI gameplay movie, ripping dozens ===Plague of Moon Clan goatmen to shreds in just seconds.

Mongrels are valid targets for the Sacrifice skill, and will detonate when chosen, dealing substantial damage to nearby targets.

The Zombie Skill Tree was originally called the "Plague Skill Tree", but was changed at [[BlizzCon 2009]] to reflect a more Zombie-related theme.
