Zombies return to Diablo III in much the same form as they limped around in Diablo I and Diablo II. Humanoid, slow, shambling, and just generally unpleasant. Their slow speed and negligible intelligence makes them perfect targets for new characters to warm up and level up against.

They are easy to outrun and outsmart, and they are only any threat at all if they appear in so large numbers you can't kill them all in time. Even that is normally not a problem, since all classes have some sort of AoE damage spell to kill more of them at once.

Zombies have no known spells or special abilities.

Known Zombie Types

While there are individual monsters actually called "Zombie," the term is frequently used to refer to all of the fleshy, undead, human-sized creatures in Diablo III. These include:

• Crawling Torso - A Zombie which is not dealt enough damage to continues to crawl.
• Walking Corpse - A slightly tougher Zombie.
• Wretched Dead - Other sort of zombie, that also can be female.

It's not yet known if these are different monster types, or just subtypes of the basic Zombie.

Background

Zombies can be both re-animated corpses straight out of a grave, which require very little magic energy from a Necromancer to give a basic motivation (braaaains...) of destructive power. It's motivation can also be a restless spirit of the former inhabitant of the body, awakening again after death, looking for others to inflict this pain.

Zombies are generally completely void of intelligence, and the wounds they received prior to their death often slows them down, making them dangerous primarily only in large numbers. They are the most basic sort of undead, often thought of as even less troublesome than Skeletons. The one thing they have as an advantage is usually that they can take more physical punishment before they are destroyed, and the force or spirit that drives them is removed/expelled.
