Zombie

Zombies are dead people who are revived after their burial and compelled to do the bidding of the person who has revived them. Zombies first appeared in voodoo, or vodou, a type of black magic. In voodoo, a houngan, or sorcerer, brings dead people to live for the purpose of enslavement. The master of the zombie can then command it to implement evil tasks and perform menial labor.
In Voodoo mythology, zombies are re-animated using supernatural means and shamanistic medicines. Zombies inspire fear in everyone who sees them, and they are also thought to eat human flesh and are especially fond of brains. Zombies are most common in Haiti and Africa.
Zombies often have the appearance of a decaying person, although they may initially appear to just be a little distracted (or in a trance, or strangely attracted to your cranium…). Zombies’ brain stems are the only thing that is not dead about them, and their whole body moves with a supernatural energy and power. Zombies may be greenish in color and dressed in filthy, mouldy rags. Evil sorcerers can command armies of zombies to do things like attack villages and build dark temples. Zombies rise from their coffins, splintering the wood and bursting up through the soil. When this occurs, please be prepared to separate the zombie from its head by any means possible.
