List of Zombies

"Nothing can erase my pain."

This article requires cleaning up to conform to a higher standard of quality.

Zombies are numerous undead specimens and people. They are corpses resurrected by the mystery compound used by Dr. Roy Curien and many others. Though the bestiary changes for the most part as the games go on, a few types of zombies managed to make it through most (if not all) the game, like Kageo, Ebitan, murrers, bats, and Johnny. Otherwise, basic appearance and weaponry templates have been used throughout the series to make new creations, like the plain common zombies, the crawling and jumping zombies, and the infamous chainsaw and buzz-saw zombies.

He wears dog tags around his neck, military pants and boots which are identical to those worn by the Rogan Commandos, singlets which are torn at the bottom and fingerless gloves. The four differences of his pants is the lack of knee pads, the left side being intact (with the exception of the chapter 0 commando), the case attached on the right side and the pants not being folded in military style. He acts very similar to Azteca and uses four types of attacks. The first attack is to throw objects such as monitors or water drums.

Cain: Cain is a mutant zombie who looks like Mark I or III, but has plant-like features like arms in the form of vines.

Julie: Undeadbuilding employee or scientist. It is strange that he has a feminine name, despite looking and sounding male, perhaps it can be a mistake.

The House of the Dead: Overkill

Unlike the first four installments, the cast of zombies - or "mutants" as they're called in this game - almost completely consist of the zombified/mutated/infected residents of Bayou City rather than duplicates of the same reanimated corpses. THis is also the first HotD game to feature female zombies. These zombies range from common civilians, hospital workers, clowns, prison inmates, and law enforcers, varying from location to location. They are armed with knives, hammers, axes, sickles, saws, bottles, riot sticks and shields (police mutants/zombies only), their bare hands, body parts of dead mutants/zombies, and even their own bodies (Pukers only).

Commoners: Once innocent townsfolk, these creatures are now affected by undeath.

1. Cade: He is the first zombie in a blue polo shirt and he wants to jump over the kitchen table.

2. Luke: He is the second zombie in a red plaid polo shirt. But he wants to eat him.

3. Bret: He is the third zombie in a green polo shirt and he wants to attack the people.

4. Leslie: She is the fourth zombie in a lavender t shirt. She is running over you.

5. Owen: He is the fifth zombie in a orange plaids and blue flannel lined jeans and he is coming over you.

Rage Mutants: Strong Mutants that run towards you and grab you. In the PS3 version, they are defeated by target shooting, and killed by an environmental weapon. In the Wii version, you must push them back or get bitten. Wrestling with them is only avoidable in the Wii version. They have a barcode tattooed in a pectoral and orange pants meaning they were inmates or test subjects of Formula X.
Pukers: Mutants with bloated bellies that puke acid on you or explode. Do not shoot if they are close in the Wii version, you will be given a chance to wrestle with them. The description and behavior of the Pukers is similar to that of the Boomer series in Left 4 Dead. These mutants are filled with pus, acid, and blood. They can also accidentally harm other mutants.
Spawnlings: Mutant babies who can crawl on the walls and attack by leaping at their prey head-on.
Strippers: (Extended Cut only) "Entertainers" that worked in the Pink Pussycat.
