'''Zombie''' (Japanese: アンデット ''Andetto'', lit. "Undead") is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card|monster]] representing undead beings, including mummies, skeletons, and ghosts. Initially, their focus was on swarming the field from the [[Graveyard]] with cards such as "[[Mezuki]]", "[[Zombie Master]]", and "[[Book of Life]]". Since most Zombie monsters have low DEF (frequently 0), many high-[[Level]] Zombie monsters could be Summoned with "[[Pyramid Turtle]]". However, with the release of "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]", one of the first [[Tuner monster]]s that could [[Special Summon]] themself and several [[Synchro Monster]]s that required "Plaguespreader" as [[Synchro Material]], Zombies began to focus on [[Synchro Summon]]ing, culminating in the "[[Shiranui]]" archetype in ''[[Breakers of Shadow]]''.
==Overview==Zombies also have two of their own [[Structure Deck]]s: represent undead beings, including mummies, skeletons, vampires, ''[[Structure Deck: Zombie Madness|Zombie Madness]]yokai'' , biologically-infected humans and ''[[Structure Deck: Undead World|Undead World]]''/''[[Zombie World Structure Deck|Zombie World]]''animals, ghosts, and of course, zombies.
Zombie archetypes and series include "[[Burning Skull]]"Gameplay-wise, "Zombies are heavily associated with the [[VendreadGraveyard]]"; many Zombie effects and Zombie support involve sending Zombies from the Deck to the GY, "[[Vampire]]"summoning Zombies from the GY, or banishing Zombies from the GY for other effects. Many Zombie monsters have effects that implicitly relate them to "[[WightZombie World]]", "[[Ghostrick]]"usually involving affecting the opponent's Zombie monsters on their field or in their GY, which "[[Shiranui]]", and "[[Dark Mummy]]Zombie World"can set up; summoning monsters from the opponent's GY is also a somewhat common pattern among Zombie effects.
There Zombies are also several mostly either [[Zombie counterpartEARTH]]s of other cards, notably "or [[Revived King Ha DesDARK]]", "-[[Doomkaiser DragonAttribute]]", and "usually have low [[Archfiend Zombie-SkullDEF]]". A common theme among Zombie counterparts is that they have the same stats as the original monster (in the case of "Dark Ruler", even having The type also has a similar effect tailored to suit the monster's new Type). Most early Zombie Synchros need "Plaguespreader Zombie" as their Tuner. With the release of ''focus on [[Generation ForceSynchro Summon]]'', "[[Pain Painter]]" can be used as a substitute for "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]"ing, with many its key playmakers and can sometimes be more powerful. Also released in ''Generation Force'' was "[[Blue-Blooded Oni]]", which goes hand-in-hand with "[[Red-Blooded Oni]]" from ''[[Galactic Overlord]]''. These two boss monsters work with being [[Xyz Monster]]s, detaching [[Xyz Material]] from [[Xyz MonsterTuner]]s both you and your opponent controls when they are Summoned. Based on their own effects, they could be run as a pair in any deck by themselves if the focus is Xyz Monsters. "[[Number 22: Zombiestein]]" was the first Zombie Xyz Monster to be released in the ''OCG''. It packs a large ATK, 4500, the largest [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] of all Zombies, and currently the strongest member of the very large "[[Number]]" archetype in terms of ATK value. However, it is also a [[Nomi]] monster, unable to be Summoned other ways aside from Xyz Summon, so it cannot be easily revived like all the other Zombies. As mentioned at the beginning, in the ''OCG'' Zombies are called simply ''Undead'', although close examination shows that it is actually spelled as ''Undeat''. This probably resulted from staff from [[Konami]] mistakenly printing 「アンデッ'''ト'''」 instead of 「アンデッ'''ド'''」 on every Zombie card in [[Vol.1]]Synchro monsters, and was settled as so when "[[Zombie Warrior|Undea'''t''' Warrior]]" was later released in [[Vol.2]]respectively.
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]'', Zombies are treated as [[Fiend]] monsters.
Zombie monsters are used by [[Bonz]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']]Of particular note, the [[CamulaYokai]] in Type from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', [[Hunter Pace]] and [[Haley]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', [[Flip Turner]] (as part of a [[Flip monstermanga)|Flip monster]] Deck) in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXALGX]]'', [[Tony Zomboni]] manga are all turned into Zombies when they were released in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]OCG'', and [[Kyoko Taki]] (as fodder for a [[Virus]] Deck) in /''[[ Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]TCG''proper.

==Strength and WeaknessesAppearance in media ==Depending on the type of Deck its strength can vary, but The following characters use Zombie monsters across the overall power of a ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'Zombie Deck''' remains: its ability to quickly swarm the field with monsters (it is not uncommon to clog up one's entire Monster Cards zone in one turn) and gaining quite powerful draw power through "[[Allure of Darkness]]" and/or "[[Shutendoji]]"franchise.
Excluding the Zombie Mill variant, however, a Zombie Deck has some weaknesses. The most notable weakness of the Deck is its dependence on the Graveyard. While the extreme swarming capabilities of the Deck can overcome the aforementioned lack of sheer power, cards like {| style="[[Macro Cosmos]]width:100%"| style=", vertical-align:top"|=== Manga ===; ''[[Dimensional FissureYu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]", "''* [[D.D. CrowGhost Kozuka (manga)|Ghost Kozuka]]", and nearly every other card that can * [[banishDark Bakura (manga)|Dark Bakura]] monsters or lock the Graveyard can effectively put a Zombie player at a severe disadvantage, if not outright disrupt one; ''s strategy and cause the loss of a duel. "[[Burial from a Different DimensionYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]" and "''* [[Imperial Iron WallSkeleton Knight]]" can help to partially solve the problem (though the latter keeps "; ''[[Plaguespreader ZombieYu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]" in the game, it makes "''* [[MezukiTokunosuke Hyori (manga)|Tokunosuke Hyori]]" and "* [[Book of LifeCologne]]" completely useless). In other words, the banish Deck can be the worst enemy for zombies because the cards that target the Graveyard are totally useless. But the Zombie Deck has another weakness in cards like "* [[The End of AnubisKyoji Yagumo]]| style=" that disable your [[Graveyard]], or cards like "[[Vanity's Fiend]]width:50%" that don't allow you to perform [[Special Summon]]s.|
"=== Anime ===; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''* [[Bonz]]* [[Yami Bakura]]* [[Duke Devlin]]; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''* [[Camula]]* [[BanishAbidos the Third]]" oriented decks and "; ''[[GravekeeperYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]" decks stand as direct opposition of what Zombie decks stand for. "''* [[Hunter Pace]]* [[Haley]]; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''* [[Flip Turner]]; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''* [[Tony Zomboni]]; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]''* [[Klarissa Turner]]* [[NecrovalleyRidley]]" is an extremely devastating card that can put any deck at a disadvantage, but none more so than Zombies; it essentially puts the Graveyard off limits (as well as making "Mezuki" useless in the Graveyard)''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''* [[Toombs]]* [[D.K.]]; ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]''* [[Fisher Sukai]]|}
Another weakness is ==Icons==These are icons used to represent the fact that Zombies tend to have low [[ATK]] power for their level, compared to other [[Zombie Type]]s (Examples include "[[Il Blud]]" and "[[Vampire Lord]]"). This can severely hamper a Zombie Deck player if his/her opponent uses high [[DEF]] monsters to stall the gamein various video games. There are They all depict a few cards that can help counteract this problem, most notably "[[Burden of the Mighty]]"skull or skeleton, "[[Solidarity]]" and "[[Pyramid of Wonders]]". The final, "[[Temple of the Sun]]", is a slightly more situational card that still would sit rather well in a Deck focused on Graveyard poweroften with one eye socket glowing red.

Zombie Decks got a boost from the release ==Trivia==* The Japanese name of the [[Xyz Monster]]s in the ''[[TCG]]'', this Type is because of the great number of level four Zombies such as misspelled (it actually approximates to "[[Goblin Zombie]]Undeat" and "[[Zombie Master]]". However), the effect of as "Goblin ZombieUndead" will not activate when it is detached, because Xyz Material are not considered normally transcribed as being ''Anded'''do''''' 「アンデッド」. ''Andeddo'' has been inconsistently used in play. Along with new support such as "[[Blueearly ''Yu-Gi-Blooded Oni]]" and the likeOh!'' media, players can pull off some good combos but was later standardized to ''Andetto'' for unclear reasons (possibly for the [[Type]]sake of consistency).
