Gameplay-wise, Zombies are heavily associated with the [[Graveyard]]; many Zombie effects and Zombie support involve sending Zombies from the Deck to the GY, summoning Zombies from the GY, or banishing Zombies from the GY for other effects. Many Zombie monsters have effects that implicitly relate them to "[[Zombie World]]", usually involving affecting the opponent's Zombie monsters on their field or in their GY, which "Zombie World" can set up; summoning monsters from the opponent's GY is also a somewhat common pattern among Zombie effects.

'''Zombie''' monsters represent undead beings, mostly mummies or apparitions. They are perhaps the best sub-type at [[Swarm]]ing the field. Zombie monsters are known for having many cards that revive other zombies, most notable [[Zombie Master]], [[Il Blud]], [[Mezuki]] and [[Book of Life]]. Because of that most players add 2 copies of [[Card of Safe Return]]  to Zombie Decks. They are usually [[Dark]] monsters, although a noticable number are [[Earth]]. Zombie monsters often have low [[DEF]], a factor that works in their favor, since [[Pyramid Turtle]] and [[Goblin Zombie]] can search out high-level monsters with low DEF quickly.  Aside from being able to be summoned or revived quickly, a common theme among them are card effects that mill the opponent's deck, and a few of them counter mill or [[Hand destruction]] tactics themselves (such as [[Despair from the Dark]]). They also have field control abilities from Zombie-[[Type]] [[Synchro]] monsters, focusing on tuning with [[Plaguespreader Zombie]].

A recurring aesthetic theme among many Zombies and Zombie support cards is that of Ancient Egypt, such as [[Pyramid Turtle]], [[Tutan Mask]], and [[Spirit of the Pharaoh]].  Though the Ancient Egyptian theme occurs elsewhere in OCG/TCG cards, it tends to be the most prevalent among Zombies. There are also several Zombie Counterparts, notably the recently released [[Revived King Ha Des]] and [[Doomkaiser Dragon]]. A common theme among Zombie Counterparts is that the Zombie would have no DEF, but would otherwise be statistically identical to the monster (in the case of Dark Ruler, even having a similar effect tailored to suit the monster's new type). Exodia Necross, while not technically a zombie, is considered the undead version of Exodia, notably because the method of summoning it, as well as it's appearance and name hints at it. Exodia Necross also possess no DEF, a trait of Zombie Counterparts.

This probably resulted from staff from [[Konami]] mistakingly printing 「アンデッ'''ト'''」 instead of 「アンデッ'''ド'''」 on every Zombie card in [[Vol.1]], and came into the spotlight when [[Zombie Warrior|Undea'''t''' Warrior]] was released in [[Vol.2]].

For the card, see Zombie (card).
Doomking Balerdroch
"Doomking Balerdroch", a Zombie monster.

Zombie (Japanese: アンデット Andetto, lit. "Undead") is a Type of Monster Cards.

Overview[edit]

Zombies represent undead beings, including mummies, skeletons, vampires, yokai, biologically-infected humans and animals, ghosts, and of course, zombies.

Gameplay-wise, Zombies are heavily associated with the Graveyard; many Zombie effects and Zombie support involve sending Zombies from the Deck to the GY, summoning Zombies from the GY, or banishing Zombies from the GY for other effects. Many Zombie monsters have effects that implicitly relate them to "Zombie World", usually involving affecting the opponent's Zombie monsters on their field or in their GY, which "Zombie World" can set up; summoning monsters from the opponent's GY is also a somewhat common pattern among Zombie effects.

Zombies are mostly either EARTH or DARK-Attribute, and usually have low DEF. The type also has a focus on Synchro Summoning, with many its key playmakers and boss monsters being Tuners and Synchro monsters, respectively.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, Zombies are treated as Fiend monsters.

Of particular note, the Yokai Type from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga are all turned into Zombies when they were released in the OCG/TCG proper.
