Overview
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.

Trivia
- The Japanese name of the Type is misspelled (it actually approximates to "Undeat"), as "Undead" is normally transcribed as Andeddo 「アンデッド」. Andeddo has been inconsistently used in early media, but was later standardized to Andetto for unclear reasons (possibly for the sake of consistency).
- "Shiranui Samuraisaga" was the first Zombie Synchro Monster that could be Synchro Summoned without "Plaguespreader Zombie", and that was not a Zombie counterpart.
