Zombie

A secondary undead, created by a Vampire who dons the Stone Mask, is commonly referred in part I and II as a Zombie (屍生人(ゾンビ), Zonbi, lit. "Undead Person"); "Undead" (亡者(アンデッド), Andeddo) is also sometimes used. Anything from long-buried corpses to hybridized organisms can be made into a zombie. Those who have their blood sucked by a vampire (and infected with a vampiric extract) are turned into zombies who don't feel pain. Skilled Hamon users are able to reject this process.

While the zombies found in Part I: Phantom Blood were typically lesser beings that had no special vampire abilities, including the ability to regenerate, the discrepancy between the two is much more vague in Part's II and III. Their physical strength and speed is nonetheless greatly enhanced.

As lesser beings, the majority of zombies base their methods of attack on their lives as humans, making each unique and unpredictable. Zombies are known for having a rotting stench and a monster-like appearance. Most of them, however, hide their true appearance through disguises (like Adams and Doobie).

The Blood Vessel Needle Attack may be their primary ability, as at least four individuals were capable of using it. It consists of small antennas coming out of their heads capable of sucking the blood of their victims.
