Zombie

Zombies are a very common enemy seen in many games from the Castlevania series, and are usually the first enemies encountered in almost any of the games.

Overview
These armies of undead corpses rise from the ground and slowly meander towards any heroes that might be nearby. Zombies are mindless slaves of the dread Count Dracula and constitute a majority of his undead army.Because of the fact that they wear cloaks in most games they look like the monsters in altered beast in the first level.

Types
Aside from the average "Run-of-the-Mill" zombie, there are other kinds which have appeared in various putrid and deadly forms.


 * Bloody Zombie
 * Dead Crusader
 * Dead Mate
 * Dead Pirate
 * Dead Warrior
 * Evil Butcher
 * Flying Zombie
 * Ghoul
 * Grave Keeper
 * Melty Zombie
 * Scarecrow
 * Wight
 * Zombie Officer
 * Zombie Soldier

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
One of the more unique aspects of zombies in this game is that when dealt damage by fire, the flesh comes off, turning the zombie into a Skeleton!

In addition, killing enough Zombies in one area will make a Wight appear.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
As usual, these enemies are pretty harmless on their own. In this game, they appear in the Monastery & Ruvas Forest levels. Oddly enough, the Necromancer enemy can summon up these enemies, and by stealing their glyph, you can summon up Zombies to fight with you.

An interesting study with this enemy has proven successful. In the Monastery level, if you stand on a platform in a room where Zombies continuously spawn & activate one of your familiar spirits, the spirit will go after the Zombies. If you leave the game on overnight (make sure it is NOT asleep) & in a charger, by the time you wake up, your familiar spirit will have leveled up to the max level. However, this does not work with the Polkir & Gorgon Head familiars.

Castlevania: Judgment
Zombies appear in Judgement as normal enemies. All must be defeated in a level to fight the Minotaur.

Castlevania: The Arcade
Zombies are raised from the ground by Death in the Ruins.
