A zombie is an undead humanoid monster that stalks the Overworld at night.

Appearance

Zombies closely resemble the original game's mob, being a green humanoid wearing clothes similar to Steve's. However, while the game has near identical clothes between the two, in this the clothes more resemble each other at a glance. Steve wears a sweater, whereas zombies wear a conventional T-shirt, tattered and dirtied, as well as ripped jeans and gray laced shoes. The head remains a square, with short hair a step above a buzz cut, and a visibly missing nose. In place of the original's stubble is a gaping maw. Though mostly not seen throughout the film, zombies can sometimes be seen with having small light-blue eyes.

Behavior

Zombies are hostile beasts, coming out at night and hunting undefined prey. They are incredibly restless, perusing foes as far as possible and willing to tear apart their surroundings for a kill. Their hunger appears so potent that they are willing to dismember prey limb by limb, even consuming inedible matter such as wool. In spite of this perceived aggression and lack of intelligence, they are also remarkably sneaky, being able to successfully sneak up behind prey and appear in seemingly secure locations with ease. Zombies seem to feast on sheep, and tends to rip their wool.

Powers and abilities

Being undead, zombies are vulnerable to sunlight, combusting into flames upon exposure. By extension, their bodies are in poor shape and can be ripped apart, demonstrated with Steve ripping a zombie's arm off and using it as a weapon.

Biography

Following the discovery of the Earth Portal, the four misfits emerge in the Overworld. During their first night, they found themselves attacked by a horde of zombies. After surviving the encounter, the four misfits come across the character Steve. He defeats the remaining zombies at a castle as day breaks, before introducing himself to the other heroes.

Later, zombies, along with skeletons, appeared during the Great Darkening when the Piglins invaded the Overworld. However, they did not participate in the battle and they all burned to death after the Piglins’ defeat.
