Zombies Usually a soulless, animate corpse. The zombie is usually controlled by an entity other than the zombie, called the Zombie Master. If the zombie is a corpse it may seek to eat human flesh. If a zombie is a corpse it is pretty much indestructible, and only the Zombie Master can stop it. Alternately, a zombie is not a corpse, but a living person under a spell, also controlled by a Zombie Master. Sometimes associated with Vodun Black Magic. If the Zombie Master is practicing Vodun they could also be called a Bokor. In some instances the Zombie may not be under a spell, but instead drugged by the Zombie Master.
