Zombies (ゾンビ) are living dead creatures that appear in the Dragon Ball series.

Overview

Two of the living dead appear among Fortuneteller Baba's fighters, Fangs the Vampire and Bandages the Mummy. In Dragon Ball Z, Zombies are seen in the Other World, in the café where the Guide who took Goku to the start of the Snake Way meets Fortuneteller Baba in order to give her Goku's message for Master Roshi (which reaches him via Kami and Yajirobe). The other customers in the café are various yokai (Japanese monsters); such as tengu, yuki-onna, yama-warau, mikoshi-nyudo, and meihitotsubou.

In the movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, Zombies attack Satan City. They appeared among the living as a result of the Evil Containment tanks shattering from being overfilled in Hell, resulting in the creation of Janemba. Videl and Gohan, who is wearing his Great Saiyaman outfit, fought them immediately before Frieza and his henchmen. Mr. Satan is also seen beating up walking skeletons and zombies. Some of them are seen riding horses at the beginning of the movie and some other are members of the Dictator's army.

Although most of the Zombies attempted to harm everyone, there were a few who were quite benign. For instance, a grandpa, who was confused about his coming back from the dead, did not hurt his family, and a woman named Juliet was presumably not going to hurt Romeo.

Zombies and other monsters appear briefly in Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon, when Krillin is looking far a Dragon Ball in an amusement park.
