6 kinds attack in the battle waves: Wild Zombie, Door Zombie, Bucket Zombie, Bloated Zombie, Spitter Zombie and Barrel Zombie
Raising a zombie
The Resurrection Table turns a corpse into a zombie when the Resurrection Device is used, and the Resurrection Lab has power for it on Envy. A successful Prayer for Storms grants God of the storms, which allows resurrection on any day while it lasts.
With all 6 vital organs: skull, brain, heart, guts, bones and skin. A Surgeon's Error in place of one also stops it
1 per zombie. Sold by Gunter and the Alchemist; alchemy formula of 2 red, 1 green, 4 blue runes, Laboratory II
Its red skull limit must be at least the corpse's red skulls. The zombie wears it
The Resurrection Device works on Envy, or on any day while God of the storms lasts
- Red skulls
- Each red skull on the corpse opens one perk slot on the zombie.
- Name
- The Resurrection window gives the zombie one of 40 names, and Roll Name draws another.
- Missing organs
- The table refuses the corpse: "This body is missing vital organs. You can't make zombies without them."
- Weak collar
- The table refuses the collar: "This Zombie Collar isn't good enough for this corpse. You need a higher-quality collar."
- New collar
- A zombie's collar can be replaced later by one with a higher red skull limit.
- Zombie count
- Each resurrection adds one zombie to the count that the zombie limit caps.

FarmingWhat zombies do
A zombie is carried to a station and put on it; the station sets its job.
Zombies craft the items queued at workbenches and furnaces, and only follow recipes that match their mastery. A station that is worked with a tool needs that tool in the zombie's hand.

Battle Ram in the Barracks unlocks the squad slots, and a squad is formed from zombies put in a slot there. Zombies only fight with armor and a pike or bow, and better equipment gives a higher defense power.
Zombie limit and the PR Machine
The zombie limit is the Resurrection Lab's quality. While the Keeper has more zombies than the limit, Excessive zombies is on: "You have too many zombies, and it's creeping people out. Your sermons are less effective." It cuts what 32 of the 58 prayer grades pay. The PR Machine raises the limit; it takes a load on Gluttony only.

For 2 weeks. Load: 10 Newspaper (any grade) and 3 Charged hypno-device. PR Machine II or higher

Zombie questions
What does a zombie need to work?
A mastery at or above the recipe's requirement, the tool the station is worked with in its hand, and materials: a Zombie Supplier Station with a zombie on it supplies the workstation zombies of its area. In the Factory, stations must also be linked by conveyor belts.
What limits the number of zombies?
The zombie limit, the Resurrection Lab's quality. Over the limit, Excessive zombies cuts what 32 of the 58 prayer grades pay. A PR Machine load on Gluttony raises the limit for 1 to 5 weeks.
How do a corpse's skulls affect the zombie?
Each red skull on the corpse opens one perk slot on the zombie, and the collar on the Resurrection Table must allow at least that many red skulls.
What does Personal Zombie Zone ask for?
Albert wants a zombie with 8 red skulls, placed in a special spot in his lab. The quest gives 2 Golden Zombie Collars and 2 Reanimation Liquids for it; a Bronze Zombie Collar stops at 5 red skulls. The zombie then no longer counts towards the zombie limit.
