Unlike the zombies you find in movies, these high-functioning zombies don't crave your brains (despite what they might be compelled to say sometimes).<br>
It's perfectly possible to coexist with these zombies, though understanding their slurring speech might drive some to wish it wasn't.

'''Benefits'''
* Don't need to breathe.
* Can survive in extreme pressures.
* Immune to cold.
* Have no blood to lose.
* Are immune to the effects of radiation.
* Can attach limbs from the ground without surgery.
* Immune to [[Changeling]] transmutation stings.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Loses limbs easily.
* Hard to understand.
* Ugly.
* Tends to be confused with the infectious kind of zombie.

'''Where to find them:'''
* With [[wizard|wizards]], on the station on Halloween.

===={{anchor|Romerol Zombies}}Romerol Zombies====
[[File:zombies.png]]

Rotted remains of former humans, brought way less back to life. Unlike the zombies you find in Xenobiology, Romerol zombies aren't just a human mutation.<br>
They are aggressive by nature, and spread an infection when hitting other humanoids, causing them to turn into Romerol zombies on death.

They also won't stay dead as long as the infection is active and their head is intact: to stop them permanently, the body must be destroyed or beheaded, or the infection must be surgically removed.<br> 
If this does not happen, the zombie will revive at full health after some time.

The infection is concentrated in a tumor located in the brain. Should this tumor be removed surgically, the body will revert to a normal corpse, which can then be cloned.

'''Benefits'''
* Same as regular zombies.
* Strong claws that can even punch through airlocks.
* Revives after death unless decapitated or gibbed.
* Quickly heals wounds.
* Can see in the dark.
* Turn other species into romerol zombies on death.

'''Drawbacks'''
* Slow movement.
* Can only use claws to smash.
* (Rightfully) feared and hunted by crewmembers.

'''Where to find them:'''
* On the station, after traitors team up to buy [[Syndicate_Items#Romerol|Romerol]] or get lucky with a [[Syndicate_Items#Syndicate_Surplus_Crate|surplus crate]].
