- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic III. For other uses, see zombie.
The zombie is the upgrade to the walking dead, the second-tier creature of the Necropolis faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can be recruited from the upgraded graveyard.
Walking Dead and Zombies are magically animated corpses. Zombies have a 20% chance to cause disease in creatures they attack. Diseased creatures have their attack and defense ratings reduced by two for a period of three rounds.OffBck
With more hit points and higher speed, and a Disease ability that lowers the target's attack and defense by two points, the zombie is a good improvement on the walking dead, but it's still better suited for defensive use than offenses.
Notes[]
- Straker is a specialist in zombies, and gives them +1 to Attack and Defense per hero level after second level. These creatures also get +1 to Speed.
