Armoured zombies are level 82 undead found in Zemouregal's Base during the quest Defender of Varrock. They are notable for their unique drop, the broken zombie axe. As they reside in a multicombat area and spawn in close proximity to each other, they can be attacked with multi-hitting weapons such as burst spells and the venator bow as an effective training method. After defeating armoured zombies, a red mist will linger around and the message A strange red mist rises from the dying zombie. will be displayed. Besides bottling it during the Defender of Varrock quest, it has no uses or effects and presents no harm to the player.

Being an undead creature, all variants of the Salve amulet will have their undead bonus apply when attacking armoured zombies. However, when using multicombat styles, the effect only applies to the targeted zombie.

The number of Armoured zombies significantly increases after completion of the quest Defender of Varrock. The zombie axe is still obtainable from the armoured zombies during the quest, so full completion of Defender of Varrock is not required.
