Zombies are generic monsters found throughout Gielinor, often located in cemeteries, sewers, and dungeons. They count as undead and are weak to the effects of both the Salve amulet and the Crumble Undead spell.

Most common zombies are low-leveled, hence serving as a decent training method for low-level players. Many locations have distinct zombie variants that have different combat levels, drops, and appearances.

Variants

Variant	Level
Zombie (Entrana Dungeon)	25
Zombie (Kourend)	56, 70, 72, 76
Zombie (Melzar's Maze)	24
Zombie (Sepulchre of Death)	159
Zombie (Shayzien Crypts)	132
Zombie (Stronghold of Security)	30, 44, 53
Zombie (Tarn's Lair)	40-100
Zombie (Temple Trekking)	23
Zombie (Wilderness)	18, 24
Zombie (Zogre Flesh Eaters)	39
