Zombies are a type of Undead creature and non-playable race found in Baldur's Gate 3. They serve as mindless foot soldiers for Necromancers after being raised from corpses.
“
Mindless remains of the dead, imbued with necromantic magic, zombies do their creator's bidding without fear or hesitation.
Zombies can be found in various locations in Act Two as well as Act Three. During Act Two, they can be encountered in the House of Healing Morgue as well as the Ancient Lair. In Act Three, they can be raised from the ground in the Graveyard.
This version of the zombie can apply Crawling Gnaw to targets it hits. When a creature dies with the Crawling Gnaw condition active, they raise as a "Newborn Zombie." A Newborn Zombie has 10 HP and takes 1Necrotic damage each turn. A Newborn Zombie otherwise has the same stats as a regular Zombie.
Due to passive Undead Fortitude, zombies will come back to life at 1 HP when killed, unless the killing blow was applied with Radiant damage or a critical hit. This often make zombies resilient to death, requiring more actions to kill.
