Zombies are usually a goodie. People who haven't played before already know what they are, instead of being like, I know nothing of the threat of this big floaty eyeball thing. 

 Yea but they’re good turned bad (usually

stay her

With many other unintelligent undead are considered unaligned (even Strahd’s zombies are unaligned), why’s the normal zombie considered NE? (considering many monsters in MotM got a bit of a cleanup, many being changed to “Typically X”; I don’t think changing zombies to Unaligned would’ve damaged any long-standing lore)

i figured it out

"if you figgure this out i will be proud"

your welcome

Could I zombify, say, just a hand? It would just act as a limp floating appendage that follows me around and can use some sort of scratch move.

Using animate dead, could I make it happen?

Is there any version of a zombie that can infect others and make them zombies to? I would love to surprise my group with some.

 i think one of the critical role books has one

in the DMG, near the bottom of the dungeon masters workshop theres an NPC templates table that includes listings for skeletons and zombies

zombie

and skeleton

its a really useful table for making NPCs and changing the races of existing NPCs

What's confusing about it? Zombies don't stop when you hit them.

Why can't it turn other things into Zombies?

you know, in real life, zombies wouldn't be able to withstand having a pebble thrown at them.

 They can be stronger than you think...

Makes a nice health battery for a necromancer if they cast Vampiric Touch, and you can even get some extra juice out of them due to undead fortitude.

I like the diversification  the zombie offers.  Especially at DC20 where they start to regenerate. Regenderation makes it a whole new ballgame with zombies the party has already beaten or creatures defeated being reanimated to rid the dungeon of its intruders, it would be appropriate to add a few of these critters back into current encounters just to remind the party that they too are prey.

what is the best way to get rid for a horde of them other than fireball I already used that

Im confused is the undead a race or not? I just joined the dnd community and im lost.

are you proud?

 RAW, no. But you could look at the Crawling Claw stat block.

Bruh. How do you lose to two zombies? I would like a recap of what exactly your party did to die to these things. I ran a campaign with a grim reaper as a boss, he summoned 4 zombois, and a level 1 party beat them. 

these balls of shit sucks
