* While [[Brandon Sanderson]] [[Not Using the Z Word|insists]] they aren't zombies, the Elantrians from [[Elantris]] are suffering from a sort of curse that makes them closely resemble zombies, while they are not technically dead, or actually contagious, people that live within a certain radius of the city of Elantris just randomly become Elantrians, they don't breathe or have heartbeats, they have a constant ravenous hunger, and they don't heal from their wounds at all and they are almost impossible to kill, beheading or burning being the only ways to kill them, though they usually go insane and catatonic from the pain of accumulated injuries within a year of becoming an Elantrian. |

While they are not mindless, not slow, and for that matter no different seeming then humans in just about any way(other then the fact that you cant kill them) The fact that they were once dead and have been reanimated does qualify them to be referred to as the "Living Dead"(The show itself uses the term Undead to refer to the state they live in) |

* The zombies in the Korean Web Toon ''Wake Up Deadman'' are just normal people who happen to be dead and rotting, it's the media and the government that makes them out to be a mindless cannibal hoard.
