* In one of ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' books, Harry encounters an extremely strong ghost he calls the Nightmare, and suspects it's one of these. {{spoiler|Specifically the ghost of the demon serving the sorcerer Leonid Kravos, an old enemy of his that he'd offscreen at some point. He later learns that the ghost is Kravos himself, whose death had been concealed from him.}}
** Then there was the time when he pulled out his trump card against a necromancer [[Big Bad]]. {{spoiler|Two words: ''Zombie Tyrannosaurus.''}}
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' gives us the Others, who are humanoid enough, and their wights, who are basically their victims risen as zombies. They don't just raise humans, however, and ride horses who are described as [[Squick|having their entrails frozen to their bellies]]. And if that wasn't bad enough, the rangers at the Battle of the Fist have to deal with a [[Everything's Worse

* The [[Zombie Apocalypse]] in ''The Rising'' and ''City of the Dead'' has demonic spirits animating pretty much every corpse over a certain size, human and otherwise. Most notably, one character is killed by a zombie sewer crocodile biting his head off, [[Kill'Em All|while the last two humans are offed by zombie rats]].

** Vampire [[Cthulhumanoid|Mind Flayers]] suck blood with their tentacles. Fortunately (maybe), vampirism destroys most of their intelligence and turns them into animalistic predators. Also, alhoon are mind flayer [[Lich|liches]]. ''They'' keep all their mental faculties; [[Oh Crap|they need them for spells and psionics]].
Line 53:
* [[Warhammer 40000]] gives us the normal variant of undead, Undead Daemons created from the souls of those killed (NOT turned into the undead) by the undead plague, undead statue robots (wraithguard and wraithlords) Undead Wizard Statue Robots (Wraithseer and Warlock Titans). Undead Robots (necrons) and Undead Mecha (Dreadnoughts to a degree and Nurgle Titans). Surprisingly no Undead Dragons (then again, [[Warhammer|their fantasy counterpart]] fills in whatever holes it has).
* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' has a number of metahumans affected by HMHVV (Human Meta-Human Vampiric Virus), its equivalent of undead. They include the banshee (former elf), goblin (former dwarf), wendigo (former ork) and dzoo-noo-qua (former troll).
** It should be pointed out that HMHVV infectees are not actually undead. They are mutants, yes, but not undead. [[Magic
* In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh! card game]], there are quite a few non-human undeads, including the variants of legacy cards (i. e. Summoned Skull -> Archfiend Zombie Skull, Red Eyes Black Dragon -> Red Eyes Zombie Dragon, etc.). Early non-human cards classed as zombies included dragons, ''boats'', and clowns (what?).
* ''[[GURPS]]'' has the Zombie Vehicle spell which is designed with spaceships in mind.

Line 68:
* The humorous text-based adventure game, ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', has an undead monster in the Misspelled Cemetary area called The [[My Nayme Is|Bonerdagon]]. It's an undead dragon made of bones, but it might also be an undead dragon made of boners.
** Cthulu had a "star-spawn" named Dagon, and he was bad enough when made of terror...
* In the ''[[Super Mario]]'' series, there are various [[Non-Human Undead]] creatures. A staple of the series is the [[Dem Bones|Dry Bones]], a reanimated Koopa skeleton. The ''[[Paper Mario (

** Later on in [[World of Warcraft]], when Death Knights became playable it meant that you could have an undead version of every race: dwarves, gnomes, werewolves, goblins, elves... You could even have an [[Up to Eleven|Undead Death Knight]], meaning a human who died, was raised from the dead, then was killed and THEN risen from the dead ''again''.
* Any kind of living creature in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' can have a zombie or skeletal version, including monsters like dragons, giants, and imps.

* In ''[[Diablo]] 2'' necromancers can get the ability to animate the corpses of their enemies as they were in life instead of somehow ending up with humanoid skeletons, as happens before this.
* In ''[[Battle for Wesnoth]]'' the sprite and characteristics of a living corpse depend on who it was before death: mounted corpses move faster, gnome corpses have better defence in mountains, and so on.
* In the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series, the T-Virus infects ''everything''. Zombie dogs, birds and plants are common, and we've seen oversized mutant snakes, sharks, worms, crocodiles, lions, an ''elephant''...
