The term Zombie refers to a creature in Neopia (usually a Neopet or Petpet) which bares resemblance to or is a Zombie. On Neopets, Zombies existed since at least October 15, 2001 when NeoQuest I featured zombified characters, and introduced as an actual colour on October 25, 2007. A Zombie Petpet Paint Brush has also been anonnced.
Overview
Zombified creatures in Neopia walk around moaning about Brains and are believed to be indulge in the grey matter's consumption... behind closed doors, of course. It's a theory that has no textual backing, but the silence may just be The Neopets Team's way of keeping Neopets a bright and cheery place (on the surface).
Zombies are one of the many pop culture references The Neopets Team places into the game. Their hopping on the zombie bandwagon can be seen in Neopian Times editorial #158, where they claim to dress as Zombies. It's also interesting to note that the staff is said to have met the director of Shaun of the Dead.
