Forum:Any "zombie" type aliens?

I was just wondering if there were any "zombie" like aliens (I don't mean the nanobot mutation as seen in the Empty Child) or an alien that would take over dead human bodies (other than the remaining gasseous Gelth).


 * I can't think of any zombie-like creatures. I can think of a few which could make zombie-like creatures, I suppose. Let's see...
 * The Xhinn used a chemical to reanimate dead humans.
 * The Darkness could use the corpses of humans to talk for them.
 * The Osirians could reanimated people (at least Sutekh and Nephthys could).
 * That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Why do you ask? --

The Pyrovile looked like a zombie. The evil dudeArnie 19:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I was just wondering because I recently saw the first episode with Martha Jones and the Doctor and the alien was sort of a "vampire" and that made me think of the werewolf back at the Torchwood house with Queen Victoria and that wandering just made me think zombies. That lead me to the gas-mask zombies back in the World War II, first meeting Cptn. Jack, but it didn't seem zombie-ish enough for me. Well, thank you for the help on satiating a passing fancy.

There was also the humans on New Earth that were created by the cat nuns to create their vaccines. They were pretty zombie like, though not aliens.Drscompanion2 21:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Love and War had people resurrected from the dead (not mindless flesh-eaters) and White Darkness had, literally, zombies in the Haitian Voodoo sense. (well, one, anyway. I only read that years ago.) AFAIK, actual George Romero zombies haven't appeared in the Doctor Who Universe.
