'Highly hostile, controlled by Michael himself, don't get hit and you will be fine'
The Zombie is the main enemy of the game. They will relentlessly pursue players across the map and attempt to kill all of them. They will spawn outside of the playable area.
Zombies[]
Zombies deals ~50 DMG to the player. They have a fast strike speed and when a player gets surrounded, they will be downed by just 2-3 hits from the zombie without Juggernog.
They take the appearance of a Blocky Robloxian with similar height to the player, their skin color has changed to dark blue. They were believed to be humans who previously died in Michael's games and is directly controlled by Michael himself.
Their appearance is affected by the map the player played but will always retain the dark blue skin tone with a bloody maw.
Scaling[]
As the rounds progress, the zombies that the player face becomes more and more powerful. Zombies gain more health, faster movement speeds, and grow in numbers.
Zombies spawn with increasing amounts of health depending on the round number.
Zombies start at 150 health points in the first round. For the first nine rounds, the health pools of zombies are increased by a flat 100 hit points each round.
On round ten and onwards, their health points increase by 10% instead. While 10% may not seem like a massive difference at first, the growth is exponential and zombies start to increase in health at an accelerating rate.
Zombies spawned in Joe's Gun Game is an exception, their health has been permanently locked at 100

- Zombies will start to walk faster each round
- If a player gets surrounded, the player can jump on top of the zombie's head and escape the horde
- Zombies can also be killed through wall / ceiling / ground by either projectiles or melee
- The health of ice waste lander zombie in Michael Barrel is not affected by the round number and always has the default 150 health, they are very likely to drop max ammo power up during the Snowfella boss fight.
