The undead are considerably more durable to physical attacks in the eighth entry of the series, taking only 70% damage from even fully tensioned characters. This is thanks to an effect tag worked into the game's programming, and cannot be negated. The [[Zombiesbane]] deals only 30% more damage this time around. However, it can be improved through alchemy to become the [[Zombiesbane|Zombie Slayer]], which deals 60% more damage. The affects of Pearly Gates remain the same.

Zombie family (Japanese Katakana: ゾンビ Romanji: Zonbi Zombie) refers to the type of monsters Dragon Quest series. A staple of role playing games the world over, the Zombie family includes animated corpses, skeletons, angry spirits, and even fallen priests. Starting with DQIII, the undead have been assigned extra damage tags that activate when the appropriate weapon strikes them.

Monster classification is still not a part of the game's coding, but this entry is notable for introducing players to the staple monsters Walking Corpse and Spirit, as well as their many pallet swaps.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III
