In order to compensate for losing his left arm, Weightlifter Zombie decided to spend 100% of his time holding a barbell in his right arm.

<font color ="darkgoldenrod">Toughness: solid

<font color ="darkgoldenrod">Speed: average

<font color ="darkgoldenrod">Special: revives up to one zombie every five seconds

The first zombie was created when a Necromancer resurrected someone. That someone ate the Necromancer's brain, creating the first Necromancer Zombie.

<font color ="darkgoldenrod">Attack #6 (Bat Abduction): while flying around, some bats will fly towards plants and steal them, and each plant stolen heals the Baron

Baron Von Bats may seem like a goofy Zompire at times, but don't let that fool you. He is the most vicious bloodsucker and brain-eater ever to have lived. Well, since he's undead in two ways, I guess "lived" isn't the right word.
