Sea Zombies are [[Obedient undead]] born of maritime disasters, spawned by a [[Jolly Roger]] or a [[Western sea vampire]], or created by a powerful necromancer. In every case the base creature was in life a sailor. They are intelligent, hateful creatures, with great strength and agility. They are difficult to turn, or rebuke, are resistant to magic, and are little harmed by piercing and bludgeoning weapons. They are associated with fog, but in fact lack a metaphysical connection to it, unlike zombies raised by [[Zombie Fog]]. They are mute and usually uncommunicative. Their stench rivals that of ghasts and their weapons drip with a poisonous ichor. Those not properly prepared to face them would be wise to run away, as the creatures are not fleet afoot.

Sea Zombies are walking dead born of maritime disasters[1][2] or spawned by Western sea vampire[3] or jolly rogers[4]. As such, the majority of the time the base creature was in life a sailor. Sea zombies are intelligent, hateful creatures[1][2], with great strength and agility.[5] They are difficult to turn, or rebuke[1][2], are resistant to magic[5], and are little harmed by piercing and bludgeoning weapons.[1][5] They are associated with fog, as they will follow it onto land.[1][2] Beyond that, they lack a metaphysical connection to it, unlike zombies raised by zombie fog. They are mute and usually uncommunicative, though sea zombie spellcasters utter verbal components in the form of incomprehensible whispers[1]. The stench of sea zombies rivals that of ghasts, and their weapons drip with a poisonous ichor.[1][2] Those not properly prepared to face them would be wise to run away, as the creatures are not fleet afoot.[1][2] Unless motivated by fog, sea zombies will not stray more than a hundred feet from the shoreline.[1][2]

Sea Zombies can be encountered in the domain of Saragoss[1][5], the Sea of Sorrows[1][5], and Souragne.[1][5] Sometimes they may serve as minions for sea hags.[6]

Certain powerful necromancers may be able to create them as well. In such cases, as with those spawned by a sea vampires and jolly rogers, the sea zombie is effectively one of the obedient dead.
