History Main / AttractiveZombie

* Rottytops from ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' is drawn in the same cute anime girl style as the rest of the female cast (albeit with green skin and a stapled on arm).

* Episode "New Year's Day" of antology horror series ''Series/FearItself'' has one, once we learn that [[spoiler:Helen (played by Briana Evigan) was a zombie all along]].

* Julie (played by Melinda Clarke) in ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDead3'' remains as attractive as when she was alive (albeit turning more "dominatrix-like") as the LoveStory plot is crucial to the plot. Even prompting a [[AttemptedRape rape attempt]] from one of the villains.

SisterTrope to SeductiveMummy, and frequently overlaps with BoyMeetsGhoul. Compare with VampiresAreSexGods, HornyDevils, CuteMonsterGirl, and YouSexyBeast. If he or she was brought back to life by a single burning purpose, like vengeance or love, it is also RevenantZombie.

* As the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Orphnochs]] of Series/KamenRiderFaiz are zombies (specifically the RevenantZombie kind) by their very nature, every single one counts, though that's due to being able to alternate between their human and monster appearances. Especially true of the main Orphnoch cast, including [[spoiler: the titular Rider and hero himself]].

* The undead girl Tuanne from "Conan the Defiant", one of ''Literature/ConanTheBarbarian'' novels; Conan even has a brief intercourse with her.

* The {{RevenantZombie}}s from Amy Plum's ''Revenant'' series are all quite attractive, and the heroine has a romance with one of them, namely Vincent.

SisterTrope to SeductiveMummy, and frequently overlaps with BoyMeetsGhoul. Compare with VampiresAreSexGods, HornyDevils, CuteMonsterGirl, and YouSexyBeast. Often overlaps with RevenantZombie, when the zombie in question retains its human intellect and personality.

* The protagonist of ''Film/WarmBodies'', who has a romantic relationship with a human girl.

* In ''Literature/AmericanGods'', the protagonist's wife Laura is resurrected as this; she rots severely by the end, unfortunately.

* On ''Series/{{iZombie}}'', zombies in general, as long as they're able to keep their minds, look like ordinary people with pale skin and hair. Most choose to disguise themselves with cosmetics. Liv doesn't, but once she gets over being a zombie, it hasn't really affected her dating life; one of her boyfriends tells her she pulls off the zombie look.

* The protagonist of ''Film/WarmBodies'', who has a romantic relationship with a human girl.

* Ayumu from ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' has at least five girls in love with him (only one of which doesn't know that he's a member of the undead).
[[AC:{{Manga}}]]
* Several characters in ''Manga/{{Cinderalla}}'' qualify. Cinderalla's father becomes a zombie and marries another zombie who has two zombie daughters. And Cinderalla herself falls in love with a zombie singer, and needs a spell to transform herself into a zombie in order to be allowed to attend one of his performances.

Unlike ghosts and vampires who were often romanticised and portrayed as humanlike in many aspects, zombies were traditionally depicted as ugly, mindless and carnivorous. The reason for this lies in the concept of zombie originating from [[HollywoodVoodoo Caribbean voodoo]], in which they were corpses reanimated by a magician and subjected to his will, devoid of their own will and personality. Moreover, the idea of a zombie horde threating the existence of human civilization is rooted in the European colonists' perception of the Haitian revolution; therefore the modern zombie genre clishes have colonial origins.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Xombie}}'' has Nephthys, a SeductiveMummy who is the resident MrsFanservice in the show.

SisterTrope to SeductiveMummy, and frequently overlaps with BoyMeetsGhoul. Compare with VampiresAreSexGods, HornyDevils, CuteMonsterGirl, and YouSexyBeast. May also overlap with TheRevenant, when the zombie in question is driven by a single burning purpose.

This trope only applies when the said zombie is described as attractive and/or as a romantic interest to humans '''in-universe'''. When the character is not intended to be seen in such way, and only some fans believe him/her to be attractive, this is {{YMMV}}, and does not qualify.
