* Subverted in ''Literature/TheDraculaTape'', in which the Count indeed claims to be literally fearless (if, as he also admits, not necessarily ''brave'')...but gives credit for that to simply having already used up a lifetime's supply of fear while in Turkish captivity in his still-breathing youth, not to his later undead status.

* Varies in ''WarhammerDarkOmen''. Zombies are easy to throw into panic, and doing so breaks the necromancer's hold over them and return them to the grave. Ghouls no longer fall apart but they are still quite cowardly. Wights, wraiths and mummies can ''theoretically'' be scared, but good luck with that. "True" skeletons are not only completely fearless but also strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

* In ''Literature/TheDeathGateCycle'', there are two kinds of undead--Cadavers (who are unable to properly perceive anything) and lazar (which are sentient). Both are completely fearless--cadavers because they are barely aware of what's going on around them, and lazar because they are aware of the agony of their undead condition and know for a fact that nothing is worse. Fireballs, sword thrusts, decapitation, arrows through the heart--none of it matters to something that's that far beyond our meager understanding of "pain".

* In ''Literature/TheDeathGateCycle'', there are two kinds of undead--Cadavers (which are nearly mindless) and lazar (which are sentient). Both are completely fearless--cadavers because they are barely aware of what's going on around them, and lazar because they are aware of the agony of their undead condition and know for a fact that nothing is worse. Fireballs, sword thrusts, decapitation, arrows through the heart--none of it matters to something that's that far beyond our meager understanding of "pain".
** The cadavers aren't exactly mindless, their minds have just gotten stuck to the moment of their death, and they can't learn anything new, and are inclined to return to whatever they were doing just before their death, unless somebody constantly keeps an eye on them. They're essentially dementia patients taken up to eleven.

Zombies never get scared however, so at the disastrous Battle Of Yonkers, when the US Air Force lets out some DeathFromAbove that would make any normal enemy run for the hills, the zombies keep coming, which begins breaking the will of the ''troops on the ground'', turning the battle into a massacre... of the US Army.
