20Sometimes the ZombieApocalypse, not unlike the bird flu, can carry to other species than just humans.
21
22Yes, occasionally even dead animals can be revived into shambling monstrosities after human flesh. This can reach such levels of ridiculousness as (as suggested by the title) [[FoodEatsYou meat animating itself and moving around]].
23
24In video games, these animals are often also an example of NightOfTheLivingMooks, but not always.
25
26In works where zombie humans have ZombieGait, animals almost never move slower. If anything, they might even get a speed or strength ''bonus''. Can in some cases be justified when zombification reduces brain function, as it takes more dexterity for a biped to run without falling over. Can also be justified in that the zombie plague causes the higher brain functions to cease, while the animal part of the brain keeps functioning. If the subject's already an animal, then there's no hindrance. Likewise, the fact that zombies don't get tired may work in a reanimated animal's favor, as many living carnivores are sprinters, unable to sustain high speeds for long.
27
28A specific form of animal zombies are [[TaxidermyTerror living taxidermied animals]]. They're a mummy variant.
29
30See also NonHumanUndead for non-humanoid undead other than normal animals, and {{Dracolich}} for zombie dragons specifically. Sister trope to GhostlyAnimals. Super trope to UndeadFossils, where the animals in question are prehistoric. For actually raising animals ''to turn into steaks'', see LetsMeetTheMeat.

32----
33!!Normal zombie examples:
34
35[[foldercontrol]]
36
37[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
38* ''Manga/TheArmsPeddler'': Garami's cart is pulled by a zombie horse, pretty much the definition of BoringButPractical as it it doesn't need food, rest, or need to stop, but it can't move as fast as a living horse, meaning mounted bandits are still a threat.
39* Junji Ito's manga ''Manga/{{Gyo}}'' is about Japan being invaded by undead fish on mechanical legs. This may or may not be caused by an old biological weapon created by the Japanese army during World War 2. The fish themselves are dead and the legs powered by the gas generated by a contagious bacteria that's animating the corpses. Maybe. It's a pretty bizarre story.
40* A puppy that Yuki brings home in ''Manga/SchoolLive'' turns into a zombie. In the anime, due to AdaptationExpansion, the dog Taroumaru is still alive and the TeamPet instead of the OneShotCharacter he was in the manga. [[spoiler:In the tenth episode we find out he's become a zombie]]. It's noted that only mammals seem to turn into zombies.
41* Romero from ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'' is a cute little dog who also happens to be a zombie and occasionally {{Art Shift}}s into a more realistically-drawn and terrifying appearance. Since the main characters are zombie {{Idol Singer}}s, it's only natural that the TeamPet of their group is one as well.
42[[/folder]]
43
44[[folder:Card Games]]
45* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' is no stranger to undead animals, with nearly every set having at least quite a few (in fact, nearly all Black-aligned animals that aren't rats or insects are undead). Storywise, the plane of [[AncientEgypt Amonkhet]] has every living thing in it become a zombie upon death, which includes everything from snake to cats to gigantic {{Sand Worm}}s. Liliana Vess exploits this to kill Razaketh by [[spoiler:turning the waters of the Luxa River into blood, killing everything within it]], and then dominating the resulting horde of undead fishes, snakes and crocodiles.
46* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' has an Undead Horse, undead ears, and [[BeeAfraid Zombees]], which are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin just what you'd think they'd be]].
47* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' has many. Examples include Corroding Shark (a zombie shark), Mammoth Graveyard (a skeleton mammoth), Des Lacooda (a camel mummy), Pyramid Turtle, Bone Mouse, Plague Wolf, Skelesaurus, Zombie Tiger and several dragon zombies, one of which is simply called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Dragon Zombie]]. The Vendread line in particular seems to have a fondness for this (hardly a surprise, given [[Franchise/ResidentEvil its inspiration]]), with Houndhorde (a pack of zombie dogs), Striges (a murder of zombie crows), and Chimera, who appears to be an entire ''zoo'' merged into a single BodyHorror monstrosity.
48[[/folder]]
49
50[[folder:Comic Books]]
51* ''Comicbook/AfterlifeWithArchie'' begins when Jughead's pet dog Hot Dog is accidentally hit by Reggie's car. Jughead has ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch revive him but Hot Dog comes back as a zombie and bites Jughead. This causes a ZombieApocalypse.
52* ''ComicBook/BeastsOfBurden'': Undead animals show in a number of stories. "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" features a band of zombie dogs.
53* In ''Comicbook/BlackestNight'', Black Lantern Aquaman is shown commanding skeletal fish, while riding a zombified version of his SeahorseSteed, Storm. Solivar, the late king of Gorilla City, also becomes a Black Lantern.
54* In ''All-New Comicbook/CaptainAmerica'', the vampire Baron Blood takes out Redwing the falcon, only for Redwing to return as a vampire falcon, still loyal to Sam Wilson.
55* In ''ComicBook/CreatureTech'', the blood of Christ in the ShroudOfTurin can heal wounds and raise the dead. When the shroud accidentally comes into contact with some meat in a butcher shop, the various cuts assemble themselves into a sentient Meat Man.
56* ''ComicBook/TheFinalPlague'' is about animals zombifying and attacking humanity.
57* ''ComicBook/GIZombie'': TheVirus that gets released in Sutterville, Tennessee, is capable of zombifying animals and humans. This becomes apparent when a dog won't stay down despite having its neck broken.
58* An early issue of ''ComicBook/TheGoon'' featured a gigantic zombie chimpanzee.
59* In ''ComicBook/HackSlash'', slashers often have powers of some kind, usually having something to do with their MO from when they were alive. Bobby Brunswick, who worked at an animal clinic euthanizing animals before he died, has the power to raise dead animals and command them to do his bidding.
60* One of the stories in ''ComicBook/TheHaloGraphicNovel'' involves a Flood infestation on a Covenant supply ship. They completely wipe out and assimilate the onboard wildlife reservation.
61* ''ComicBook/Hitman1993'': Tommy and friends experience "Zombie Night At Gotham Aquarium," which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. [[note]]''Hitman'' #13-14[[/note]]
62* Previously, Marvel had a vampire animal in the form of Bessie the Hellcow. No, really. Vampirised by Dracula himself, apparently by accident when he ''really'' needed some blood, she stalked the night for 300 years and her milk bestows vampric regeneration. (She was a ''Comicbook/HowardTheDuck'' character who later appeared in ''Comicbook/{{Deadpool}} Team-Up'', so "making sense" wasn't a ''huge'' priority.)
63* One story in Creator/{{Wildstorm}}'s ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' anthology comic has a security guard fighting his way through infected animals of a zoo, which includes tigers, snakes, gorillas and prairie dogs. When the character returns in the sequel comic ''Fire and Ice'', he is jumped by a zombie lion ("Not ''this'' again! Why is it always ''animals?''").
64%%* Happened in Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers''.
65* In the New 52's reboot of ''Comicbook/SwampThing'', the BigBad is Death itself (technically, the Rot) personified. As such, Alec must face such undead abominations as zombie ''pigs'' and a reanimated woolly mammoth fossil.
66* In the ''[[Creator/ECComics Tales From the Crypt]]'' story "Squash... Anyone?", there is a zombie elephant, rendered in wonderfully revolting detail by Graham Ingels.
67* ''ComicBook/TraggAndTheSkyGods'': In "The Cult of the Cave Bear" in ''Mystery Comics Digest'' #9, a {{Necromancer}} uses fumes from magic herbs and a drum beat to raise zombies to steal food from other tribes. After his zombies steal a cave bear Tragg is has just killed, he is HoistByHisOwnPetard when Tragg uses the herbs and drum to resurrect the cave bear, which kills him.
68[[/folder]]
69
70[[folder:Fan Works]]
71* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': Crowned Death and his minions can make zombie animals. "Interception" has a giant zombie octopus, while "Backfire -- Part 1" has undead shrimp, whales, starfish and even an entire coral reef.'
72* ''Fanfic/EverfreeInfectionAU'': While ponies are the most commonly seen victims of the infection, magical tampering gave it the ability to affect all mammals. Twilight Sparkle is initially infected by a mouse overgrown by branches, while one pony contracts the Everfree infection after being attacked by a sick cat that's implied to be Rarity's pet cat Opalescence.
73* ''[[Fanfic/ATroublesomeCharge Ghost Roads]]'' gives Xue Yang an undead army which includes fish, crows, and snakes.
74* ''Fanfic/TheresMoreMagicOutThere'': On their quest to [[spoiler:rescue Sabrina from being traded for her human counterpart]], the Mystery Gang run into reanimated deer that are haunting the Fae territory, which Alix and Kagami treat as distinct abominations. [[spoiler:The deer were reanimated by a {{Necromancer}}, working to find a way to bring back his father and kill him in revenge]].
75* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': During the chaos of the fighting on Thriller Bark, Cross stumbles upon an experiment of Hogback's in the form of a zombie cyborg T-Rex. [[CrazyIsCool Naturally]], he proceeds to ride it into battle.
76* Velanna Lupescu from ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'' is shown to have a pair of vampiric bears under her control.
77* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': When Kay'la is shrunk down and [[FantasticVoyagePlot sent into the king's body]] to try and cure his coma, she encounters ''undead white blood cells'' among the threats awaiting her at the source of his infection.
78[[/folder]]
79
80[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
81* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}'' is about a boy who resurrects his dog a la ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''. Near the climax, several other kids try their hands at necromancy, with such results as a mummy hamster, a kaiju turtle ([[Film/{{Gamera}} no relation]]), a were-rat, and a vampire cat.
82* In ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', [[NobleWolf Moro]]'s severed head is briefly reanimated upon contact with the Forest Spirit's black goo... whereupon it proceeds to lunge at Lady Eboshi and [[AnArmAndALeg bite off her arm]].
83[[/folder]]
84
85[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
86* In ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' the [[strike:[[NotUsingTheZWord zombie]]]] Rage virus was originally tested on and spread by chimpanzees.
87* ''Film/ArmyOfTheDead'' has a zombie tiger and at least one zombie horse.
88* ''Film/BigTitsZombie'': When the dead are summoned to rise, the sushi the girls are preparing comes alive and attacks them.
89* ''Film/BlackSheep2007'' involves zombie sheep who turn humans into weresheep.
90%%* ''Film/BladeTrinity'' features three "reaper" dogs.
91* In ''Film/{{Daybreakers}}'', there's mention of ''vampire'' animals. Apparently, they keep igniting in the sun, leading to forest fires. Also, the main character, a vampire scientist trying to find a viable blood substitute, has a laboratory full of vampirised test animals.
92* Played with in ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'': a large alligator is seen emerging from a building alongside a horde of zombies in one of the establishing scenes. However, it's not specified whether the alligator is itself a zombie too or whether it has just opportunistically set up shop near them to feed on the vast quantities of loose and decaying flesh.
93* ''Film/DeadHeat'': An Asian butcher shop is subjected to reanimating energies, causing hook-suspended ducks to quack, headless chickens to blunder about blindly, and an entire dressed beef carcass to lurch out of the freezer and grapple a hero ''inside its body cavity''.
94* ''Film/DeadSushi'' features, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you guessed it]], zombie sushi.
95* In ''Film/DeathSpa'', Catherine locks Lt. Fletcher in the club's cold room and then reanimates the eels being stored in there for sushi. One of them rips his throat out.
96* In ''Film/ExorcistTheBeginning'', Pazuzu animates the butterflies in Major Granville's collection, [[DrivenToSuicide driving him to suicide]].
97* ''Film/TheGamersDorknessRising'': After defeating [[TheDragon Mort Kemnon]] and realising he was not the BigBad, sorceress Luster hands a note to the DM: "Raise Dead on the turkey". That they were roasting over their campfire. It [[RunningGag kills the bard]] before getting eaten (and still zombie'd).
98* In ''Film/IAmLegend'', dogs are naturally immune to airborne infection by the vampiric KV virus but not to infection by bite. Two vampire dogs appear midway during the movie as threats [[spoiler:and they end up infecting Neville's pet dog Sam, who he fails to cure and ends up having to MercyKill.]] Neville himself keeps vampire rats for study while struggling to develop a cure.
99* ''Film/TheJurassicDead'': As the title implies, this movie has a zombie dinosaur in it. However, at the beginning of the movie, Dr. Borge demonstrates his resurrection chemical by resurrecting a cat.
100* ''Film/ALittleBitZombie'': Steve's zombification starts after he's bitten by an undead mosquito.
101* In ''Film/TheMad'', one of the characters is attacked by a zombie hamburger patty.
102* Zombie cats and dogs are integral to the plot of ''Film/NightOfTheCreeps''. A zombified cat infects the only sorority member to become a zombie, whilst a zombified dog causes the fatal bus crash that allows it to then infect Chris and J.C's fraternity members with slugs for the final assault.
103* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'':
104** Undead sharks and seagulls can be seen in the wake of the ''Silent Mary''.
105** Jack, the undead monkey, also returns. [[spoiler:Probably a subversion, as breaking all the sea's curses presumably returned the animal to life at the end.]]
106* ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'': One of the ickier feats of ghostly telekinesis is a raw steak slithering along a kitchen counter.
107* In ''Film/PoultrygeistNightOfTheChickenDead'', chicken zombies aren't too happy about being eaten.
108* ''Film/ReAnimator'': Herbert West, like many a real-world medical scientist, tests his methods on animals first. This includes a cat in the first movie and a rat [[Film/BeyondReAnimator the third]] (a rat that, apparently, ''learnt kung fu'' by becoming a zombie).
109* This happens offscreen in ''Film/{{REC}}'' in the exposition dump provided by the Health Inspector. A dog whom was sent to the vet because he seemed sick ended up going violent and attacked all the other animals. Soon they began to to act violent as well before the whole situation was finally quarantined. Said dog just happened to be Jennifer's dog Max. Soon most of the other survivors looked on at the girl, realizing what that means...
110* ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction'' has zombie crows, and all three films have zombie dogs.
111* In ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', zombifying gas spreads throughout a medical supply warehouse, reanimating half a dog and a butterfly collection. (On the other hand, when the gas spreads over the town, the only zombies we see are human.) A giant rat gets brought back in ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadNecropolis'', while several lab mice (including the so-called [[UglyCute "Mr. Stinky"]]) become infected in ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadRaveToTheGrave''.
112* ''Film/ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse'' features a zombie deer in one scene, and a lot of zombie cats in another.
113* In ''Film/{{Slither}}'' the alien slugs reveal capable of infecting other animals beyond humans, as one of the main characters is attacked by a zombified deer. [[spoiler: Not to mention TheStinger in which the surviving alien parasite infects a cat]].
114* ''Film/TrainToBusan'' has a deer being hit and killed by a car, only for it to start moving in a jerky, unnatural way and get up on its feet again. Cue ScareChord-shot of its white, dead eyes.
115* In ''Film/VictorFrankenstein'', the first creature Victor resurrects is a MixAndMatchCritter made mostly of chimpanzee parts.
116* ''Film/ZoltanHoundOfDracula'': A dog is discovered with a stake through its heart. Removing the stake leads to the vampire Rottweiler reviving with a thirst for blood. Flashbacks reveal that this was originally an EvilDetectingDog, turned by Dracula in vengeance after it protected a woman from him. Once revived, Zoltan starts turning other dogs.
117* ''Film/{{Zombeavers}}'' is about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin zombie beavers]].
118* ''Film/ZombieApocalypse'' has a pair of zombie tigers. Unlike human zombies, they drag prey into hiding to eat.
119* ''Film/{{Zoombies}}'' is about a zombie outbreak that affects the animals in a wildlife park and turns them all into vicious, flesh-eating predators, including obligate herbivores like giraffes.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Gamebooks]]
123* ''Literature/BloodOfTheZombies'' contains huge zombie rats in Goraya Castle's AbsurdlySpaciousSewer, and a separate area where you fight zombiefied canines. However, they do ''not'' count under the zombie tally ([[GottaKillEmAll you need to hunt down and kill every HUMAN zombie in the Castle]] - [[spoiler:all '''333''' of them]]) - battling zombified animals are a waste of your ammunition.
124* ''Literature/CanYouSurviveTheZombieApocalypse'' has zombie ''lions''.
125* ''Literature/PleaseDontFeedTheVampire'' has the b-path, where your vampirized poodle Fifi suddenly goes on a biting spree and starts attacking all the dogs in the neighborhood, resulting in packs and packs of vampirized canines coming after you. [[spoiler:But if you survive long enough, your bestie Gabe will come to the rescue, having found an antidote which turns vampire canines back to regular dogs]].
126[[/folder]]

128[[folder:Literature]]
129!! Authors
130* Creator/SimonRGreen:
131** ''Literature/ForestKingdom'': In the ''Hawk & Fisher'' spinoff series book 6 (''The Bones of Haven''), [[spoiler: thousands of enraged animal ghosts are called up from a slaughterhouse, materialize as zombies, and embark on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against humanity]].
132** ''Literature/GhostFinders'': It's not clear if they're technically undead or not, but ''Ghost of a Smile'' has a room full of animated black-market ''transplant organs'' attack the heroes and try to [[OrificeInvasion get inside them]].
133* Creator/BrianKeene:
134** ''Dead Sea'' has examples of zombie seagulls, zombie fish and zombie rats.
135** ''The Rising'' series -- ''The Rising'', ''City of the Dead'', and ''The Rising: Selected Scenes from the End of the World'' -- has a whole selection of zombie animals spanning from birds to dogs. [[spoiler:Zombie insects and zombified plants are also explored in ''The Rising: Selected Scenes from the End of the World'' and with zombified plants being hinted towards at the end of ''City of the Dead''.]]
136
137!!Individual works
138* A vampire version of this appears in Creator/ChristopherMoore's ''Literature/BloodsuckingFiends'' trilogy about vampires in San Francisco, ''Love Bites'', ''You Suck'' and ''Bite Me''. Under the series' [[OurVampiresAreDifferent rules of how vampirism works]], anything that has a vampire's blood in its system, and then dies, comes back as a vampire. Since many animals instinctively fight by biting their attacker, animals get vampirized very easily. At one point in the story there are ''clouds'' of mist made of vampire cats flying around. [[spoiler:Fortunately, UndeathAlwaysEnds. The further removed vampires in that setting are from the original vampire, the quicker they die naturally or self-destruct psychologically somehow, which is seen with formerly human vampires. Protagonists manage to kill the first vampire cat, and it might never be explicitly stated but we can assume that all animals of a lower "generation" than him fall apart on their own somehow. At one point a flock of vampire parrots bursts into flame in the morning sun simply because they don't know they need to stay away from sunlight.]]
139* In the humorous MagiTek fantasy novel ''Literature/TheCaseOfTheToxicSpellDump'', a seamstress removes a fresh bloodstain from a piece of cloth by having her pet vampster lick it clean. Yes, that's a vampire ''hamster''.
140* In the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath,'' Ganth Gray Lord rode his warhorse Iron Jaw to death in the Haunted Lands, and like anything that dies there and isn't burnt, Iron Jaw became a haunt. Later shows up as [[DarkLord Gerridon's]] mount.
141* Chloe from ''Literature/DarkestPowers'' is a {{necromancer}} who only [[PubertySuperpower recently]] discovered her powers. She accidentally revives decomposed bats while trying to summon [[spoiler:Liz's]] ghost.
142* In ''Literature/DeadSpaceMartyr'', there is mention of fish becoming [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Necromorphs]] and attacking, then infecting other fish around the [[{{MacGuffin}} Black Marker]].
143* ''Literature/TheDeathMageWhoDoesntWantAFourthTime'': Vandalieu uses his Death-attribute magic to raise the skeletons of a bird, a monkey, a bear and a wolf to serve as fighting force. They are eventually combined into [[GeniusLoci Knochen]], who now can create its own skeletal minions, among them animal skeletons.
144* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has several examples:
145** Scraps in ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'' is TheIgor's pet dog. He's what you might call a [[MixAndMatchMan mixed-breed]], and [[MultipleTailedBeast as happy as a dog with two tails]]. The ''We R Igors Diary 2015'' includes a picture of him, and also Patches the cat.
146** In ''Literature/ReaperMan'' when [[DeathTakesAHoliday Death stops working]] (when his performance is being evaluated) it also affects animals.
147** Death tried to make use of a skeletal mount once, but found it impractical; he had to keep wiring bits back on. He much prefers his living horse, Binky. The gardens of Death's Domain are still home to skeletal birds, and there are skeletal fish in the pond.[[note]]It's been speculated that these are actually living creatures with invisible flesh, but nobody really knows (except, presumably, Death himself).[[/note]]
148* One of the [[MagicAIsMagicA rules]] of necromancy in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' is that it's often not worth it to raise a zombie animal, as animals leave shallower "psychic footprints" than humans and thus don't have as much power when raised (consider that a human zombie, in deference to tradition, is typically as strong as the Terminator). Using necromancy on humans is also a capital crime among wizards, ruthlessly enforced by the White Council's Wardens. In ''Literature/DeadBeat'', Harry however, latches onto two of the other rules -- first, that it is ''technically'' not illegal to raise animals, and second, that the older something is, the deeper its "footprint" becomes -- and applies these rules to [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex Sue, the 65 million year old T. rex skeleton at the Natural History Museum]]]]. And then he rode it into battle. ([[spoiler:Consider that a fossil isn't even an actual skeleton, but an ''imprint'' filled with ''minerals''. So basically, he's reanimated a dinosaur partially made of rock.]])
149* In the ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' novel ''Vampire Science'', the scientifically-minded leader of the vampires has performed experiments which show the "V-factor" can be added to any animal. Rather worryingly, she's not sure where the cats are, but she had a snail for a while (until one of the other vampires stood on it, and they decided the kindest thing to do would be to stake it with a toothpick) and undead ameobas that consume red blood cells.
150* ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'': A fight begins during a diplomatic feast. Merlin reanimates the animals cooked for it (including a boar). He also reanimates people that died during the fight so that they can keep fighting.
151* In the third book of ''Literature/TheImmortals'' series by Creator/TamoraPierce, Daine's temporarily given the ability to wake the dead, but isn't informed about the nature of this 'gift' and so has some PowerIncontinence trouble accidentally touching things like a stuffed king vulture and a tiger skin rug before she realizes what's happening. The goddess who gave her that ability wants her to raid the graveyards, but she resists. Instead Daine ends up raising dinosaur fossils and takes them on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge because she thinks Numair has been executed by the Emperor.
152* A pack of zombie hyenas appears in ''Iron Dawn'', as products of the demonist's corrupted magic.
153* The virus in ''Literature/JanitorsOfThePostApocalypse'' works on great apes as well as on humans. Chimpanzees, with their higher strength and mobility, are far more dangerous and unpredictable than feral humans.
154* ''Literature/TheLivingDead'' by Creator/GeorgeARomero and Daniel Kraus has not just dead humans but dogs, rats, chickens, and even dolphins rising as zombies.
155* Creator/DavidDrake's ''Literature/TheLordOfTheIsles'' features a lot of necromancers who, in their bid to take over the kingdom, love to raise the dead. Their armies include undead infantry, undead cavalry on undead horses, and even undead shock troops in the form of undead ''woolly mammoths''. Undead cyclopses have also been known to appear.
156* ''[[Literature/MonsterHunterInternational Monster Hunter Vendetta]]'' features a necromancer who needs an army and has time to plan. So he's "been collecting corpses like some people collect stamps." His enemies, all experienced monster hunters, react with disbelief:
157** "Armored zombie bear!"
158** "A helmet! Who puts buckets on zombies' heads? That's not fair!"
159** "Where the hell do you get dead elephants anyway?"
160** "Okay, walking dead, that’s fine. Running dead, I can handle. But the flying dead? Hell with this. I quit."
161* The zombie virus in ''Literature/MyVampireOlderSisterAndZombieLittleSister'' is fully capable of infecting animals other than humans. At one point, the inhabitants of a zoo fall victim to the virus, resulting in a zombie elephant, a zombie rhino, and a zombie anaconda (among others). It can even infect ''plants'', somehow endowing them with the ability to move.
162* The Kellis-Amberlee virus of the ''Literature/{{Newsflesh}}'' Trilogy affects any mammal over forty pounds. This includes large dogs, horses, cows...and ''whales''. This is actually weaponized in the first book, when a zombie outbreak is deliberately triggered on a horse ranch. Although in reality ranches have so many security measures and such frequent testing that there's almost no chance of surprise zombie dressage, public perception is that equestrian=dinner, so no one would have suspected anything [[spoiler: had Georgia's crew not found that syringe.]]
163* In Creator/LarryNiven's short story "Night on Mispec Moor" the zombifying organism originally evolved to dwell in corpses of native dog-like animals. Then it found human corpses make a good host too.
164* ''Literature/TheOdyssey'': [[BlindSeer Tiresias]] and Circe tell Odysseus that his men must not eat the sun god's cattle while on his island. Naturally, they do, since the island didn't have much more than herbs. However, the meat doesn't stay dead, and starts to moo on the spit as it roasts. And [[FromBadToWorse once they]] [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom leave the]] [[BoltOfDivineRetribution island]]... though the intention was not a ZombieApocalypse, but an omen that the sun god was pissed off and about to get revenge.
165* In Garth Nix's ''Literature/OldKingdom'' series:
166** {{Animals hate|him}} the evil {{Necromancer}} Hedge (particularly after he becomes undead himself), so he has to resort to killing and reanimating horses to ride. Plural because, even as Dead entities, they keep finding ways to destroy themselves rather than be near him.
167** Gore-crows are made by ritually killing a number of crows, then imbuing their bodies with a single human Dead spirit to reanimate them as a HiveMind. The larger the number, the more deadly the swarm is, but the faster they suffer PossessionBurnout and the harder it is for the Dead spirit to keep them animate.
168* Not actually seen, but in ''Literature/OnStrangerTides'', when a sorcerer animates a sunken British ship's crew to serve him, and accidentally raises up the Spanish vessel that sank it as well, one character remarks that there are probably fishes swimming about beneath them that'd been skeletons an hour ago.
169* ''Literature/Overlord2012'': During the battle against the Lizardmen, the undead army includes zombie dogs, boars, and even a bear.
170* In Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/PetSematary'', there's a special burial ground and anyone buried there will come back to life. Several people have buried dead pets there, and they were brought back to life, but something always seem [[CameBackWrong "off"]] about them. Regardless, aside from some odd behavior, reanimated animals are mostly harmless. However, burying ''humans'' there is disastrous. Any humans brought back this way are the very definition of CameBackWrong, and its all but stated that they're really possessed by whatever supernatural force inhabits that land. Presumably, animals are too but their brains aren't advanced enough to allow for true possession.
171 * In ''Literature/TheRadiantDawn'', "cavaliers" ride on undead horses, donkeys, and other animals. They serve as psychic conduits to allow the generals and necromancers to control the "mindless" undead.
172* In ''Literature/TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel'', John Dee uses necromancy to raise an army of zombies and animated skeletons, including animal skeletons. Some are even from animals that have been extinct for thousands of years, like saber-toothed cats.
173* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', anything killed by the Others will rise as a wight. This includes horses (often described as riding around with [[{{Squick}} frosted entrails clinging to their bellies]]) and {{bears|AreBadNews}}. There is also a brief reference to “dead things in the water” at Hardhome, but we have yet to find out what exactly this refers to.
174* Remember the Tauntauns, the weird horned arctic lizards from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''? The thing Han sliced open to stow a hypothermic Luke inside to keep him warm? Yeah, those show up infected by a Sith zombie plague in ''Literature/StarWarsRedHarvest''.
175* [[{{Necromancer}} Mary]] from ''Literature/TrashOfTheCountsFamily'' utilizes these as well as other NonHumanUndead, usually using DemBones to create MixAndMatchCritters.
176* It is perfectly possible to resurrect animals as Lifeless in ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}''. Doing this is fairly rare, as creating a Lifeless is moderately expensive (since you can't reclaim the Breath used to animate it, plus you need special chemicals for best effect) and humans are far more useful in most circumstances.
177* In the picture books and subsequent animated series ''Funnybones'', the two [[DemBones living skeletons]] have a living skeletal dog.
178[[/folder]]

180[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
181* Lily from ''Series/TheBite'' is taking care of a couple's cat when a ZombieApocalypse breaks out. After a client of hers turns into a zombie, he attacks the cat and kills it. It later reanimates as a zombie itself.
182* In the "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E2DeadMansParty Dead Man's Party]]" episode of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', the first zombie raised by the mask that houses the demon Ovu Mobani is a cat. It was the corpse closest to the mask though, and most of the corpses it raises are human. The demon require a zombie to put on the mask so it can incarnate, and presumably the body needs to be human).
183* One episode of ''Series/ForeverKnight'' features ''two'' vampire dogs. One is a blind woman's seeing eye dog. The incident reminds Nick of the time his dog was turned into a vampire. [[spoiler:Nick was forced to stake his dog. The seeing eye dog ends up turning its master (and curing her blindness.)]]
184* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
185** The White Walkers use reanimated horses as mounts.
186** In season 7, Jon Snow and his team come across a [[BearsAreBadNews zombified bear]] north of the Wall.
187* ''Series/IZombie'': While using rats to test out causes of the zombie virus, Ravi accidentally creates a zombie rat that devours the other test subjects. When discovered, Ravi is understandably terrified while Liv thinks it's adorable. It's a zombie thing.
188* ''Series/Kingdom2019'': In the prequel movie ''Ashin of the North'', a deer eats a plant infested with a zombifying parasite, dies, and reanimates in minutes. It isn't long before it encounters a tiger and, despite being undead now, is still swiftly overpowered and killed. The tiger, however, turns as well after eating the infected flesh.
189* In a parody of ''Literature/PetSematary'', the ZombieApocalypse episode of ''Series/{{Misfits}}'' begins with an ill-advised attempt to resurrect a dead cat
190* ''Series/PushingDaisies'': When you can raise the dead by touching them, be careful not to touch bearskin rugs.
191* ''Series/ZNation'' has animals becoming zombies, including a bear.
192[[/folder]]
193
194[[folder:Music]]
195* The campfire song "Johnny Verbeck's Sausage Making Machine" is about a man who makes a machine that turns dogs and cats into sausages. It has this verse:
196-->One day a little Dutch boy came walking in the store,\
197He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.\
198And then he started whistling, he whistled up a tune,\
199And all the little sausages went dancing 'round the room!
200* "Zombie Jamboree" makes a brief mention of a "King Kong zombie on the Empire State (Building)".
201[[/folder]]
202
203[[folder:Music Videos]]
204* Music/{{Metallica}}: The video for "All Nightmare Long" has the Russian scientists injecting zombie spores into steaks, and watching them slither around.
205[[/folder]]
206
207[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
208* ''TabletopGame/AllFleshMustBeEaten'' provides stats for numerous breeds of undead animal, and they show up in multiple Dead Worlds.
209* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'':
210** The first monster manual, "Rascals, Varmints & Critters", has the Walkin' Fossil, which is a fossil that has been animated by a possessing demon, similarly to all the other undead in the setting.
211** The second monster manual, "Rascals, Varmints & Critters 2", has stats for generic Undead Animals, which are noted to be rare because all undead in the setting are born of DemonicPossession, and most demons would rather take even the most putrid human corpse over a mere animal's.
212* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
213** There are skeleton and zombie versions of just about anything (but most notably hounds). A well-played necromancer will not reanimate {{Demi Human}}s, but monsters, as they retain qualities they had in life, leading to nice goodies like zombie pyrohydras.[[note]]like the inability to have their heads destroyed by non-acid damage, complete immunity to fire and cold damage, and ability to attack once per head in a round.[[/note]] ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsThirdEdition'' made this particularly easy with the "template" system, essentially a {{splat}} that could be applied overtop of a monster statblock and create an undead creature out of anything.
214** Older editions of the game include ''Animate Dead Animals'' as a low-level magic spell, usable by novice necromancers who aren't yet powerful enough to affect humanoid corpses.
215** The ''Sandstorm'' supplement has the death scarab swarm, which is a swarm of undead beetles that acts straight out like those of ''Film/TheMummy1999''. They can remain inside desert tombs for centuries, but when attacking living being they can consume their preys entirely within a few rounds.
216** ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'': The realm of Forlorn is known for its undead wolf packs, an undead StockNessMonster lurks in one of the Core's lakes, and Meredoth the necromancer has been known to raise up undead skeletons of anything from mice to bears to kangaroos.
217** ''Dragon'' Magazine 174 describes two varieties of undead wolves: dread wolves, zombies created from reanimated wolf bodies by evil spellcasters, and vampiric wolves created by evil clerics corrupting litters of wolf pups.
218** The book ''Libris Mortis'' has a template monster called the Revived Fossil, which is WhatItSaysOnTheTin.
219** ''Dragon'' Magazine 336 described how to turn a Spawn of Kyuss (essentially a zombie created by infesting someone with a parasitic worm) into a template, effectively making non-humanoid variants. The example they give is for a mastiff.
220* An article in ''Pyramid'' vol 3 #7 called "Little Bits of Magic", for UrbanFantasy ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'', included Tina Newman, the Littlest Necromancer, a nine-year-old girl who has reanimated a couple of dozen dead pets, mostly rodents.
221* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
222** ''Create Undead'' responds to animals remains as well as it does to humanoid ones, and zombie and skeleton versions of mundane and magical wildlife are both common.
223** Copsewights are undead ''trees'', animated by the same supernatural blight that killed their living selves.
224* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'': It's impossible to turn non-humans into vampires, but some vampires are able to combine their blood and the power of [[TheBeastmaster Animalism]] into a poor substitute. The Oberloch clan can reanimate "beloved pets" as MightyGlacier zombies, whereas the Circle of the Crone can sustain "undying familiars" with daily blood infusions, albeit as grotesque {{Empty Shell}}s.
225* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'':
226** The Vampire Counts regularly employ undead wolves, horses and bats in their service. The Tomb Kings instead animate the bodies of carrion birds to serve as scouts and to harry enemy troops.
227** ''TabletopGame/{{Dreadfleet}}'' features a giant deep-sea flatfish that swallowed a Skaven submarine. Both monster and crew died when the ratmen tried to ''eat their way free''. Later, the monster's corpse was raised by a Vampire pirate, which raised the Skaven crew as well. The Skaven simply incorporated the monster into their still-swallowed vessel.
228** The ''Storm of Magic'' supplement describes undead ''trees'' -- the Living Deadwood Staff, a creation of an eccentric necromancer known as the Daemon Harborist of Tilea, allows its holder to animate dead trees into horrific, shambling undeath.
229[[/folder]]
230
231[[folder:Toys]]
232* ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'': Matoro Mahri's mask, the Kanohi Tryna, allows him to reanimate dead bodies. He generally only uses it on animals, for ethical reasons and because for the entire time he had it, he was underwater and surrounded by the corpses of sea creatures.
233[[/folder]]
234
235[[folder:Video Games]]
236* ''VideoGame/{{Belladonna}}'': Klara has to kill a cat to proceed. She poisons it, thus leaving it fit for a Frankenstein-inspired reanimation by the end of the game.
237* ''VideoGame/SevenDaysToDie''
238** Zombie dogs are a constant problem. They're faster than you can run, their bites and claws have a higher chance to cause bleeding and [[TheVirus infection]], and despite them only spawning naturally in cities and towns, nowhere is truly safe from them because every fifth day of a week, a horde made up ''exclusively'' of them will swarm your position. Thankfully, they're [[FragileSpeedster very weak]], their attacks have low base damage and can't stun, and when dead, they can be skinned with a knife for animal hide, an essential item for making bellows for forges and anything that takes tanned leather.
239** BearsAreBadNews. Zombified bears are even worse. They're like normal bears in that they're [[LightningBruiser damn resilient, startlingly fast and can really dish out the hurt]], except with the aggravants that you can't [[SetAMookToKillAMook set them up to take out zombies for you]], they don't give edible meat when skinned, and [[SuperPersistentPredator once angered, they'll never stop hunting down a player until either party is dead]].
240* ''Animales de la Muerte'', a game currently in development by High Voltage Software, developers of ''VideoGame/TheConduit'', involves zombie zoo animals from a Mexican zoo hit with a ZombieApocalypse.
241* Two prominent examples from the AffectionateParody ''VideoGame/TheBardsTale'':
242** After breaking the seal on the Nuckelavee's stone circle (by killing a mare on it) and extinguishing the flame on the Forest Tower, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the Bard ends up with]] skeletal horses running around and killing people.
243** After extinguishing the second flame, it'll be possible to run into Zombie Chicken (Which lay eggs spawning more zombie chicken), Zombie Sheep (who can put you to sleep) and Zombie Cows (powerful and durable chargers who dies [[CowTipping the istant they're pushed in the sides]]). One late level, the Farm, has you wading through hordes of revenant farm animals, culminating in a battle against the shapeless [[HaggisIsHorrible Haggis Monster]], which can recover health by summoning and grinding more zombie animals into his mass.
244* ''VideoGame/BigBuckHunter'' features Zombie Deer with their own hunting adventure, it's considered Hard Mode because ''only'' a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] can take the undead bucks down.
245** There's also "In Case of Zombies" which feature zombie chickens, racoons, the mentioned deer and [[BearsAreBadNews bears.]], the last of these being the FinalBoss of sorts in that mode.
246* ''VideoGame/BuffyTheVampireSlayerChaosBleeds'' features a zoo level with zombified gorillas and penguins. Unfortunately, the latter don't appear outside cutscenes.
247* ''VideoGame/{{Cataclysm}}: Dark Days Ahead'' features a number of undead animals such as [[BearsAreBadNews Zombears]], Antlered Horrors (undead moose), and various types of zombie dogs.
248* In ''VideoGame/ColdFear'', it is stated that Excell were experimented on animals, including dogs and apes. There's also a dead orca whale which hosted several Infectors, which proceed to attack you.
249* In ''VideoGame/DawnOfHeroes'', the first Epic Monster you have a chance of fighting is a zombie-cow. It gets 'milked' for any number of [[HurricaneOfPuns bad puns]]. And then it [[CurbStompBattle stomps you flat]]. (Its basic attack does 264 damage. Twice. At the time when you can first face it, your strongest unit MAY have 150 HP.)
250* ''VideoGame/DaysGone'': [[TheVirus The zombie virus]] affects animals as well, which so far includes "Runners" ([[SavageWolves wolves]]), "Ragers" ([[BearsAreBadNews bears]]) and "Criers" ([[FeatheredFiend crows]]).
251* In ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' a zombie poodle is shown during one of the opening {{Cutscene}}s. You don't run in to any other zombie animals in the 360 version. The Wii version features them during the normal game.
252** It's debatable if the poodle was even a zombie in the 360 version, it could be the zombies favor human meat exclusively to animals.
253** Zombie penguins are mentioned as being an attraction in Fortune City in the tie-in C.U.R.E. website. None are seen in-game, though.
254** ''VideoGame/DeadRisingChopTillYouDrop'' also has zombie parrots. They have an annoying tendency [[StuffBlowingUp to drop grenades on your head]].
255** The only true animal boss of VideoGame/DeadRising2, Snowflake, averts this trope entirely. Despite being a dangerous and very hungry tiger surrounded by lots of meaty zombie humans, it isn't a zombie at all as its caretaker has specifically gone out of his way to keep it from zombie meat.
256* In ''Franchise/DeadSpace'' some fish have been infected by Necromorphs and attack each other.
257** The Stalkers are implied to be made of both human and animal corpses, namely household pets like dogs and cats.
258** In [[VideoGame/DeadSpace3 the third game]], Lurkers are no longer made from [[UndeadChild infants]] as in previous games, but the mummified corpses of small dogs.
259* In ''[[VideoGame/DeadTrigger Dead Trigger 2]]'', one of the Daily Job missions features having to slay as many zombie chickens as possible. Like zombie humans, their modus operandi depends by the color of their gleaming eyes: the green-eyed ones ignore the player and will start running wild when shot, while the red-eyed ones actively seek out the player and explode in contact with them.
260* In ''VideoGame/DiscworldII'' (partially based on ''Literarure/ReaperMan'' above) when DeathTakesAHoliday (literally) and then becomes a clickie (i.e. movie) star humans and animals stop dying. Except rats, because Death-of-Rats is a separate entity who formed as a result of ''Reaper Man'' events. (Yes, continuity is... problematic.) Among other things we get to see a sheep skeleton working in clickies as Death's stunt double.
261* The very first enemies you face in the WebGame ''VideoGame/{{Dude and Zombies}}'' are zombie ''[[KillerRabbit rabbits]]''. They're pretty annoying even if weak, because they're small, fast, and jump while moving. Later on, you fight [[AirborneMook zombie birds]].
262* ''VideoGame/DungeonCrawl'' lets you animate any corpse that wasn't a shapeshifter, including all beasts in the game. Such undead beasts can also be encountered as regular enemies.
263* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' can raise any creature that's made of flesh, has not been mangled too badly, and is not a vermin. Additionally, some body parts can be reanimated too - mechanically, any body that still has limbs with the [GRASP] tag (so: arms, the occasional prehensile tail, and heads, because of the tongue). It's not out of the question for a necromancer to cut off someone's arm, reanimate that arm, use it to grapple the target long enough to decapitate, then raise both the corpse and the headless one-armed body. Three zombies for the price of one!
264** Evil biomes can sometimes be naturally reanimating. Besides the obvious issues where corpses and corpse parts will rise again, a side effect of the skeleton reanimating code causes untanned animal hides, sheered fleeces, and the shells of mussels to also naturally reanimate. Tarn Adams doesn't consider this a bug, on the grounds that a walking skin or fleece makes exactly as little sense as a walking skeleton.
265** Zombie Carp have a ''reputation''. For a while in DF2012, normal carp were overpowered, and notorious for dragging unlucky dwarves into the water to their doom. But they're generally easy to avoid as long as you stay away from the water. ''Zombie'' carp are a whole new magnitude of "scary," being capable of leaving the water and pursuing the hapless dwarves to their very beds. The bug making carp so overpowered has been fixed, but this won't help you when you get visited by a zombie ''whale''...
266* ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'' and ''VideoGame/Mother3'' both feature Zombie Dogs.
267* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series' lore, the Sload, "slugmen" native to the archipelago of Thras to the southwest of Tamriel, have a natural affinity toward {{necromancy}}. The Sload are said to use this skill, in part, to "slaughter and revive" various forms of sea creature as pets, such as crabs and turtles.
268* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy4'' has Undead Bears, which appear primarily in [[CreepyCemetery Graybone Cemetery]].
269* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' has undead dogs (or wolves) and undead horses.
270** Not technically undead, but a similar idea, are the afflicted cows in the second mission of Factions.
271** The Undeath present in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' is all-encompassing, if you thought zombie cows were bad, just try deal with a zombie chicken with a mean streak a mile wide. The only thing ''on the planet'' that can't become a Risen are Sylvari, who are naturally resistant to Zhaitan's influence [[spoiler:because they're servants of one of the other dragons.]]
272* The popular ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' [[GameMod mod]], "[[VideoGame/TheyHunger They Hunger]]", has zombie dogs, bulls, and chickens.
273* ''VideoGame/{{Hellforces}}'' sees you fighting zombie rats and dogs in the first few zombie-themed levels, although they stop appearing when the undead elements stopped showing up in later stages.
274* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has a few examples:
275** The conservatory of [[HauntedHouse Spookyraven Manor]] is infested with the skeletons of Stephen Spookyraven's [[ChronicPetKiller many unfortunate pets]].
276** Some of the rampaging giant ducks you can fight on [=McMillicancuddy's=] Farm include zombie ducks and vampire ducks.
277** During a Zombie Slayer run, you come back as a zombie and can turn other creatures into zombies to add to your horde, including beast-type monsters.
278** Giant Zombie Goldfish can be encountered in the Maze of Sewer Tunnels leading to Hobopolis.
279** During a limited-time event in September 2010, the players could collect animal fossils, assemble them into fossilized animals and battle them for components to power up one of their trinkets. Animals that could be assembled and fought included fossilized bats, fossilized serpents, fossilized baboons, [[{{Dracolich}} fossilized wyrms]], fossilized demons and fossilized {{Giant Spider}}s.
280* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' introduced undead fish for the water levels.
281** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': When crossing bridges, Link is usually attacked by animated fish skeletons.
282** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': The Bone Cuccos in the Dark World are undead chickens. [[SchmuckBait They'll still attack you in huge numbers if you hit one too many times]].
283** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has skeletal dogs called Stalhounds.
284** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' introduces [[GoddamnedBats undead bats called Dark Keese]].
285** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' has skeletal horses you can ride, as well as Stalfos versions of most monsters.
286* ''VideoGame/MetalSlug X'' introduces mummy dogs, whose breath like regular mummies can turn the player into one him/herself. They return in ''3'' and ''4''.
287* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'':
288** One of the in-game horse variants is the skeleton horse, which cannot be bred or made by breeding -- each must be individually tamed. They only spawn when lightning strikes a normal horse, which will transform into a skeletal horse ridden by a skeleton with an enchanted helmet and bow. A couple of clones of these will spawn nearby. In the morning, the skeletons will burn but the skeleton horses won't, at which point you can tame them. The game also has a zombie version of horses, but they do not spawn naturally and can only spawn by the usage of commands or Spawn Eggs. Lightning will also turn pigs into zombie piglings.
289** In the third-party mod ''VideoGame/MoCreatures'', an Essence of Undead will turn horses, ostriches, scorpions and mother wyverns into undead versions of themselves. Undead horses will eventually rot into skeleton horses unless an essence of light is used to restore their flesh.
290* Moccuses from ''VideoGame/MonsterSanctuary'' are mummified boars who were sacrificed by people to appease their deity during a famine, but he was so angered by this that he brought them back to life.
291* In the Director's Cut of ''VideoGame/OrganTrail'', the player character will occasionally have a "boss encounter" with undead animals. They may encounter [[BearsAreBadNews a zombie bear]] (which can't be killed) or zombie dogs (which are much faster than normal zombies) while scavenging, and they may have to dodge zombie deer while out on the road.
292* In ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'', Aya's adventure in the American Natural History Museum sees her getting attacked by several insect specimens that were brought back to life, as well as reanimated and mutated velociraptors, a triceratops and even a T-rex.
293* ''VideoGame/PathfinderWrathOfTheRighteous'' contains "plagued smilodons" in several areas, literally zombified [[SnowySabertooths sabertoothed tigers]]--one of the top predators of Sarkoria's taiga and cold plains before the Worldwound opened. The beasts can be DemonicSpiders for at lower levels.
294* The [[ZombieApocalypse Necroa Virus]] in ''VideoGame/PlagueInc'' can be mutated so it can be carried by bats, birds or rats, which makes the sickness more contagious. Evolving it further, causes these animals to become hostile and start attacking humans, which increases infection even further and, in the case of bats, being possibly lethal.
295* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' has zombie dolphins attack the household. The sequel introduces zombie ''chickens, seagulls, parrots, weasels and dragonflies''.
296* ''VideoGame/PrayerOfTheFaithless'': The Northern Woodland Hills have Zombie Worms as enemies.
297* The Meat Circus in ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' features zombie rabbits that attack Lil' Oly during the EscortMission.
298* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionUndeadNightmare'': The undead plague has spread to the animals, resulting in undead horses, undead wolves, undead cougars, and [[BearsAreBadNews undead bears]].
299* Practically omnipresent throughout the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' games. Zombie dogs have appeared in most every game to date, and you have also encountered infected crows (very annoying ''and'' dangerous), an [[SewerGator alligator (in a sewer!)]], a giant [[SnakesAreSinister zombie snake]], a giant Zombie ManEatingPlant, and even zombie ''[[ThreateningShark sharks]]''. Mentioned in the backstory, with Wesker suspicious of why Spencer had a mansion in the middle of a forest, despite knowing that the virus could infect ''anything'' and from such a location, could end up infecting ''everything''.
300** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak File #2'' had the protagonists forced to go through the Raccoon City zoo: You get attacked by zombie hyenas, zombie alligators, zombie elephants, and zombie lions. The elephant in particular is a major opponent through the zoo, wandering the zoo and actively attacking if it catches you, requiring a ''lot'' of firepower to put down or for you to just run. If you reach the final area without killing it, it acts as the boss of the stage - if you do manage it, it's replaced with a zombie lion.
301** This got to the point that when normal, if aggressive, crocodiles were featured in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', many were speculating on whether or not they were actually infected with anything.
302* ''Videogame/RuneScape'':
303** Draynor Manor has undead trees, which are indestructible to everything except an ax with a blessed silver edge, but are not very dangerous because they do little damage and are not able to follow you.
304** Maggie the witch owns a pair of skeletal oxen, Babe and Norman.
305** The player can get an [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus ex-ex-parrot, which is a parrot that has un-ceased to be,]] as a pet.
306** There is a ghost farmer who keeps zombie cows and zombie chickens near Port Phasmatys.
307** During one quest there is a StealthBasedMission where the player has to avoid being seen by undead broavs, a pig like animal.
308** The necromancer Melzar the Mad has zombie rats in his house.
309** The Ape Atoll dungeon contains monkey zombies and ape skeletons.
310** Corpse spiders actually are not undead spiders, they are spider shaped monsters made from corpses.
311* ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' had the title pair, a dog and a rabbit, become zombies in "Night of the Raving Dead". This is somewhat downplayed by their anthropomorphic nature.
312* In ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheServants'', the evil stems from a cursed monkey's restless spirit. An undead monkey pops up in a brief CatScare scene.
313* The ''Franchise/SilentHill'' games frequently employ decaying dogs (it's ambiguous if they are zombies to begin with, but the imagery is clear) as a type of enemy.
314* The ''VideoGame/{{TAGAP}}'' games have drug-addled zombie penguins as a recurring foe, being the end result of a MadScientist trying to make a SuperSoldier army out of penguins.
315* ''[[VideoGame/ThunderForce Thunder Force V]]'' has the boss "[[ShoutOut Iron Maiden]]", a reanimated... animal thingy.
316-->"It was dead, but alive at the same time."
317* In the haunted house level of ''VideoGame/TimeSplittersFuturePerfect'', racks of zombified beef attack you in a kitchen. In another room, a huge mass of flesh bursts out of a wall attached to a stuffed moose head. And we won't even BEGIN to discuss "Princess"...
318* The Vampire Coast trailer for ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammer'' has this invoked by the eponymous vampires, who plan to kill an enormous sea monster and then reanimate it to do their bidding.
319* ''VideoGame/TwinCaliber'' have zombie [[BearsAreBadNews bears]] as a recurring enemy in outdoor areas.
320* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000Darktide'': One of the specialist enemies is the Pox Hound, a dog that has been infested and reanimated by the Walking-Pox disease. They attack by pouncing on players to immobilize them while causing constant [[MaximumHPReduction Corruption damage]] to them until another player hits them off.
321* ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheOldBlood'' has a zombie outbreak partway through the second half, caused by exposure of corpses to an alchemical gas emitted from a recently-opened underground area. Early into the outbreak, this includes at least two Kampfhunde (armored guard dogs) that were killed in the initial earthquake that released the gas.
322* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': the undead player's racial mounts are undead, skeletal horses. There are also models for deer, bears, and wolves that look undead and are confirmed to be infected or diseased with something, but not actually undead. Although in Razorfen Downs, the undead Quilboar are happy to send a pack of undead boars to attack you. There are also undead crabs and Murlocs in the Ghostlands, but this is informed, since they look and act exactly like normal crabs and murlocs.
323** In most bodies of water there are swimming schools of fish that serve as decoration. In undead territories, they're fish skeletons.
324** With the introduction of battle pets, there are now plenty of undead creatures that can be added to your collection, including birds, cats, deer, squirrels, or goats. They vary from being decomposing to ghostly or even looking completely alive.
325* ''VideoGame/XComEnemyUnknown'': An unusual take. Chryssalids can implant their eggs in species besides humans, which would presumably create a zombie as well. The ones we see it demonstrated on are carcasses of sharks and large fishes, which new Chryssalids emerge from when you venture near, and they can use a whole whale as a breeding nest, which hatches a new bug each turn. This also explains the dead cows around Abductor ships.
326* ''VideoGame/ZombieInfection'' has a stage set in a zoo, so naturally you get to battle a zombified lion.
327[[/folder]]
328
329[[folder:Web Animation]]
330* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
331** In the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE141DeathMetal "death metal"]], Strong Bad watches a music video for [[FakeBand Taranchula's]] "The Decoupage", featuring a stop-motion animated steak crawling through a pile of rusty metal.
332--->'''Strong Bad:''' Creeping... rusty... meat. Truly the heart and soul of all death metal.
333** The 2008 Halloween cartoon "Most in the Graveyard" features a Carnivorous Undead Sheep attacking Homestar and Pom Pom.
334[[/folder]]
335
336[[folder:Webcomics]]
337* ''Webcomic/DeadOfSummer'' has zombie animals in Book 2, the scariest being a giant grizzly bear.
338* ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' has a variant: the [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=3207 creepy yet touching tale]] of Dogcula, a ''vampire'' dog. OurVampiresAreDifferent (and furry).
339* In a more logical instance of this trope, ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' combines the powers of different mages to revive a dead volcano.

346** The ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' strips have the over-templated monstrosity that is the vampiric half-dragon half-troll lycanthropic fiendish snail. Tremble at its illogical glory!

349* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] and [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''WebComic/TheZombieHunters.'' Animals are explicitly TheImmune, which piques the interest of scientists trying to FindTheCure, and prompts jokes amongst the [[DisasterScavengers Zombie Hunters]]: "I have ''always'' considered it a blessing that animals don't turn. Can you imagine? [[SuperPersistentPredator Hunter Zombie]] ''Squirrels?''"
350* Zombie horses, mules, and even [[http://www.zombieranchcomic.com/episode/88-ridin-out/ prairie dogs]] have been shown as part of the world of ''Webcomic/ZombieRanch''. Although carnivorous, their behavior seems mostly unchanged compared to human zombies, and their bite isn't infectious to people. Zombie horses are even considered a preferred mode of transportation, but zombie cattle were put down as useless. Regardless of your former species, zombification apparently makes you taste terrible.

They end up causing him a nightmare where all his pets raise as zombies and chase him. [[spoiler: He attempts to return the pets only to find out the shop owner is really the pet frog he let die years ago, who proceeds to turn him into a rat]].
366* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode ''Night of the Living Pharmacist'', Doofenshmitz's -inator turns people into mindless clones of himself, who can turn other people into more Doof clones just by touching them. At some point in the episode, Perry is told that OWCA has fallen, and then Phineas, Ferb, Buford, and Baljeet run into the Doofenized agents, who have become grotesque hybrids of Doof and whatever animal they were in the first place.
367* ''WesternAnimation/Primal2019'': In the episode "Plague of Madness", Spear and Fang are pursued by a giant sauropod which has succumbed to a disease that has turned it into zombie-like creature, with rotting flesh, a greenish pallor, and giving the normally peaceful herbivore an insatiable urge to kill any living thing it sets its eyes upon with extreme prejudice. Since it's so big, the chance of it being able to ''spread'' its sickness is low, since it pulverizes everything it touches, but at the same time it means Spear and Fang must RunOrDie to escape, since it's far too huge and powerful for them to fight head-on.
368* Doug's dog Dig in ''WesternAnimation/ScreamStreet''. Dig is a half-dead dog. His front half is a dog, his back half a skeleton. In cross section he’s like a swiss roll, with a central hole where his guts end, a ring of flesh, then a ring of fur.

372* ''WesternAnimation/{{Vincent}}'', who fantasized he was Creator/VincentPrice:

397* ''Film/Alice1988'':
398** The White Rabbit is a stuffed rabbit labeled "Lupus Cuniculus No.23". It comes to life while Alice is playing over in another, ripping its paws free from the display and biting through the nails. The White Rabbit has fake, bulging eyes and being a bit aged, the seam on his front no longer is closed. On the upside, it means he can store items inside himself. On the downside, he constantly leaks sawdust. He dons a Beefeater-like garb and tests the sharpness of a pair of scissors he carries before he runs off to fulfill his duties as an executioner.
399** The Dormouse is represented by a fox's pelt, which slithers across the table to lap up the remains of the tea party held by the Hatter and the March Hare.

They fly away and the next day Popopo learns that his act of kindness puts the milliner on the verge of bankruptcy.

409* ''Literature/ThatIsAll'': One of many, many apocalyptic scenarios to come up is the dead returning to life, but curiously, it only seems to effect taxidermied animals, most of whom are unable to escape from their stands and most of whom are unable to see because their eyes are glass.
