Undead People

Undead People (in Japanese 屍生人) are beings created by vampires who have donned Stone Masks. They serve as supporting antagonists in the early arcs of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Characteristics
Undead People are created when Stone Mask vampires inject their vampiric extracts into the body of the living or dead. Normally vampires create undead people while they are draining bloods from their victims. Contrary to other popular medias, vampires in Jojoverse do not automatically create undeads by sucking their bloods. For an instance, when Dio had his blood drained by a vampirized drunkard he did not automatically turn zombie. And women victims who had their blood drained by Dio in Stardust Crusaders arc just died and did not turn into zombies. Vampires' extracts has to be injected into victims' bodies to become zombies. Only trained Ripple users are able to reject this process.

When people turn undead, their injuries they had in life automatically heals. (Vanilla Ice, Bruford and Tarkus had their severed heads reattached). But that is it: they cannot regenerate after that. And even after a revived person turns undead it takes a little while to take an undead effect (Vanilla Ice, immediately after his revival, was unaffected by the sunlight. It is presumed he became full undead when Vanilla was stabbed by a fencer in the mouth)

All undead people are mentally bound to their vampire creators and are loyal towards their creators. Their former personalities and humanities are lost, becoming a bloodthirsty predators who constantly crave for bloods and flesh of the living. Although undead people do consume flesh, their primary diet consist of blood just like their vampire masters. And like zombies in other popular medias, they possess ability to infect and convert other living beings into one of them. Also like zombies in popular medias they cease their activities permanently when their heads are destroyed. Like their vampire masters they perish when exposed to sunlight.

Stengthwise, unless undead people happen to be extremely strong in life or had their physical attributes altered in life humans who possess above average strength can take them on. (Jonathan Joestar killed a zombified police with a spear, and he was non-Hamon user at the time). However, with their inability to feel pain, inhuman aggression, extraordinary persistence and unlimited stamina makes them more than a match for normal humans. They keep on persisting until their head is obliterated.

Dio Brando was the only Stone Mask vampire to create undead people: Aztec Chief who turned vampire slaughtered his own people but did not create any zombies. Vampire drunkard died while eating Dio's blood. Stone Mask vampires make their appearances in Battle Tendency but never created undead people.

Jack used the guise of a nobleman to lure women, after which he killed them. Dio Brando encounters him and turns Jack into one of his zombie underlings. After this Jack turns into an abominable monster, feeding on corpses given to him by Dio. The group of Jonathan Joestar, Will Zeppeli and Speedwagon is attacked by Jack inside the tunnel entrance to the Windknights village, using various scalpels buried into his body to attack. After Will deflects the scapels with his Wine Cutter, Jack opens a secret passage on the tunnel and enters it. Will gives JoJo a glass of wine and tells him to defeat Jack. Jack takes advantage of the darkness and attacks by using a huge torture device, but JoJo learns to use the wine to track down Jack, attacking him from behind a wall and disintegrating him.

As Doobie starts harassing her, an anvil falls on his head, which was dropped by Jonathan, who proceeds to fight Doobie. Doobie then removes the sack on his head, revealing the snakes which reside on his skull and attacking JoJo with them. JoJo removes the poison from his body and grabs the snakes, charging them with Hamon, which makes the snakes turn on against Doobie and bite him, killing him in the process.

Page, Jones, Plant & Bonham


Page, Jones, Plant and Bonham are minor antagonists from the first arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Phantom Blood.

The four are some of the many zombie underlings of Dio Brando. They attack Jonathan's group after Dio kills Dire, attempting to use their combined Vascular Needle Attack (in which they extend their blood vessels from their bodies to attack) against Straights, who jumps and knocks a chandelier over them, then proceeding to dispose of them by using his Hamon on the chandelier, which melts the four zombies instantly.

These four differ from other zombies due to their alien-like appearance, instead of looking like regular ghouls.

Their names are a reference to Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, the original members of the English rock band Led Zeppelin.

Undead Mother
She was a mother who resided in Windknight's Lot when it was infiltrated and occupied by Dio Brando. Imprisoned by Dio and his undead minions, she begs him to spare the baby. Dio promises to her plea, and turn her into an undead by injecting his vampiric extract into her. No longer a human, she soon after devours her own very baby she tried to protect, while Dio cynically retorts that he did not laid a finger on the baby as he promised, it was her.

Man-faced Dog
A hybrid undead animal. It has body of a dog and a head of a human male. Upon seeing Poco's sister, it encouraged Dio to suck her virgin blood. Dio took offense to his rudeness and killed it.

Inspector Undead
He was one of four policemen summoned by Jonathan Joestar to arrest Dio for his conspiracy to kill George Joestar, Jonathan's father. After Dio turned into a vampire he had blood drained by Dio, died and revived as an undead. He attempted to suck the blood of Robert O. Speedwagon, only to be killed by Jonathan Joestar, who severed his head with a spear.

Bird-Cat
A hybrid undead animal. It has a body of a bird and a head of a cat.

Royal Air Force commander
This undead was one of Dio Brando's zombie that survived even after Dio's centuries of underwater imprisonment after his duel with Jonathan Joestar. He managed to somehow obtain a high position in UK military and hide from others' suspicion: when it ate its victims it carefully devoured its victims down to the hairs, feigning injuries by riding on a wheelchair and almost never going outside. However, he raise suspicion of George Joestar II, discovered his undead identity and tried to expose it, only to be counterattacked by his undead superior and be eaten. Furious at her husband's demise, Lisa Lisa avenges George II by killing the undead commander with her Ripple ability.

Unfortunately, Lisa Lisa was witnessed by British soldiers who knows nothing about Ripple or Dio's undeads. Lisa Lisa was accused of murdering a war hero, condemned to treason and becomes a wanted felon. Only with Speedwagon Foundation's support she was granted a new identity and forced to live a separate life from her son and mother-in-law.

Nukesaku
Nukesaku is an undead henchman of Dio Brando who tried to attack the Joestar Group when they infiltrated deep into Dio's manion and defeated Dio's other Stand minions. Having no Stand, he is used as an easy punching bag and unwilling guide in the mansion. Due to his lack of power he/she suffered abuses from the rest of DIO's agents, being treated as a burden and being degraded given the title 'The Idiot'. After Vanilla Ice, Kenny G. and Telence T. D'Arby are defeated Nukesaku sees the chance to prove his value.

Nukesaku attempts to use his ability to deceive Joestar Group into believing he's an innocent woman trapped in DIO's mansion. But he was easily seen through by the Group (he/she forgot his/her thumbs pointed in the opposite direction when he/she was clasping his/her hands) and was greeted with a punch to the face. He/she is forced to lead the group to DIO and believes that DIO will use this opportunity to defeat the Joestars, but when he/she removes the lid of Dio's coffin, Nukesaku finds itself sectioned to pieces in the coffin instead shortly before Dio kills him.

Sports Maxx/Limp Bizkit
In Stone Ocean arc, the Stand named Limp Bizkit permits the creation of undead people-like creatures, manifesting as tangible spirits that climb out of their corporeal bodies and are thus rendered invisible. Sports Maxx, Limp Bizkit's Stand user, also becomes an 'undead' through the use of his powers and displays strength, speed and hunger similar to vampirically-made undead. This allowed Maxx to dismember his body without pain or injury while also giving him immense strength. After a vicious fight against Ermes, she defeats Sports Maxx. Maxx's body is pummeled to the point that his Stand is lost. Without Limp Bizkit to preserve his zombified state, Maxx crumbles into mush and ceases to exist.
