Zombies are the titular antagonists/enemies of the Plants vs. Zombies video game series.

All of the zombies look exactly the same, except they have different clothes on. They have a huge head, massive eyes, with their jaws open. Some of them appear to be totally bald, while their skin appears to be green.

The zombies are very reanimated, which are very hungry for human brains. The mission of the game is to prevent them from eating the player's brains. All of them have various speed and defense levels.

The creation of all of the zombies started from the most common zombie in the game, the regular zombie, which is also the weakest one. Once the first one was created, all the other ones were made for the game.

As the game progresses, more and more dangerous zombies appear.

They were all voiced by various voice actors, most of them are confirmed.
