Zombies characteristics vary according to the type of zombie involved. So far within the show there have been six types:
* '''Zombie ([[Necromancy]])''' – A person who has been reanimated through the use of [[black magic]] and (in one instance raised by the demon [[Samhain]]). Upon reanimation, their personalities will remain intact for a time, before becoming increasingly aggressive and attacking those they feel have wronged them in life. The longer these types of zombies exist they are required to consume human flesh in order to maintain their bodies. They are near invulnerable, only affected by [[silver]], and the only way to permanently stop them is by staking them with silver inside their grave beds. When the Plum sisters attempted to raise their dead mother through the ''[[Black Grimoire]]'', the [[spell]] was not performed properly, causing their reanimated mother to be a mindless zombie and "magic proof." Mother Plum, unlike other zombies raised through magic, was able to be put down via a bullet to the head.
::'''See Episodes:''' [[2.04 Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things]], [[4.07 It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester]], [[13.12 Various & Sundry Villains]], and [[14.06 Optimism]]
* '''Zombie (Raised by [[Death]])''' – These zombies are of the more traditional cannibalistic variety. Like zombies raised through black magic, these zombies appeared normal upon being raised from the dead, with their initial personalities still intact. Eventually, they became aggressive and consumed with cannibalistic hunger, losing any trace of humanity they once had. These zombies are capable of being stopped with simple headshots / destruction of their brains.
::'''See Episode:''' [[5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid]]
* '''Croats''' – People afflicted with the demonic [[Croatoan virus]], which was to be used as a part of [[Lucifer]]'s end game for the [[Apocalypse]] by having the humans turn on themselves. Upon contact with the virus people will become wildly aggressive and volatile. While the virus gives the infected seemingly enhanced durability, they can be stopped via conventional means and are not invulnerable.
::'''See Episodes:''' [[2.09 Croatoan]], [[5.04 The End]], [[5.20 The Devil You Know]], and [[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]
* '''Mottled Wretches''' – The people who had an adverse reaction to the [[Leviathan]] food additive. The food additive was an attempt by the Leviathans to make the human population fat and compliant, however there was 0.03% margin of hyperadrenalized cannibalism which transformed them into monstrous cannibals. The term ''Mottled Wretches'' "mottled wretches" was used in the script but not on screen.
::'''See Episode:''' [[7.09 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters]]
* '''Nazi Necromancers''' – Members of the [[Thule Society]] used necromancy to remain youthful and alive for decades. Members of the Thule are capable of being killed via traditional methods, however their bodies must be burned within twelve hours of their deaths otherwise they will reanimate. Unlike typical zombies raised through necromancy, the reanimated Thule show no weakness to silver or a need for human flesh , and they retain their personalities without devolving into unchecked aggression.
::'''See EpisodeEpisodes:''' [[8.13 Everybody Hates Hitler]] and [[11.14 The Vessel]]
* '''The Damned''' – When [[Chuck Shurley]] / [[God]] declares "The End", he He opens up a doorway to [[Hell]] in a cemetery, unleashing the [[souls]] of the damned into the world(aka "[[Hell Ghosts]]"). Many of these souls burrowed under the ground, taking possession of the buried corpses and began exploding from the earth upon possession. It Because they are possessed by ghosts, iron is unclear at present how these zombies will behave or be killedan effective weapon against them, and contact with [[iron]] can jettison them from the corpses. [[Smiting]] and [[angel blades]] are also effective in casting out the spirits.
::'''See Episode:''' [[14.20 Moriah]] and [[15.01 Back and to the Future]]
===Powers and abilities===
* Fire – Nazi necromancers require the complete obliteration of their bodies to prevent being brought back to life.
* [[Silver]] – Zombies raised through necromancy can only be stopped by being staked inside a coffin with [[silver]]. Simple contact with silver will also burn and cause a zombie great discomfort.
* [[Spells]] – [[Rowena]] implies that certain types of magic are capable of stopping zombies. The demon [[Belphegor]] performs a spell using cemetery dirt and angel blood to blast all the [[Hell Ghosts]] out of their possessed corpses.
