Zombies are a type of monster found in the Clockworks. Zombies do not use their breath attack until tier 2, when they will use it to inflict a status effect but no damage. Unlike many monsters, Zombies do not change appearances as Knights progress deeper into the Clockworks.

Traits

All Zombies are immune to Curse. They are also immune to damage while they crawl out of the ground, either by spawning or being revived. They can also grab enemies with their jump, immobilizing and damaging the player.

Grim Totem

A Grim Totem.
 Zombies will sometimes spawn with a grim totem that emits a ring of purple energy. If a Zombie is killed within this ring, its skull will land on the ground. The next pulse of energy the totem emits will revive the Zombie, accompanied by the graphical display of the word "ARISE!". Totems cannot be destroyed, but they can be carried to other locations. If the totem is removed before emitting a pulse the skull will desintegrate shortly after.

Grim Totems can be found in places as:
