Undead[]
Zombie is a specific term, and this category only has two entries, probably due to the name of the category. "Undead" would be a more suitable blanket term that incorporates, zombies, vampires, reanimated corpses (Frankenstein's Monster, etc.) Either that, or Unique Physiology|Zombie|Vampire|Undead etc. is all that's needed.

- Part of the reason this category only has two entries is that most of the appropriate pages have used {{Unique Physiology}} instead of {{Zombie Physiology}}. And Zombie Physiology itself runs through {{Alien Physiology}}. Alien Physiology is the catch all for One-of-a-Defined-Group Physiology and was designed to sort pages in to the various "Physiology" pages. Unique Physiology is specifically for the characters are just that - unique. As such, when the code for it was modified, it was not handled like Alien Physiology. It doesn't look for preexisting Group Physiology categories. Moving the other Zombies - see: Category:Zombies - to Zombie Physiology would be an appropriate first step.
- It also may be worth looking to see if there are any core powers that exist for Zombies as depicted by DC.
- As for Undead... It's an umbrella category that covers vampires, zombies, ghosts, skeletons, etc. See Undead at Wikipedia.org.
- I don't see the use/need of creating an Undead Physiology given how unbelievably varied the physiologies it would cover are. There is though a good argument for Vampiric Physiology - basically replacing {{Vampire Powers}} - and Ghost/Spectral Physiology.

- That makes more sense now that I know how it was designed to work. That can be remedied easily then. I will work on transferring the zombies over when I've run out of things to do.
- I support the idea of having a Vampire and Spectral physiology too. Powers should really be customised to each character, especially when the vampire mythos changes from writer to writer. The vampires in Hitman for example only have a weakness to sunlight and lack many powers the classic vampires have. Arise Etrigan (talk) 22:42, January 14, 2017 (UTC)
