Zombie
From YPPedia
- During the Halloween events of 2005 and 2008, players themselves could be turned into zombies. See 2005 Halloween events and 2008 Halloween events respectively for more information.
Zombies are the rumbling equivalent of skellies, introduced with the Ye dread dead event. They can be found in groups on islands. There are various colors of zombies, but these colors are random and have no indication of difficulty.
Zombies are found in groups on islands. Anyone may join if they have 100 PoE. When they are defeated, they distribute 1000 PoE plus all PoE previously lost to them by other players. When defeated, they leave the island.

Finding zombies
Islands with zombies will be dark until they are driven away. A defeat the zombies mission will appear to anyone with all of the following:
- A puzzle standing of Renowned and an experience level of Narrow in rumble.
- At least 100 PoE on hand with which to enter the zombie battle.
Starting up
To enter the fray, pirates must pay 100 PoE to the zombies.
When a pirate chooses to join the fray, a confirmation box will appear reading, "I'll be havin' 100 pieces of eight if ye lose."
More pirates can sign up for the zombie fray than there are zombies. When the fray starts, if there are extra pirates, the zombies will randomly pick a subset of the players, and refund wagers to the rest.
The fight starts once half of the people in the fray vote to start the fight.
Getting Bored
If no frays are started against a group of zombies for a set period of time, the zombies will get bored and begin to leave the island, one at a time. This makes it easier to fill zombie fights should they appear in very large numbers.
The fray
The zombie fray is a lot like rumbles at the inn and sea, but zombies are a bit tougher than most barbarians.
Rumble skills and teaming are essential to a victory.
Victory!
Zombies give the pirates of the winning fray 1,000 PoE per zombie (ie. if there are fewer players than zombies, each player gets more money) and all the PoE lost by others. They also add in a map to a random Atlantis outpost and an item of clothing. Pirates who survive are awarded a zombie hand, which may be held in portraits.
Ye Be Defeated!
If the zombies win, they take everyone's wager to distribute among anyone who beats them.
Thralls
- Main article: Cursed Isles#Enlightened Ones and Zombies
Thralls are a specific type of zombie only seen while attacking the Cursed Isles. Thralls are zombies enslaved to an Enlightened One or pirate. Unlike normal zombies, thralls will fight with either rumble or swordfighting, depending on what kind of combat their master requires them to do. Enlightened Ones and their thralls board vessels attacking a Cursed Isle by colliding their raft with the vessel, then climbing aboard as the raft sinks - once aboard, the thralls either attack pirates or interfere with stations.
Pirates on board may cast a spell, represented by a maneuver which either banishes the thralls, or takes control of them away from the Enlightened One and transfers it to a pirate. When under the Enlightened One's control, the thralls all have names of the form Adjective Zombie, but when controlled by a pirate, their name changes to Piratename's Thrall. If the controlling pirate leaves the vessel, the thrall's ownership transfers to another pirate. Each pirate may only control one thrall, but an Enlightened One may control up to four. If a thrall is eliminated in battle, the control over it is broken, and it leaves the ship.

History
Prior to the release on 2009-05-27, zombies also required an acceptable item to be wagered in addition to the 100 PoE. That requirement was removed and zombies now deal only in PoE.
