Zombie

Zombies are hostile mobs that appear in Survival Test, Indev, Infdev, and most probably Zombie Siege. Like other hostile mobs, zombies chase players once the player has been spotted. They usually appear in groups of two or more.

Zombies only spawn in dark areas, such as unlit areas on the surface at night, or in unlit caves. Like skeletons, zombies burst into flames if they come into contact with direct sunlight.

History
In Survival Test as of the September 3, 2009 update, zombies were the fastest mob in the game. The title was lost when Spiders were added to the game. Armored zombies used to appear randomly along with groups of normal zombies. These zombies could easily be distinguished by their body armor and/or helmets. Their armor did not, however, give them any additional hit points; the difference is purely cosmetic. Armored mobs were later removed during the Indev update.
