Zombie

Zombies are very basic monsters that appear in surface-level biomes during the night time only. Their preferred attack pattern is to follow the player, and they are able to jump rather high to accomplish this. They also try to break down Wooden Doors, but can only succeed during a Blood Moon. They do not actually break the door, but only open it. Zombies follow a Fighter AI.

When a Zombie is killed it drops a few copper coins and has a chance to also drop a Shackle, a Heart, or a Star.

At dawn, they will leave, even if half-way through attacking a player.

If one wishes to avoid zombies entirely during a blood moon, covering doorways with any material such as dirt or stone bricks will stop the zombies. They will leave the area at the start of the next day leaving you unharmed.
