Zombie

Zombies only appear in surface-level biomes during the night time and are one of the first monsters a player will encounter. Their preferred attack pattern is to move towards the player; jumping 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. They will always leave at dawn, even if half-way through attacking a player. Zombies follow 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.

If one wishes to avoid zombies entirely during a Blood Moon, covering doorways with any material such as Dirt or Stone will stop the zombies from entering your home.
