Throughout the House of the Dead series, zombies are the primary enemies. Though appearing in many different shapes, sizes, and even species, all have the same goal: to kill any living being that crosses their path.

Notably, some zombies have appeared in multiple games. These include Kageo, Ebitan, Murrer, Devilon, and Johnny.

Charles

Aztec:A Muscular zombie which can also use an enormous steel frame.

Aztec II: A Zombie with a military haircut, looking like Guile from Street Fighter. He wears dog tags around his neck, military pants and boots which are identical to those worn by the Rogan Commandos, singlets which are torn at the bottom and fingerless gloves. The four differences of his pants are the lack of knee pads, the left side being intact (with the exception of Yukio), the case being attached to the right side and the pants not being folded in a military style. He acts very similar to Azteca and uses four types of attacks. The first attack is to throw objects such as monitors or water drums. Once that is done or if he does not have any item to start with, he will use any one of the three attacks: lariat, punch or upper cut.

Kageo: A skeletal zombie. Kageo is weak and slow, but in groups he is dangerous.

Rogan Commandos: Rogan's soldiers turned into undead after getting killed by zombies in the building. They are really fast, making them one of the most dangerous zombies in the game. They will either use knives or kicks to attack the player.

Yukio: An elite Rogan Commando who was killed during "Chapter 0". He serves as a miniboss much later in the final chapter and can take far more damage. Interestingly enough, unlike the other zombies in the game he can talk, though it appears that he just says random phrases he once said when he was alive like "We are humanity's last hope!" and "That's for my buddies!".

Raymond: Raymond appears to be some kind of an enhanced version of Johnny or Jack, being pretty muscular and having open muscles (and also skin missing from his face, chest and right arm), wielding a buzzsaw and some sort of a stone piece he uses to sharpen it.

Buzzsaw Zombie

Raymond.

Cain: Cain is a mutant zombie who looks like Mark I or III, but has plant-like features like arms in the form of vines.

Julie: Undead building employee or scientist. It is strange that he has a feminine name, despite looking and sounding male, perhaps it can be a mistake.

Maurice: A zombie in blue clothes and with a skinless mouth who wears a huge axe.

File:Hugh.jpg

Hugh pounces.

Hugh: A bandaged small zombie with an impressive jumping ability who uses a fluorescent lamp or umbrella as a weapon.

Pico: Somewhat reminiscent to Mickey from the second game, this small zombie attacks player(s) with two knives.

Ebitan: A rotting zombie covered in green sludge as a result of being immersed in water for a lot of time.

Koebitan: A slightly smaller version of Ebitan which attacks in groups.

Jack: An double-axe wielding zombie, who is a copy of the Johnny zombies from the second game.

File:Victor.jpg

Barry: A small agile zombie with a maniacal hyena laugh, who is wielding electrical cords connected to the small power box hanging from his neck.

MeetmanA very rare zombie that appears only once in one of the EFI Genome Ward versions. Meetman looks similar to Mark IV but with a bloodied or flayed face and shoes. According to the Japanese official guide, this zombie is actually a gag character of sorts, while his look is directly based on an employee's party costume and makeup.

Acid: Red dripping zombies that crawl on walls and ceilings.

File:Crawler zombie.jpg

Acid zombie.

Murrer: Leech-like creatures.

Devilon: Zombified bats that attack in groups.

Mokin: Zombified vultures often seen around corpses.

The House of the Dead: Overkill

Unlike the first four installments, the cast of zombies - or "mutants" as they're called in this game - almost completely consist of the zombified/mutated/infected residents of Bayou City rather than duplicates of the same reanimated corpses. THis is also the first HotD game to feature female zombies. These zombies range from common civilians, hospital workers, clowns, prison inmates, and law enforcers, varying from location to location. They are armed with knives, hammers, axes, sickles, saws, bottles, riot sticks and shields (police mutants/zombies only), their bare hands, body parts of dead mutants/zombies, and even their own bodies (Pukers only).

  • Commoners: Once innocent townsfolk. They have a pretty variable appearance. Some of them are named:

1. Cade: Is the zombie in a blue polo shirt.

2. Luke: Is the zombie in a red plaid polo shirt.

3. Bret: Is the zombie in a green polo shirt.

4. Leslie: Is the zombie in a lavender t-shirt.

5. Owen: Is the fifth zombie in an orange plaid and blue flannel-lined jeans

  • Doctors: Mutated medical doctors.
  • Nurses: Mutated nurses. They prefer hypodermic needles to any other weapon.
  • Surgeons: Mutants in surgery attire.
  • Patients: Mutated hospital patients.
  • Clowns: Mutated clowns. They can also throw knives in the boss battle with Nigel and Sebastian.
  • Ride Operators: Mutated amusement park workers.
  • Hobos: Mutated old homeless people.
  • Football Players: Mutated members of The Bayou City Roosters football team. Interestingly enough, all of them are fat.
  • Prison Inmates: Mutated criminals in orange prison clothes who appear in the jailhouse and on the train.
  • Cops: Mutated Bayou City police officers. Some of them use riot shields to block gunfire and riot helmets, which make it harder to kill them with headshots. They also share models with mutated prison guards. In the Extended Cut, their models are also used in the slaughterhouse for mutated guards, with the only difference being caps on their heads.
  • Business suit Mutants: While it's unclear who they are exactly, judging by their appearance and id badges on their suits, it can be assumed that they are mutated government agents/researchers/other important figures.
  • Rage Mutants: Strong and fast Mutants. In the Extended Cut version, they can be defeated only during a QTE sequence. In the Wii version, they must be shot or pushed back, before they will bite G and Isaac. Wrestling with them is only avoidable in the Wii version. They have a barcode tattooed on a pectoral and orange pants, meaning they were inmates or test subjects of Formula X. In Extended Cut they also have some design differences, while in the Wii version they appear to have some hair left, in Extended Cut they are completely bald.
  • Pukers: Mutants with bloated bellies that puke acid or explode. Do not shoot if they are close in the Wii version, you will be given a chance to wrestle with them. These mutants are filled with pus, acid, and blood. They can also accidentally harm other mutants. They also have a black version, which is spawned by The Mother.
  • Spawnlings: (Extended Cut only) Mutant babies who can crawl on the walls and attack by leaping head-on.
  • Strippers: (Extended Cut only) Mutated strippers that appear in the Pink Pussycat.
  • Bikers: (Extended Cut only) Mutated members of the biker gang who hang out at Mort's Saloon. They wear t-shirts with an image of a skull with a spade on the forehead.
  • Slaughterhouse Workers: (Extended Cut only) Mutated butchers. They carry cleavers or knives.
  • Flayed Mutants: (Extended Cut only) Mutants that appear in the slaughterhouse without skin, revealing their muscles and intestines.
  • Actors: (Extended Cut only) Mutants dressed in green zombie masks and skeleton suits, appearing only during the spooky house ride in the amusement park. They are not hostile, but can be killed for points and violence meter. They are always gibbed when killed.

House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn

These zombies are similar to the ones in the fourth game. They're deadlier and more dangerous in hordes and are probably the most destructive no matter how they engage. Their movement speed is heightened while crawling and climbing each other forming a zombie wall.
