Zombie counterpart

The Zombie counterparts are a series of Zombie monsters, identified by having an existing non-ZOMBIE counterpart.

The Zombie counterparts were released in the OCG and TCG in Crossroads of Chaos and Structure Deck 15: Zombie World

Zombie counterparts have no external support, but are highly playable and powerful, particularly "Undead Skull Archfiend"

Zombie counterparts usually have effects similar to their counterparts, but worked to go with the theme of manipulating ZOMBIE monsters you own or control, typically either summoning them, sending them to the Graveyard, or removing them from play out of the Graveyard to trigger effects.

Disputed Cards
There is some debate whether "Dragon Zombie", "Clown Zombie", "Armored Zombie" and "Des Lacooda" should be included in the categorization of this Archetype. They are clearly counterparts of "Crawling Dragon", "Crass Clown", "Zanki" and "3-Hump Lacooda".
