Zombies were undead monsters that appeared as part of a Random Event, which were discontinued on 25 February 2009. Prior to their removal, whenever any player buried some bones, there was a chance of spawning an aggressive zombie. As with similar guardian random events, the combat level of the zombie was scaled according to the combat level of the player.

Members zombies were somewhat uncommon; most Prayer training took place at a Player-owned house Altar, or the Ectofuntus, both places where the zombie would not spawn. They were more common on Free-to-play, where the only method to training Prayer was to bury bones. When a Zombie appeared, it would yell "Braaaainssss!".
