A zombie rat is a monster only found in Melzar's Maze. It has three versions: small with a normal tail, large, and small with a cut tail. All versions have the same stats. During the Dragon Slayer quest and afterwards, players can kill the small rat with the normal tail to obtain a red key, used to advance in the maze.

The zombie rat is quite similar to the giant rat except with a few cuts, gashes, and a washed-out colour. There are also several other undead monsters in the maze - such as zombies, skeletons and ghosts.
