As for not saying the word “zombie,” I know it's a genre thing, but all the gets frustrated that people keep dancing around the z-word and goes.

The word later came to suggest the vital, human force leaving the shell of a body, and ultimately a creature human in form but lacking the self-awareness, intelligence, and a soul. It was imported to Haiti and elsewhere from Africa through the slave trade.
Texte intégral
Everyone knows the fictional zombies, but fewer know the facts about zombies. To many people, both in Haiti and elsewhere, zombies are very real. They are not a joke; they are something to be taken seriously. Belief in magic and witchcraft is widespread throughout Haiti and the Caribbean, often in the form of religions such as voodoo and santeria.
Haitian zombies were said to be people brought back from the dead and sometimes controlled through magical means by voodoo priests called bokors or houngan. Sometimes the zombification was done as punishment striking fear in those who believed that they could be abused even after death , but often the zombies were said to have been used as slave labor on farms and sugarcane plantations. In , one mentally ill man even claimed to have been held captive as a zombie worker for two decades, though he could not lead investigators to where he had worked, and his story was never verified.
For decades Westerners considered zombies little more than fictional movie monsters, but that assumption was questioned in the s when a scientist named Wade Davis claimed to have found a powder that could create zombies, thus providing a scientific basis for zombie stories. Davis didn't believe in voodoo magic.
But he did believe that he had found something that could poison victims into a zombie-like state: a powerful neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin, which can be found in several animals including pufferfish. He claimed to have infiltrated secret societies of bokors and obtained several samples of the zombie-making powder, which were later chemically analyzed. Davis wrote a book on the topic, "The Serpent and the Rainbow," which was later made into a horror film.
Then again, they might settle on wights, ghouls, mummies or various other words used for nearly identical creatures in RL mythology depending on how exactly you describe them and the type of powers they use and the player's background. Fact is, virtually all readers of fantasy are well aware there are no solid definitions of fantastical creatures. It is not hard to make sure the differences with some more common concepts are remembered.

I'm not sure if any of you will support this technique, but it's an idea. In character dialogue, it makes sense not to use terms that fail to fit in their world. However, when first presenting a creature to the reader, or even in the description of a book, you might want to use a modern world name. Something like this.
1. A New Zeitgeist
Put the name of the creature in the first sentence, and in the next, when describing an action, throw in a modern term to clarify the image in the reader's head. You never have to use it again, but it will stick. It allows the definition to be more flexible, since the reader has only seen the modern title once, and then excepts the modifications afterword.
I'm not sure if that makes sense to anyone outside of my head. Just throwing it out there.

If it shuffles like a zombie, groans like a zombie, and smells like a zombie, then it's a zombie. And probably should be called just that. Using different names makes the most sense to me when you want to emphasize that the thing in your story has a meaningful difference compared to the common archetype of the thing within the genre you're writing in.
If it's an elf, I'd call it an elf, and if it's a dragon, I'd call it a dragon. If you use a new word you also should be introducing a new concept. Otherwise the new word is just junk data that doesn't actually contain any information. Quote from: Nora on March 16, , AM. My tongue has been in my cheek for so long, I've eroded a new mouth.
Zombies: The Real Story of the Undead
Duellists Trilogy as Julia Knight coming soon from Orbit! I think it was well made in Malazan. There is a race called "Eleints" - they are sometimes called like that, but usually just They are no ordinary dragons - so they earned unique name. There are two groups of shapeshifers - and they are also referred to with their distinctive names, because differences between them are huge, but still - in normal talk - many will refer to them only as shapeshifters So how about reffering to your 'zombies' as just simple "undead" but also by their very own distinctive name.
Let's say - a villager will only see a walking corpse because that's what he sees , but someone who knows their true origin will call them with other name.

Even now we can call our zombies in many ways. If they were created by: Disease - they are "The Infected" - just like in World War Z or any modern zombie film Bad soul forcefully taking over dead body - "The possesed" Ripping out ones soul to create mindless servants - "Hollows" or "Ghouls" Ghouls in Heroes of might and magic were created this way - if I remember correctly.
