Two zombies can be found in the basement of Melzar's Maze. They must be killed in order to obtain the blue key, which can unlock the blue door to progress through the maze.

According to Melzar's notes, the zombies were created as a result of attempting to grow flesh on the skeletons of Crandorian refugees so their bodies could hold a spirit, but this failed as the flesh immediately decayed.
