Originating in Haitian slave culture and folklore, the zonbi is a human cadaver reanimated by a vodou priest or priestess. The zonbi then became a servant to the necromancer, making slavery inescapable - even in death.

The word “zombie” has traveled almost as dramatically as the creature itself. English acquired it through Caribbean forms such as Haitian Creole “zonbi”, with deeper roots in African languages. Merriam-Webster compares it with Kimbundu “nzúmbe”, meaning "ghost."
