Zombies

In Thriller Bark, there are a variety of strange creatures that inhabit the island. The majority of them appear to be Frankenstein monster like creations. It is currently unknown what exactly their true nature is however a common theory until proven otherwise is that they are the creations of Dr. Hogback.

Flora and Fauna
Within the woods and surrounding areas of Thriller Bark are a number of monstrous creatures living in it's depths. They consist of various beasts and monsters commonly found in mythology and horror stories. A number of these have been seen by Nami, Usopp and Chopper lurking in the woods.

Many more creatures were seen lurking in Hogback's mansion disguised as paintings and furniture.

Ghosts
Various ghosts seem to live on the island alongside the other monsters. The first of these to be clearly seen by the Straw Hats was when one suddenly came out of the wall of the kitchen just when Brook was about to perform before them. According to Brook, this spectre is some sort of surveillance for someone. Later it was revealed that this ghost, Perona, was apparently affliated with Dr. Hogback. The ghost reported to the doctor about the crew's bounties.

Ghosts are apparently a native resident of the Florian Triangle. Brook is afraid them despite being a skeleton.

Cerberus
A three headed dog of sorts that Nami, Usopp and Chopper encountered after falling to the bottom of a moat filled with a bunch of skulls. It resembles the legendary Cereberus of greek mythology. It's collared heads consists of two regular dog heads and a fox head situated on the right. It possesses many tails. It is all stitched up and has the number 82 printed on it's side. The fox head is apparently a bit sensitive about being a fox that it tried to mask it's bark after Chopper noticed that it made a different noise from the others. The beast chased the three Straw Hats until it lost track of them when they hid in a tree.

The beast was later seen approaching the rest of the Straw Hats who had finally arrived in the island. Unfortunately for it they weren't as scared by it's presence like the other three. Robin thought it was cute and Luffy planed on eating it. Their reactions to it turned the beast pale with fright.

After a brief bout with Luffy, wherin the Cerberus was slammed into a wall by Luffy, the beast was apparently tamed by the Straw Hat's captain. The beast was later made into steed for which Luffy and Franky rode on. The beast could only comply least risk further injury.

Manticore
A lion with a man's face stitched to it's body that Nami saw. It resembles a manticore, a type of lion with a man's head. It has the number 69 printed on it's hind quarters. Upon seeing this beast, Nami tried to convince Usopp and Chopper of what she saw with a apparently bad drawing (which somewhat looked like Mohji).

Human-faced Trees
Various trees with human faces and limbs apparently stitched directly to their trunks and roots. Three of these have so far been seen frolicking with a number of other creatures in the forest. Two of these have numbers 115 and 56 printed on their trunks.

The tree with the number 115 was later seen drinking with the Unicorn by Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats who weren't at Dr. Hogback's mansion at the time. After Luffy and Franky caught the "Geezer Tree" and the unicorn respectively, Luffy attempted to ask the tree to join their crew. This attempt however was stop by Zoro and Sanji.

Cheshire Cat
A stitched up cat wearing with what appears to be a pilot's cap. It's disturbingly wide grin apparently makes it look like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. It has the number 193 on it's hind quarters. It was first seen frolicking with a number of other creatures in the forest. It was later seen roaming a hallway in Hogback's mansion as Usopp and Chopper were guarding Nami while she was taking a bath.

Giant Earthworm
A giant earthworm with what looks like a human head stitched on to one end. It has the number 159 on it's body. It was first seen frolicking with a number of other creatures in the forest.

Lion-Frog
A small lion of sorts with what looks the lower half of a frog. It has the number 37 printed on it's belly. It was frolicking with a number of other creatures in the forest.

Unicorn
A stitched up horse that looks like a dead unicorn. It has the number 42 printed on it's right side. It was first seen frolicking with a number of other creatures in the forest. It was later seen drinking with the tree with the number 115 by Luffy and the rest of the Straw hats that were traveling with him. It was then caught by Franky.

Zombies
Various Zombies apparently reside in a cemetery located on the island. A group of them attacked the carriage Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were in after Hildon and his companions left them. A great number of these have been seen with numbers either printed on their bodies or on arm bands. The numbers 408, 426, 501, 516, 522, 638, 671, and 730 have been seen on these creatures.

The zombies apparently have distinct personalities of sorts. They are apparently helpful to one another as seen when Chopper knocked one's head off and another handed it back to him. The zombies are apparently afraid of fire and in reply call Usopp a pyromanaic for attacking them with a fire star. Despite normally limping and moaning around like typical zombies, they are capable of running at great speeds. Unfortunately, they tire out easily.

Several more zombies were seen in the dining hall of Dr. Hogback's mansion disguised as paintings. They seem to be attached to walls completely. The numbers 204, 217, and 280 were seen printed on three of these zombies.

Bear's Skin Rug
A bear's skin rug that was first seen in the dining hall of Hogback's mansion. It was later revealed to be some sort of flat Zombie creature during the skirmish with the "Painting Zombies".
