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. Several of them consist of various beasts and monsters commonly found in mythology and horror stories. They are apparently all creations of Dr. Hogback. How he is able to create such monsters is currently unknown.

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.

Classical Horror Creatures
Various creatures on the island seem to be based off from various creatures and concepts commonly found in classical horror stories and movies.

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 was apparently affliated with Dr. Hogback. The ghost reported to the doctor about the crew's bounties.

They all seem to have a strange ability which they can use by passing through a person. Those that have been affected this ability apparently lose their will and fall on their knees in manner similar to Foxy. Robin has noted that these creatures are completely different from the other stitched up creatures on the island. It was later revealed that all these ghosts originate from Perona. Whether this phenomenom is because of the power of a Devil Fruit that Perona may have ate or something else has yet to be revealed.

According to Brook, ghosts are apparently a native resident of the Florian Triangle. He is also afraid them despite being a skeleton.

Semi-Dead Dog
A stitched up dog that was first seen pulling the carriage that carried Nami, Usopp and Chopper alongside the Centaur. It was riden by the Hunchback.

After it pulled the carriage to the cemetery, it along with it's rider and it's companion ran away to somewhere else on Thriller Bark.

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.

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.

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, 417, 426, 476, 483, 501, 516, 522, 529, 597, 629, 636, 638, 671, 730, and 767 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.

Later, the rest of the Straw Hats encountered these creatures however their reactions to them were completely different from the previous Straw Hats. After being completely defeated by the Straw Hats, the zombies inadvertedly revealed to them about their attack on the latter's friends. For this, the zombies were shoved head first back into their graves.

Later, after the Zombies pulled themselves out of the ground, they received orders from Absalom to prepare to attack the Straw Hats. According to Absalom, the zombies don't actually need to fear being burnt, iching or pain as it's just all in their minds as they are dead. They also apparently are not afraid to tell their leader that he is a pervert much to his dismay. The Zombies, with the advent of the attack about to begin, started dancing the disco complete with a disco ball.

Several more zombies are also seen in the dining hall and hallways of Dr. Hogback's mansion disguised as paintings. They seem to be attached to walls completely. They are apparently classified as Suprise Zombies. The numbers 204, 217, and 280 were seen printed on three of these zombies. The Painting Zombies in dining hall as well the Bear's Skin Rug were later defeated by Luffy and the Straw Hats with him.

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" and three of the Straw Hats. Later when the rest of the Straw Hats entered the mansion and fought with the Painting Zombies in the dining hall, it was defeated by Luffy with Gomu Gomu no Bazooka. Luffy upon defeating it also commented that if they weren't enemies he would've asked it to join his crew.

Jack in the Box
A demented looking stitched up clown creature that resides in a box located in Hogback's room. It was discovered by Nami, Usopp, and Chopper when they opened the box in hopes of finding treasure. It has the number 256 printed on it like a tag.

Perona's Stuffed Bear
A strange looking stuff bear that was first seen in Perona's room as her ghosts came back to her body. Perona comments to it that it should talk less if it wants to continue working for her since she finds it's voice uncute.

Three oddly shaped Zombies
A trio of oddly shaped Zombie-like creatures that were first seen reporting before Moria about the Straw Hats' arrival. One looks like some sort of super hero with a bucket shaped head. Another looks like a one-eyed samurai with what appears to be a watermelon for a head. The third one is apparently an archer with a triangular head.

They reported to Moria, with the archer shooting one of Moria's snot bubbles to wake him up.

Mythical Creatures
Various creatures on the island look like they may be based on creatures commonly found in myth and fantasy stories. They are also zombies and look like horror based versions of the creatures they are based on.

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.

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 the Straw Hats take turns riding 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).

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.

Centaur
A skull faced centaur like creature that was first seen pulling the carriage that carried Nami, Usopp and Chopper alongside the Hunchback and the dog it was riding on.

After it pulled the carriage to the cemetery, it along with it's companions ran away to somewhere else on Thriller Bark.

Hunchback
A hunchback of sorts that was first seen ridinng on the dog pulling the carriage that carried Nami, Usopp and Chopper alongside the centaur.

After it pulled the carriage to the cemetery, it along with it's companions ran away to somewhere else on Thriller Bark.

Major Characters
Among the creatures of the island are a number of creatures who seem to stand out more than the rest due to them being named or otherwise. They are listed here.

Hildon
A vampire like creature that met up with Nami, Usopp, and Chopper. He has the number 21 printed over his right eye.

Victoria Cindry
Cindry is stitched up maid of sorts. She serves Hogback and seems to have an interesting history.

Absalom

Buhichuck
The leader of the zombies in the dining room of Dr. Hogback's mansion. He is a pig's head mounted on the wall like hunting trophy. He has the number 298 printed on his forehead. All he apparently has is his one eyed head and his hooves.

Perona
The Zombie Animal and Zombie Ambush Commander of Thriller bark who spied on the Straw Hats and sucked some of their will using a strange ability.

Old Man
A unnamed zombie who was described by Luffy as "an old man with a wound". He did not seem to claim to be a zombie and stated that he was indeed just an old man with a big wound (which the other Straw Hats present yelled to him to just say Zombie to avoid confusions). He is also a victum of Moria's shadow stealing ability and begs for Luffy's help in free all the victums on the island. He has the number 7 on his head over his left eye but it only appears in one close up scene.

Mario
Dr. Hogback's latest creatation, however it is not 'alive' yet as such. He is described as Hogback's greatest work but Cindry just states it would be better if it died upon being woke up.

Ryuuma
A Zombie General. also known as the Guardian. In like he was a famous swordsmen from the new world who slew a dragon. Currently he guard Dr. Hogback's lab. He appears to be a great swordsman as he knocked Ussopp, Nami, and Chopper away witha single move and walked 10-feet away to converse with Cindry before they even realized they were attacked!

Numbers
Many of the creatures on the island have number written on them, the importance of this number has yet to been revealled:

The numbers are usually written on the creature itself - either on the head, stomach, back or side of the creature. A few of the zombies had it written on a band around their arm. So far, there has been a general pattern devleoping, whether this will remain or not in upcoming chapters is yet to be known, but for now:


 * Numbers 1 - 200 appear to be the major figure and freakish hybreds. Or they can be based off of mythical creatures
 * Numbers 200 - 400 seem to contain various object such as paintings and furniture that has been altered into Zombies.
 * Numbers 400 and onwards seem to be the true zombies.
