[[Rose Tyler]] called the [[Gelth]], while possessing dead [[human]] bodies, zombies.

In [[1939]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] called the [[SS]] soldiers who had been conditioned by the [[War Lord]]s, zombies. These troops were able to avoid death owing to a literal realisation of the [[Prussia]]n [[military]] phrase, "[[corpse]] discipline": discipline that could make a corpse jump to attention.

They nonetheless harbored a desire to eat people's [[brain]]s, preferably highly developed ones. As they were essentially walking corpses, the zombies kept decaying, and occasionally lost body parts; they did not appear able to feel this when it happened, and would remark curiously on how odd it was that they suddenly found organs on the ground around them.
