Let's think of some ideas. Maybe one without killing too many things will pop up.
And sort of, but not the way the rest of you conceptualize them, I think. A flesh magician, myself for example, could puppet a corpse around in a pinch. There's also the notion of the Beguiling Corpse, which is an incorruptible body (read: it doesn't rot) with a bit of spirit attached that allows it freer movement, if not proper sentience. Counter to that would be what I'd call a 'hideous corpse,' where the body is rotting but the spirit is whole-- a haunting in that case, a revenant.
I think both of those qualify for 'zombies,' by what I've understood a zombie to be around here.
