The lifespan of a zombie without food depends heavily on the type of zombie in question.
According to the reference provided, zombie survival without sustenance varies significantly based on their origin and nature:
Zombie Lifespan Based on Type
Zombie Type | Lifespan Without Food | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Plague Zombies | Up to a couple of months | These zombies are likely animated by a virus or similar biological agent, so they will eventually decompose. |
Philosophical Zombies | A few weeks | These zombies are essentially reanimated corpses mimicking human behavior, so they decay similarly to humans. |
Magical Zombies | Indefinitely | As long as the magic animating them persists, these zombies can exist without food or rest. |
Therefore, there is no single answer. The duration a zombie can "live" (or, more accurately, remain animated) without food is contingent on the specific lore or fictional universe in which the zombie exists.
