It is unknown whether the Zombie Chickens have any connection to the [[Deny]]s or the [[Minisaurus]]es, other chicken-like creatures found in [[the Glade of Dreams]].

==Appearance==

Zombie Chickens have slightly deformed chicken beaks with cartoony eyes and grey-brown feathers on their heads. They wear long, ripped, brown cloaks and their arms look like [[human]] skeleton ~~ones~~ that are bent in a haunting way.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

The Zombie Chickens appear in levels containing swamp-like elements, such as [[the Bayou]] and [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. They can hurt [[Rayman]] by ~~a simple touch~~, though touching [[Rayman]] ~~will also cause~~ the Zombie Chicken to fall apart. They spawn by seemingly rising up from the ground or swamp water.

There are two types of attack pattern that Zombie Chickens will utilise. Some will actively follow [[Rayman]] and as such must be [[Magic fist|shot]] at in order to prevent damage. Others will simply travel forwards to the area [[Rayman]] was occupying when they spawned, and as such, can ~~simply~~ be dodged by stepping out of their way, but can also be [[Magic fist|shot]] at.

In the ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' manual, it is incorrectly stated that the Zombie Chickens are allies of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army.
