Zombie type 1: virus created and sustained, if said virus can keep the flesh from rotting the zombie survives but needs sustenance.
Zombie type 2: created by witch doctors, not actual zombies just drugged, these too need sustenance.
Zombie type 3: created by supernatural forces like possession by a daemon, no sustenance needed but daemons like eating flesh anyways.
Zombie type 4: same as above just except by a psychic human or necromancer, no interest if eating flesh unless ordered otherwise..
Skeleton type 1: possessed by a daemon.
Skeleton type 2: controlled by a human necromancer like puppets on a string,
these skeletons do not need tissues to move, its all done by physic or supernatural forces.
Type 3: tetrodotoxin, found in puffer fish, was used by practitioners of vodu. It has a sort of paralytic/brainwashing effect. The family bury the "corpse", which is subsequently exumed by the houngan and used as a slave. Thus people think their dead relative is a zombie. They aren't actually dead, nor do they rot.
Type 1: Covers your resident evil zombies, also 28 days later zombies, and even your Romero zombies. The first is a mutation, the second is a blood disease, and the third is, I believe, a side effect of some form of alien virus or microbe.
