I dusted off my 5e books and played a session. Somebody in our party casted charm on a zombie and I mentioned that it wouldn't affect the monster. After doing some research, I couldn't find any rule backing up my assumption.
To be clear, if you do a quick google search there is something stating that "Zombies do not possess minds (they are animated corpses with no personality, memories or motivations of the person they once were). Therefore they cannot be affected by mind affecting spells. The same applies to things like charm and illusion magic." On the other hand, I can't find any mention in the PHB (I checked the Charm Person spell), DMG, or MM.
If there is a rule about this, can somebody tell me where to find it?
