[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8644234, member: 6788736"] The entry for Zombies expressly and clearly states they can be raised from the dead (and restored to life, not undeath) with Resurrection. There have been canonical examples of creatures who were made undead, being destroyed and then raised (coming back as the non undead, living versions of their former selves) as well. Not sure if any exist post 5E, but certainly in earlier editions of the gmae. JC did post a contradictory tweet, but that tweet doesn't make sense (a Zombie that is destroyed is [B]not[/B] a valid target for Revivify as it's not 'a creature that has died in the last 1 minute', unless - in addition to being a Zombie that was destroyed, it is ALSO a creature that died in the last minute (by virtue of dying, being reanimated as a zombie, being destroyed and [I]then [/I]being targeted with the spell.... all in the space of a minute). Personally I'll take the RAW on Zombies (they can be restored to life by being destroyed, and then Resurrected) and the literal, plain English definition of undead (a creature that is neither alive, nor dead) as my guide.
