Don't Get Confused: Zombie Definition

The original definition of a zombie is "an reanimated dead corpse", but the modern day era of today shows more of a regular person becoming infected and still retaining their features of a human. I believe that the old definition of being reanimated after death shows more of a resemblance to the Norse myths of the Draugr. They are by definition a walker after death. They retain no traces of their old human form. They are just empty warrior corpses that are EVIL!!! Draugr live in tombs and raise from their graves and attack. These creatures are found in Norse myths as well as the Elder Scrolls Game Franchise.

Major differences: 1. Zombies serve none but themselves and attack humans for their brains, flesh, or to turn them into a zombie. Draugr typically serve who they are reanimated by and are capable of wielding weapons like swords. They can also use magic.
2. They Zombies look like the human they once were, while Draugr are skeletons with flesh and armor.
 3. A "Draugr Apocapypse" would never happen, but a Zombie Apocalypse could.

In a way, Draugr are the Zombies of Norse Myths and fit parts of the definition spot on. That being said, Zombies are the Draugr of modern day time so there is a significant connection.
