Zombie Axeman (Demon Siege)

Not to be confused with the Zombie Axeman (Dawn of Dreams)

The Zombie Axeman is an undead low-class Genma that appears in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. During the Time Folder crisis in 1582, Guildenstern would create a stronger variant of the Zombie Warrior that would begin patrolling the Undersea Temple and Mont Saint Michel after the Genma had taken control of them.

Appearance

The Zombie Axeman is a humanoid skeleton wearing a disheveled cloth outfit with the sleeves cut off and a brown shirt underneath, and the exposed pieces of its body show only a small amount of flesh left on its body, likely having rotted away. While most features are similar to the standard variant, its outfit and hat exhibit a much darker shade of brown compared to the usual green and orange, with the hat also having a yellow circle painted near the rim. As the name suggests, it replaces the Zombie Warrior's nodachi for a small hand axe.

Behavior

The behavior of the Zombie Axeman mimics that of its weaker counterpart, often hunting in groups and acting on their base instincts to slaughter and feed on any humans they may find. While their attacks are stronger than the standard Zombie Warrior, they wield their hand axe with the same lack of skill or precision, though they are far more likely to string attacks together rather than only swinging their weapon once. It is also capable of performing a jumping downward slash, though this is still fairly easy to defend against. Much like the Zombie Warrior, Axemen are known to let out a large shriek before charging towards their foe for a downward slash when a foe attempts to absorb Genma Souls, though this is also rather easy to defend against.
