The Revenant is an older variety of zombie, originating in European folklore. Revenants are less prone to rotting and falling apart than other zombies, in addition to normally retaining intelligence and memories of their previous lives. They are driven by a single burning purpose, most often vengeance or true love, driven by a desire so strong it can overcome even death. In some mythological circles a revenant zombie can be brought back by things such as an improper burial or simply the person in question not realising they are dead and shouldn't be moving around.
While conceptually very old, and the prototype from which many other undead derive, the revenant has largely faded from modern works in favor of more modern breeds of zombie, as well as the bloodsucking vampire and the sorcerous lich. Often Living on Borrowed Time.
Of note is the fact that unlike other types of undead from across cultures and fiction, a revenant could be a fresh corpse, skeletal, or anything in between.
When the character retains not only intelligence, but also good looks, it is Attractive Zombie. May overlap with Friendly Zombie if they are benign and have good intentions. This can also lead into Transhuman Treachery should the zombies decide to think of themselves as a different species from their living/healthy counterparts and/or willingly participate in To Serve Man/I'm a Humanitarian.
See also Ghostly Goals, Unfinished Business, Purpose-Driven Immortality, and Murder Into Malevolence. Compare Vengeful Ghost, for a noncorporeal form of undead often driven by similar urges as a revenant.

Reginald Shoe, a former romantic revolutionary, who after his death in the Ankh-Morpork civil war (or rather, the last substantial one, in Night Watch, not the civil war that overthrew the last King of Ankh) thirty years prior to the present time became a mortuary worker and fervent Death Rights activist. After the events of Feet of Clay, he also became the first (and so far only) zombie recruit of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. He is a highly valued policeman, known for his calm and laconic humour. To quote Watch Commander Vimes, Reg Shoe was a man born to be dead.

Tales from the Crypt:
The show's host the Cryptkeeper may well be one as, while he appears to be a rotting corpse, he still displays a fair amount of intelligence and eloquence, despite some... unsavoury habits.
In "The Thing from the Grave", Devlin comes Back from the Dead to keep his promise to protect Stacy.
In "Doctor of Horror", a mad doctor steals the soul of his assistant who comes back from the dead for revenge.

Riko, the protagonist from Made in Abyss. Although she didn't live a long enough life before being resurrected to actually have any memories from her past, she checks all of the other boxes. Like everything brought back by the curse-warding box, she exists only to reach the bottom of the Abyss. Because she's human and lives in a society where doing so is a fairly normal childhood aspiration, she perceives it as her own goal. For her, though, it's more an overriding compulsion than a normal desire.

In Sunless Skies, running a corpse through a Weft or Unravelling Time can accidently reunite the dead body with its mind, resulting in this trope (albeit not driven by any revenge). The crew of the Boatman discovered that the hard way.

JourneyQuest features Carrow, a cleric that becomes undead after a botched resurrection spell. Having retained most of his personality and memories, he fits in this category. He has still serious troubles with his state, though, since his god is very antagonistic to undead.

The Zombies are revealed to be this in ParaNorman. They're the reanimated corpses of seven people who had the witch of Blithe Hollow put to death, but it turns out they mean the townspeople no harm. Them coming back as monsters was part of the curse Agatha, the witch, laid on them. They feel ashamed at putting an eleven-year-old girl to death for witchcraft and need Norman's help to make amends.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location has Michael Afton, aka Eggs Benedict. The game's true ending has Ennard remove his insides to use his body as a skin suit to escape. The Custom Night cutscenes reveal this didn't work exactly as hoped: eventually Michael's body decayed to the point where it wouldn't be viable. However, once Ennard is ejected Michael sits up with glowing white eyes. The "Golden Freddy" cutscene shows that even he is confused about his survival. This does not mean that he is not going to track down his father (William Afton) to end him. He and Henry make good on that.

The Dragon Age series has Revenants as recurring boss-level enemies: dead bodies of evil people possessed by powerful demons of pride or desire after their death. Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening additionally plays with it, giving us a (benevolent) Spirit of Justice trapped in the decaying body of a Grey Warden named Kristoff, technically making him a zombie of this type.

An unusual sci-fi version of the revenant occurs with the Reifications in Neal Asher's The Polity books, specifically The Skinner and The Voyage of Sable Keech. People who have chosen the unusual step of keeping their deceased bodies after a death which allowed some of their brain or consciousness to survive (as a mind-copy). Most people choose to have their mind copies uploaded into a new human or robotic body, whilst these guys prefer being animated with cybernetics and preserved with chemicals. May or may not have any living parts remaining. A splendid way to have undead IN SPACE.

Kamen Rider Wizard: Koyomi is a corpse animated by the Philosopher's Stone placed in her chest. She's outwardly indistinguishable from a regular human, but has no soul and requires regular infusions of mana from a wizard to survive, usually the title character. As the series progresses she starts requiring more and more mana to function, and her hand begins degrading even with the infusions. Unlike other examples, she doesn't even get any special powers out of the deal.

Nanashi in Duel Savior Destiny is referred to as a zombie girl, but she's really closer to this. She reanimated herself and when undead in this series raise themselves it's because of some sort of Ghostly Goals. Unfortunately for her, Nanashi has no clear memories so she can't recall if she really does have any goals like that. She doesn't. She's not undead at all, she's actually a homunculus created via alchemy.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare has John Marston become this after completion of the main story — this is stated to be because he was buried with a flask of Holy Water, giving him the body of a zombie but the soul of a man. His appearance in this state strongly implies that his death in this alternate timeline is the same as in the original game, with him retaining some of the bullet wounds from being shot by Ross' firing squad, and running lopsidedly due to being shot in the leg, as well as his default pose being the same stance he held after he was riddled with bullets.

The Freeport Venture: Revenants are intelligent, if single-minded, undead obsessed with righting wrongs they suffered in life. In Freeport Venture: Blood and Iron, a pegasus revenant with metallic wings appears an elite soldier in an undead horde, and is single-mindedly obsessed with killing Starlight in revenge for Starlight having apparently killed her friends. In life, it was the Rainbow Dash from the Sombra timeline seen in "The Cutie Remark", which was retconned out of existence by Starlight and Twilight, and was part of a small group of undead "survivors" who went to the "main" timeline for revenge.

RoboCop features a sci-fi version of the Revenant with a murdered cop getting brought back as a cyborg and trying to arrest his murderers.

You play as one in Dark Souls, and most of the characters you meet are similarly Undead. In this case it's a curse that gave them undeath, not a driving purpose, although it has been implied that a strong sense of purpose can stave off the process of Hollowing (which causes the Undead to lose its mind and become uncontrollably violent) and a feeling of having lost this purpose will cause them to go Hollow.

Of all the zombie types listed, those from Undead or Alive more closely resemble the revenant. However, they become zombies due to the "White Man's Curse" cast on them prior to the death of Geronimo in the Wild West, they can only be killed by having their heads removed, and the curse is curable by eating the living flesh of the person who cast it.

Shantae: Zombies can stay intelligent by drinking coffee. Case in point: Shantae's "ally" Rottytops, who is more or less a green human with a fondness for brains. She and her brothers are considered "bad news" around Sequin Land. Rottytops is quite fond of Shantae (although whether it's for her brains or morale is up to the player) and will help her on occasion.

Pillars of Eternity gives us Death Guards, who are people so devoted to a cause they basically refuse to die. While they don't go mindless like other undead, they usually end up entirely defined by said cause. (The term Revenant is used in game for regular zombies which don't count, being typically mindless and shambling)
In the first game, Starter Villain Lord Raedric comes back as one after you kill him the first time, desiring revenge and the end of Waidwen's Legacy.
In the second game, two Death Guards appear. Yseyr the Berathian is a paladin of the death god Berath, granted undeath by his god to protect a sacred sword from the other Death Guard Lucia Rivan. Lucia is devoted to restoring the noble house of Darcozzi. The impossibility of this goal has unhinged her and made her descend into Piracy.

The zombies from Corpse Bride fall into this category, since they retain memories of their past lives, are as intelligent as the living, and don't appear to rot (if they do, the process is gradual enough to not notice). However, they don't follow the "driven by a purpose" aspect since, when one dies, they're instantly sent to the Land of the Dead instead of coming back to life in the Land of the Living. The only one who follows the "driven by a purpose" aspect is Emily, the titular Corpse Bride, who was murdered on the night she was to elope with her lover, and made a vow to wait until her true love came to accept her hand in marriage.

A Revenant appears in the Supernatural Season 2 episode "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things". She is reanimated by an ancient Greek spell, exactly as she was in life with the exception of superhuman strength, virtual immunity to physical damage and a single-minded focus on punishing her boyfriend and the woman with which he was cheating on her.

The movie adaptation of Dylan Dog has Dylan's sidekick come back as a zombie after one monster or another kills him. It takes him quite some time to get the message that he is a zombie. Without adequate care and counseling, it is stated that he could end up like a Romero zombie.

The Forsaken in World of Warcraft are basically revenants with some ghoul aspects, although there are a few Banshees and Abominations in their ranks. High ranking members of the Scourge (Liches, Death Knights and the like) mostly fit as well, as they retain a large amount of their personality and individuality. As a whole, the Forsaken have an organized goverment and are willing to make alliances (usually making them the Token Evil Teammate). They retain the memories of when they were alive, but most of them show no emotional attachment to them anymore.

Owen Harper is killed in Series 2 of Torchwood and is resurrected as this in the next episode. He retains his personality, memories and mindset completely intact, and on the surface he still looks completely like a physically normal and living man, but his brain is about the only organ in his body that's still alive. That being said, he's not really driven by a specific purpose of his own volition in this state — actually, an entire episode is dedicated to him struggling with the way he now is and generally feeling depressed.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: A human who revives as a Bugster is essentially this, having become a living computer program given physical form by the same virus that killed them. They're outwardly human with no visible differences, but can use the Super Prototype versions of the main ten Gashats, which cause bodily harm to humans, as well as being able to enter the worlds of video games at will. The downside is that things which harm computer programs can hurt them as well.

The 'Puppets' of Thief: Deadly Shadows qualify as revenant types mainly because they were brought back to life by the sheer malevolent will of the Shalebridge Cradle and because, when not chasing down and killing intruders, they mindlessly repeat the same actions they performed in life (an obsessive compulsive painter continuously straightens and restraightens paintings) or wander areas relevant to their habits (i.e. the cannibal haunts the dining hall, the arsonist hangs around near the fireplace etc).

Misfits has an interesting example at the end of Series 3, where three characters the main cast had killed are returned to the living world as fully physical, corporeal entities, until they are able to fulfill some kind of Unfinished Business. In the case of Tony and Sally, the latter believes that their Ghostly Goals are to get revenge on the Misfits, but the two discover that what they needed to do was become reunited with one another. As for Rachel/Virtue Girl, her goal really did turn out to be revenge. Once their goals are completed, they vanish in a flash of light.

Ghost Whisperer had "step-ins", souls who posses very recently dead bodies, usually out of love. The problem is if the transfer's successful the soul loses its memories and, not knowing why its doing things like stalking strangers, eventually goes insane and commits suicide. For example, a guy who possessed a badly damaged corpse whose "owner" really didn't appreciate being body-jacked (this was before step-ins were properly explained), a guy who entered a man's body to reunite with his girlfriend but didn't remember why he kept stalking her, and main character Melinda's husband, who eventually regained his memories after a near-death experience. The explanation was provided by the ghost of an insane asylum's doctor who talked to living patients while they were having electroshock therapy in order to drive them more insane and become step-ins themselves because he wanted to find a way to become one without losing his memories.

In Black Butler, this turns out to be the type of zombie that the Undertaker is creating. The cinematic record of a person's life ends with their death, but by attaching a new cinematic record to that end would reanimate the corpse. The inital zombies created had pointless records attached and were nothing but mindlessly stumbling around bodies that ate living people. But by attaching a cinematice record that is based on the desire, dreams, and hopes the person wanted to accomplish in life, the corpse becomes intelligent and basically indistinguishable to regular, living humans. The Weston College arc features Derek as being one of them, though his amount of sanity lasts for less than a minute. The vice principal Agares is a much more successful version, with nobody able to realize he's a reanimated corpse. His only downside was being rather clumsy. But by far the most successful yet is the real Ciel Phantomhive, the older twin brother of the protagonist. His physical growth rate was even matched to his twin's.

The main cast in Zombie Land Saga were revived as zombies by Kotaro.

The protagonists of the film and graphic novel series The Crow are classic revenants who are brought back to life by the title bird in order to seek justice for themselves and the people they loved. As long as the bird is alive, and as long as they remain focused on their quest for revenge and do not develop emotional ties to the living, they can heal any wound dealt them and cannot be killed. They also have the ability to cleanse others of whatever poison is in their systems, they can see through the eyes of the bird, and they have some measure of psychometric ability in regards to things that remind them of their former life and what happened to them, as well as the ability to transfer any memories they have by touch.

Pathfinder also has revenants — vengeful murder victims who seek out their murderers, and receive massive bonuses against them. In second edition, they're one of the very few non-evil undead — unless you're their murderer, or are trying to keep them from exacting their vengeance, they'll have no interest in attacking you.

In the Rules Cyclopedia version of Dungeons & Dragons, the literal "revenant" monster is actually an evil spirit possessing a corpse; it's immune to low-level spells and even low-powered magical weapons, has a save-or-die poisonous touch to go with its claw/claw/bite routine and some spell-like abilities including finger of death and animate dead (which it likes to use in combination), can summon 1d4 spectres to its aid once per night, and for its perhaps strangest ability may about once per encounter suddenly jump up to sixty feet. All in all dangerous, but despite the name not so obviously an example of this trope... although, since the write-up is silent on where the spirit actually comes from and what its motivations might be, it could like many other intelligent undead in the game be turned into one if desired.

Mortal Kombat:
Scorpion was returned to life by Quan Chi as a revenant, hell-bent on getting even with his rival Sub-Zero, whose clan destroyed his clan and killed his family. Mortal Kombat 9 sees most of the heroes of the series turned into revenants, as well. In Mortal Kombat X, a few of these revenants, including Scorpion, return to life — and when Scorpion learns that Quan Chi, the guy who made him a revenant, was the one responsible for killing his family, there is Hell to pay. However, by killing the sorcerer that made the revenants, he killed any possibility of restoring their humanity, minus Kung Lao in his non-canon Arcade ending.
As of Mortal Kombat 11, the remaining revenants choose to side with Kronika so that she can create a timeline without Raiden, whom they blame their deaths for. Also, Scorpion's past self survives the time merger, and is enlisted by Kronika to help her rewind time, with the promise that she'll restore his family and clan.

The zombies in Skulduggery Pleasant will slowly decompose and will follow any order given by their master, but they retain all their memories and their personality. This gets played for laugh when Vaurien Scapegrace is zombified and order to bite some mortals and turn them into zombies — because they retain their personalities, the members of the zombie horde act like average people, at one point bickering about whether or not flesh or brains would taste better.

Some of the infected in All of Us Are Dead may retain some aspects of their humanity, particularly their personality as a human. Granted, these "hambies" (as they are called) are still driven to bite humans like their fully infected counterparts, but at least one of them, Choi Nam-Ra, does her best to fight these impulses, to the point of biting her own flesh and departing from the group of protagonists to keep from endangering them.

Revenant-type undeads often figure in the The Icelandic Sagas. They are basically living corpses rising from their graves, are often supernaturally strong, and can drive animals and people mad or make them sick by their mere presence. Some examples:
Grettir from The Saga of Grettir the Strong, fights and kills two undead: Kár, a haugbui (barrow-guy), and Glámr, a draugr — the most vicious and aggressive kind of undead.
In Eyrbyggja Saga, Thorolf Twist-foot turns into a draugr after death.
In The Saga of the People of Laxardal, Hrapp turns into a draugr after death.

The Undead in Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures are sapient and most retain their personalities and previous knowledge, despite varying degrees of decay.

Doom
Doom II introduces Revenants that the manual states are demons rebuilt and rearmed with a homing missile launcher (the appearance and pain sounds imply that Revenants are specifically derived from dead Imps), and while they may not have the best AI they certainly retain their original "single burning purpose": kill that pesky Space Marine! The Former Humans themselves also fit this trope more than the typical zombie, being reanimated by demonic possession (and smart enough to use their former weapons).
Doom (2016) ups the ante: in this continuity, Revenants are made from human volunteers who are butchered and cybernetically augmented without anesthetics, then zapped with unfiltered demonic energy until they expire and almost immediately come back to life from said energy — all in order to be used as a Super-Soldier.

Though in Monstrous Regiment there are the standard shuffling zombie kind in the form of former soldiers in the castle catacombs, being kept alive by the Duchess who in turn is being kept alive by all the prayers sent in her direction as opposed to the Gods. Reginald Shoe actually observes them and says that they could be rehabilitated with some effort. It should be noted that Reg also says that of the perfectly ordinary dead inhabiting the graveyards. Elsewhere in the book these zombies are described as mere memories on legs.

Though not a recurring character, Witches Abroad features Baron Saturday who was revived as a zombie by a local witch. Other than the method of revival, he doesn't differ from any of the other zombies in Discworld, not going about eating brains or human flesh or what have you. (And it's stated that the ritual to create a zombie depends on the dead person co-operating.) He just happens to become the embodiment of Voodoo magic, a consciously created god, and a Captain Ersatz of our world's Baron Samedi.

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, Darth Revan himself becomes one of these after he's killed at The Foundry by Sith-Imperial forces. His light-sided spirit stays around as a Force Ghost, but his body is controlled only by his darker side.

In Sound Horizon's "Märchen", the eponymous man is brought back into the world to enact revenge. He can't exactly remember who he's supposed to be enacting revenge against, so he just goes about granting the opportunity for revenge to whatever wronged soul is seeking it. One of these souls also becomes a revenant, returning to the landlady who cut out her liver to take it back (or, more accurately, get a replacement).

Kamen Rider:
Kamen Rider 555: The zombie-like Orphnochs fall under this, since the natural process of becoming an Orphnoch usually involve physically and/or emotionally traumatic deaths. There are others who are forcibly killed to kickstart the process by another Orphnoch, but those who do succeed in surviving the forced transformation are classified as weaker. Likewise, not only do they retain their intelligence and personality, effectively still being the same person, but even can alternate between their monster and original human forms. The "decaying" part of being a zombie comes from their (literally) ashen complexion in monster form, as well as any sign of actual decay in either form shows up as eroding. Orphnochs tend to turn to ashes within a few months to years of the transformation, and using the Faiz or Kaixa Drivers makes it even faster.
Kamen Rider Double: The Necro-Over process turns recently deceased humans into living corpses which retain their intelligence and personality, along with gaining superhuman strength and durability, but no longer produce body heat and require regular injections with a special bio-stimulant to survive. A different bio-stimulant can allow the Necro-Over to age normally into adulthood. While the process also seems to make them more compatible with Gaia Memories, the monster-making Psycho Serum of the year, it comes with the downside that a Necro-Over who uses a Memory to transform doesn't get a Last Chance Hit Point like human users do.
Kamen Rider Wizard: Koyomi is a corpse animated by the Philosopher's Stone placed in her chest. She's outwardly indistinguishable from a regular human, but has no soul and requires regular infusions of mana from a wizard to survive, usually the title character. As the series progresses she starts requiring more and more mana to function, and her hand begins degrading even with the infusions. Unlike other examples, she doesn't even get any special powers out of the deal.
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: A human who revives as a Bugster is essentially this, having become a living computer program given physical form by the same virus that killed them. They're outwardly human with no visible differences, but can use the Super Prototype versions of the main ten Gashats, which cause bodily harm to humans, as well as being able to enter the worlds of video games at will. The downside is that things which harm computer programs can hurt them as well.

Book of the Dead (2021): Ordinary minions are just mindless puppets controlled by the Necromancer, but Tyron knows that intelligent minions are a possibility at much higher levels. After he gains access to ghostly minions and an improved form of bone stitching, he spends some time in The Madness Place and independently rediscovers the Bone-Soul Melding skill, allowing him to bind a soul to a skeleton in such a way that it can control the skeleton but is controlled in turn by him. Unlike a regular minion, the resulting revenant utterly hates him, but is still enslaved to his will, and retains access to the skills it had in life, making it orders of magnitude more deadly.

Doom (2016) ups the ante: in this continuity, Revenants are made from human volunteers who are butchered and cybernetically augmented without anesthetics, then zapped with unfiltered demonic energy until they expire and almost immediately come back to life from said energy — all in order to be used as a Super-Soldier.

The Scar by China Miéville has the described but never-seen city of High Cromlech, where all of the upper class and an overall majority of the population are Revenant Zombies. There is a living working class, but as soon as people get any chance of social climbing they have themselves killed and raised. The city's language apparently consists entirely of quiet wordless sounds, capable of being created by someone whose mouth has been sewn shut to stop their spirit escaping and whose lungs have mostly decayed. Typically for Miéville's tendency to reject generic fantasy morality, it's implied to be one of the most just and peaceful societies in the world.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, this is the case for people who are resurrected with the flames of Rh'llor retain their consciousness and memories (although they seem to increasingly lose identity if resurrected more than once). They are also shown as devoted to carrying out goals they held in life, albeit in a more extreme/singleminded version than they did when alive. There's also the character known as Coldhands, who appears to be a unique example of a wight that retained humanity and also appears to have an element of the singlemindedness (he was a member of the Night's Watch in life and remains loyal to it).

Pathfinder: Kingmaker: Jaethal is an elf who became a follower of Urgathoa, goddess of the undead and hedonism. After being murdered by a follower of Pharasma (goddess of death and an enemy of the undead) following her banishment from her homeland for sacrificing several members of her own family in an Urgathoan ritual, she was raised as undead by her goddess as an Inquisitor. It's never stated what, exactly, she is, but her body doesn't rot, and she doesn't need to drink blood or stay out of the sun, and she learns to raise others as undead like herself during her companion quest.

Golden Wind: A heroic example occurs with Bruno Bucciarati, who accidentally ends up as a Revenant zombie thanks to Gold Experience pulling his soul back after his death and his own determination. While he's still the same as before and can even use his Stand, he's no longer capable of healing, and he slowly decays over the course of the story until his body finally fails him. He manages to outlast his old body's final death for a while longer due to Silver Chariot Requiem's Body Swap powers, but he ultimately dies once he destroys the rogue Stand to save Trish and hand Giorno the Stand Arrow to defeat Diavolo.

The undead in Santa Clarita Diet all start off this way, but their minds and bodies start physically deteriorating after a few days, eventually degrating into feral rotting corpses. However, the protagonists discover a serum that, once administered, can permanently halt the process, but not reverse it. Sheila takes the serum a few days into the decay, and can physically pass as human when fully clothed (as one of her toes fell off).

After being killed, Jarad forced himself back to life through a combination of necromancy and sheer force of will, all in order to save his son from a demon-god called Rakdos. Having successfully saved his son, Jarad can now be seen in the card art for Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord.

Code Vein: Despite clearly being intended as essentially vampires, the protagonists of the game are reffered to as Revenants and, blood thirst aside, do have more in common with this trope than they do with vampires: they are created by implanting a parasite into a dead human being that grants Resurrective Immortality, along with various other super-human abilities, with the intention to create an army of undying super-soldiers in the war against the Aragami. The blood-drinking was a side-effect the scientists couldn't figure out how to cure.

In Fairy Tail, Keyes' ultimate goal is to create an undead puppet who is virtually indistinguishable from a living human. He ultimately achieves this with Silver, Gray's father, who has been dead for 17 years but looks exactly as he did when he was alive. The one thing that's kept him going for so long is his intense hatred of the demons who killed him and his family, which is replaced with a desire to die when he realizes his son is alive.

Son of the Sannin has Naruto creating reinforced shadow clones containing the consciousnesses and chakra signatures of the five jinchuriki killed over the course of the story (Gaara and Fu having both been Spared by the Adaptation). While they're not alive by any sense of the word, they're nonetheless able to fight alongside him during the final battle. Subverted later, as Obito's use of Rinne Tensei towards the end of the battle ends up bringing them back to life in full.

The Unsent in Final Fantasy X are a heavy-duty version. They're dead people who are driven to complete a task or take care of their unfinished business. Many who die violently in Spira end up going insane and becoming fiends, but an Unsent retains their human form and sentience through sheer force of will and nothing short of completing their task or a Summoner's ritual will send them to the afterlife.Auron reveals himself to be one of the rare good Unsent in the game close to the end. Though if the player pays close enough attention, it's hinted at earlier on when Yuna is sending another spirit and Auron grunts and falls to his knees, resisting her sending. For whatever reason, the rest of the party seem to fail to notice that one of their own is doubled over, in pain, on the ground.

In The Nekropolis Archives, the protagonist Matthew Richter is a revenant zombie who retains his memory, personality, and free will. This is highly unusual, as most zombies in Nekropolis are either of the ravenous flesh-eating time or the mindless voodoo servant type.

Clara Oswald in Doctor Who ends up in a science-fictional analogue to this state, as the Doctor's bungled attempt to save her life leaves her as an unaging, undead, walking time paradox who can survive indefinitely but will eventually have to return to the moment of her death and die, or risk destroying the universe.

Doom II introduces Revenants that the manual states are demons rebuilt and rearmed with a homing missile launcher (the appearance and pain sounds imply that Revenants are specifically derived from dead Imps), and while they may not have the best AI they certainly retain their original "single burning purpose": kill that pesky Space Marine! The Former Humans themselves also fit this trope more than the typical zombie, being reanimated by demonic possession (and smart enough to use their former weapons).

In Last Res0rt zombies are created when someone's soul shatters and they die before they manage to reassemble it, once reanimated they fixate on their last living thought, which usually appears to be for revenge. Especially, it appears, when their manner of death is what shattered their soul, such as getting an efreet shot through their skull or death by tone.

Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. has many zombies come back with their memories and personality intact. Including Dan himself, so he can avenge his, Cheyenne's, and a few other murders. And maybe stop that necromancer using short-lived golem in his sweatshop, making shoddy merchandise. But does everyone have to call him Shambles? At the end of the book, the villain, who caused all the trouble because he hates the "unnaturals" and wants them wiped out, is executed by lethal injection... and gets a much worse punishment, as he rises from the table, having become a zombie himself.

Another unusual version of revenants is the Harrowed from Deadlands. They are re-animated by demons, who are capable of possessing them when it's least needed and wreaking havoc. Most times, however, the Harrowed are normal revenants with the same souls and personalities they had in life (only angstier).

The title zombie in the Flash game Sonny is an interesting variation. While he's sentient, he has no memory of his past. He does meet a few others (Veradux and Felicity) who apparently have the same condition as he (and probably don't have the memory loss). There are also other conventional zombies, and then there's the MegaCorp that is tasked on terminating them and do not give a damn that they are different.

The Shadow Isles champions of League of Legends are all some shades of this — dead persons revived and unable to pass on. Yone also counts; though dead, he killed a demon as it was attempting to return to life in his body and now walks the line between this world and the next.

When Reason Fails: Stalkers are revenants that return from death because of the intense love they feel for someone else (called their Bonded). They retain their human appearance, but only require affectionate/romantic contact with their Bonded to remain alive, which causes the Stalker to be completely devoted to their Bonded. The main problem with them is that they tend to slowly evolve into Yanderes that are willing to do anything to keep the Bonded all to themselves, even murdering the latter's friends. The only way to kill them is if the Bonded dies or genuinely stops loving them, and even then, it's not permanent — if the Bonded ever feels even a bit of nostalgia for the Stalker, the latter will return from death. Ochako is a Stalker, with Izuku as her Bonded, but according to Shoto she's the most high-functioning Stalker he's ever seen, since she's actually willing to share Izuku with Himiko — even after she went berserk because The Masquerade kept them from being affectionate with Izuku for what might have been years.

The eponymous zombies in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island are revealed to be a Red Herring for the film's true villains, seemingly kindly people that are secretly were werecats and have been luring victims to their island for decades to drain the life from them. Their victims couldn't move on, and every year on the night of their latest sacrifice they reconstitute their corpses to try and scare away new victims. Unfortunately, though their motivations are clear, they're otherwise incapable of communicating this clearly, so they haven't been successful until the events of the movie.

In Brenna Yovanoff's debut novel The Replacement (which is about the trials of a changeling boy who was kept alive by the love of his sister and wants to stop his girlfriend's kid sibling from being sacrificed) any changeling kid who is not kept alive can become this, if you dig them up and say the right words. The Morrigan's court is populated by these, called "the blue girls", who mostly act just like normal humans — except for the fact that they died when they were only babies, and grew up. Also, they're rotting. One girl is described as having a mouth full of maggots, another has her collarbones showing. And another one likes to play with the gash on her throat — which the parents of the girl she was switched for cut there themselves at the crossroads underneath a full moon.

Shadow's wife, in American Gods, is brought back as one of these after Shadow unwittingly leaves a very special gold coin in her grave during the burial. She is still decaying (slowly, thanks to the formaldehyde), but retains all her memories and love for Shadow. It gives them a chance to say goodbye and make peace with how she died (and with whom) before she dies again in a partly successful Heroic Sacrifice against Loki/Mr. World.

While the various forms of walking corpses in Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi are almost universally mindless, there are a few exceptions:
Wei Wuxian manages to create the first sentient fierce corpse from his one-time saviour Wen Ning, who was beaten to death in a prison camp and later resurrected as a normal mindless corpse and ordered to revenge himself on his abusive guards. After months of experimentation, Wei Wuxian manages to restore his consciousness, whereupon he regains his memories and timid personality (albeit with inhuman physical strength and speed), although he still has a mindless berserker mode Wei Wuxian can activate to serve as his bodyguard.
Following in Wei Wuxian's footsteps, Xue Yang manages to turn his defeated enemy Song Lan into a sentient fierce corpse as well, though he renders him mindless and obedient through skull-piercing nails. Wei Wuxian later removes those nails, returning him to consciousness.

GURPS:
GURPS Horror features a revenant which is more or less a ghost that possesses a body so that it can complete an unfinished task. The body in question can either be rotting (as per a typical zombie) or preserved (like a normal non-dead human).
One character in GURPS Warriors is a revenant zombie, a marine seeking revenge on the rest of his squad who killed him out of greed. However, because it didn't come with an instruction manual, he thinks he's a voodoo zombie, and does things like avoid churches because he assumes he can't enter them.

When We Dead Awaken by Henrik Ibsen closes in on this trope. Irene, former model for the protagonist Arnold Rubek, shows herself in a white attire, staring at Rubek with "empty, expressionless eyes", and is constantly followed by a nun. She stresses that she has been dead for quite a long time, but has an errand to Rubek, whom she also reckons as "dead". Even the title of the play spills into this territory. It is, however, unclear whether she is actually dead, or just clinically insane.

Baldur's Gate: The Valley of the Tombs contains a revenant obsessed with reclaiming the dagger that Alatos used to kill him. If the player hands it over, he dies permanently and at peace, and the dagger can be reclaimed from his corpse. If the player refuses, they'll find that he's vastly stronger than entry-level undead like skeletons, level 15 and with nearly a peak human STR score.

Charlie Nash became this upon his return in Street Fighter V, returning from his presumed death and loss of nearly half his body in his Street Fighter Alpha 2 ending. Though he was found and rescued just in time to still have some life left and eventually resume walking about and fighting thanks to the enhancements of a strange skin-grafting recovery operation, he's been written off as dead for a few years and what's left of his natural body for the most part is physically dead and won't be holding up forever, not to mention his sole desire is to engage in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against M. Bison for killing him. It's then revealed through Urien's prologue story as well as the main cinematic story that he DID actually die and The Illuminati used a prototype of one of its own projects to temporarily revive him because they want Bison dead as much as he does. For all intents and purposes, that "Paradoxical Avenger" title he has now means exactly this trope. Nash still had his own right mind as opposed to acting like a typical zombie; the murderous hatred against Bison was already building even before the incident in which he was killed, and after being shown his own weakness and receiving help from his old friends, his previous calmer persona was restored.

One can create a Revenant with powerful magic in the New World of Darkness; external forces can also construct one. A Revenant has certain supernatural powers, but their Virtue and Vice are replaced with Passions, which they must act on each day or eventually the power holding them to this world will dissipate. Otherwise, they're effectively mortal. Their antecedents were the Risen of the oWOD's Wraith: The Oblivion; in order to become one, a wraith had to strike a deal with their Shadow, which would enable them to climb back into their corpse and pursue whatever goals brought them back to the lands of the living.

In Portlandtown The Hanged Man is sapient, capable of speech, and motivated by a desire to get his gun back and to kill those he feels wronged him.

The ghost lore in Expiration Date includes a phenomenon where a person will die and not notice, effectively a case of ghostly possession where the ghost is possessing their own dead body. Usually the ghost realizes what happened pretty quickly, and in most cases the shock is enough to make them let go of the body and move on, but a person with sufficient Unfinished Business may hang on even then. A significant supporting character in the novel was killed by the villain years before the novel opens, but is still hanging around; he has retained all his mental faculties, but even with the precautions he's taken, his body is not holding together as well as it used to.

The Buffyverse occasionally depicts this type of zombie, most overtly in the Angel episode "Provider". The undead juvenile delinquents in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Zeppo" are raised by Voodoo rituals but act like this version.

Merlin (2008): Tristan de Bois is risen as this via necromancy, though he's referred to as a wraith. He can ambulate perfectly and is driven by desire for revenge on Uther, but he's really a desiccated corpse underneath the suit of armor.

Resident Evil Village: Towards the end of the game it is revealed that Ethan Winters actually died when he was first attacked by Jack Baker in the previous game, but a combination of the Mold infection he unwittingly picked up there and his own insane determination to save Mia caused him to rise from the dead. His body is effectively a humanoid fungal colony being piloted by his consciousness, hence his ability to endure punishment and perform feats far beyond what normal humans should be able to endure.

Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse: Wormwood is a hybrid of this and the Parasite Zombie: he's an extra-dimensional grub-like creature who possesses and manipulates human bodies, but he's an independent and fairly moral person with no interest in reproducing himself or attacking random people.

Brandon Heat/Beyond the Grave of Gungrave was raised from the dead via a special reanimation process (Necro-Rise/Necrolyzation), a process that revives the dead as zombie-like beings (which throws a bit of Artificial Zombie in the mix). Seeks revenge on his killer and the syndicate that betrayed him. Possesses a powerful self-healing ability, at the cost of losing almost all emotion and memory of his mortal life. The difference between him and other people brought back this way is that he retains a sense of self and will of his own. He can't spread his condition to others, and doesn't require food. However he needs complete transfusions of his rare blood type or else his body rots and falls to pieces. Interestingly, this issue, in the anime, is on PURPOSE... there is a better way to use Necro-Rise.

Ayumu Aikawa from Is This A Zombie? is this type of zombie, as is the first-season Big Bad. They could easily pass for human, aside from not being able to go out in sunlight without their bodies rapidly dehydrating.

The Buckners in The Cabin in the Woods. While they have the rotting appearance of regular zombies, this is more because they're a clan of "pain-worshiping backwoods idiots" who horrifically tortured themselves to death only to be revived when Dana read the Latin in Patience Buckner's diary out loud. They subject the college kids in the titular cabin to the same tortures they inflicted on themselves, proving more than smart enough to saw Jules' head off, swing a bear trap on the end of an Epic Flail, or hide and get the jump on them. Notably, the Controllers draw a sharp distinction between the Buckners and regular old zombies, as one of them finds out the hard way when, as part of the Side Bet that the staff have going, she bets on the kids unleashing zombies only for Sitterson to inform her that the Buckners are actually the "zombie redneck torture family".

Kamen Rider Double: The Necro-Over process turns recently deceased humans into living corpses which retain their intelligence and personality, along with gaining superhuman strength and durability, but no longer produce body heat and require regular injections with a special bio-stimulant to survive. A different bio-stimulant can allow the Necro-Over to age normally into adulthood. While the process also seems to make them more compatible with Gaia Memories, the monster-making Psycho Serum of the year, it comes with the downside that a Necro-Over who uses a Memory to transform doesn't get a Last Chance Hit Point like human users do.

Billy Russo in The Punisher (2017) calls Frank Castle one of these while interrogating him, claiming he's "wandering the earth completely unaware he's already dead". From another point of view, Frank fits the trope to a tee; he's a vengeful warrior who came back to life out of sheer determination for revenge after being shot (seemingly) fatally in the head.
