One of the squickiest things to come out of horror movies is the descending age bracket for The Undead. It used to be only adults could be/were made into undead, and while children were presumably killed off-screen during the Zombie Apocalypse, they weren't turned into the living dead. Well, now it seems these infants have found immortality of a decidedly unwholesome sort. Whether it's zombie babies, vampire children, or the unsettling ghost child, audiences will feel revulsion on several levels. Let's count! On the one hand, these are children, the idea that an undead horror (especially a thinking one) would not just kill but transform an innocent into another one of itself is so wrong it's hard to quantify. That a child would stay on in this world as a ghost is no less cruel, since it implies the child is somehow being held against their will or has become a creature out for revenge. On the other, the body is still that of a child, and most people will instinctively try to help mistakenly thinking it's Not a Zombie, no matter how undeathly pale and torn. Third, even if the child still has their own mind and morality (slim chance, but present) you've now essentially got a bloodthirsty immortal Pinocchio. And last but not least, when one is attacking you, you have to work past all of the above and the natural instinct not to harm a child (if it's still sentient, it could very well bank on that moment of shock and hesitation to get the drop on its victims). This can be made much easier if the little monster isn't just creepy, but deformed and scary. Lastly, if the form of undead is sentient, this may result in significant angst on the part of the child who Can't Grow Up or physically mature, and becomes Older Than They Look. Let's hope no parents brought their kids to see this movie. (Although it'd probably be scarier for the parents.) Related to Creepy Child, Enfant Terrible and Fetus Terrible. The Cute Ghost Girl is a much Lighter and Softer subtype. |

In Made in Abyss, Riko discovers that she is, in fact, undead during a demented test of character from Ozen the Immovable. An atypical example more similar to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, to which the anime/manga is frequently compared, at least superficially. Riko appears to be a normal human being, but is in fact animated almost solely by a desire to reach the bottom of the Abyss. In that, she's more like the pseudo-living hunks of meat normally resurrected through the means used on her than the otherwise normal magical girls in Madoka Magica. | |

Genshin Impact has Qiqi, an adorable little girl who happens to be a zombie. If it weren't for the Chinese Vampire-style talisman on her face and odd, slightly robotic behavior, she wouldn't be distinguishable from a living person at all. It's said that she became a zombie in the first place when she got caught in the crossfire in a battle between adepti and demons, and the adepti, taking pity on her, brought her back to life the best they could. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has all the magical girls. The process that transforms them also physically removes their soul and places it in a gem, turning the body into a mindless meat puppet that the soul controls remotely. To make matters worse, they aren't informed of the fact, and initially think the Soul Gem is just a Transformation Trinket. And if they are too distant from the Soul Gems, they will lose their consciousness and begin to rot, turning them into literal zombies. | |

Evan Matthieu, from Pact, is an eight-year-old boy who wandered too far into the woods and ended up chased by a powerful goblin until he died from exposure. The goblin was powerful enough to frighten away the Psychopomp that would normally have taken his soul to its destination, so he kept running, for months, until he was found by Blake Thorburn, who bound the goblin and took Evan as his Familiar, which Evan considers a pretty fair deal. | |

The Mighty Thor: There's a particularly horrifying one during the "Latverian Prometheus" arc — a dismembered, bloody, visibly decaying zombie-cyborg Frankensteinian monster child.

Disgaea: Inverted to horrific effect in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance: a pair of bosses the party has to face relatively early in the game happen to be Usalia's zombified parents, explicitly raised by Majorita to torture the girl. Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny brings us the zombie siblings, Zed and Bieko. Due to a bit of Fantastic Racism putting Zombies on the same level as Prinnies, the two were often bullied and attacked for being zombies. Bieko manages to remain a fairly Cheerful Child, but Zed doesn't share the same sentiments. When story events bring Zed back to the world he lived on with Bieko, the demons that used to bully the pair show up, and Zed gleefully takes the opportunity to get some well-deserved revenge against them. |

Highschool of the Dead: Surprisingly for a Zombie Apocalypse manga, it waits more than twenty chapters to bring in the horde of undead grade-schoolers. There's also a scene of a zombie kid biting and infecting his mother. In the anime, zombie children are the only things that Saeko Busujima can't kill. They stop her cold when she sees them. |

In Fray, a Joss Whedon comic set in the distant future of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer world, future Slayer Melaka Fray and her twin brother Harth were attacked by vampires as kids. Harth was turned (or more accurately, chose to turn himself, because while Mel had acquired Slayer strength and physical abilities, Harth got the memories of past Slayers, which includes how a human is turned into a vampire, so when he was about to die from a vampire's bite he bit the vampire back to get the vampire's blood), and has secretly become the Big Bad. | |

For a while, he haunted the students and staff in the rebuilt school, until some of them broke through to him and became his friends. He lampshades that he Can't Grow Up, but a teacher responds that he can mature mentally. | |

Angel: In the episode "Lullaby", there's a flashback to Holtz finding his slaughtered family. His little daughter Sarah has already risen as a vampire. Holtz sings to her until daybreak, then drags her struggling to the door and pushes her out into the sunlight. Given this and the "normal" death of his infant son, it's perhaps understandable that he really doesn't like Angel very much. In the fourth season, Los Angeles is struck by a phenomenon that darkens the sun. This leads to a massive spike in the vampire population. Angel meets a vampire who was just ten years old when she was turned. In one of the comics, Faith and Robin Wood meet a group of children who have been turned into vampires by their mother. They destroy them all. |

First Encounter Assault Recon has a technical example in the form of Alma, who was technically dead when Armacham shut down all life support to her chamber while she was in her early twenties and takes on the form of a nine-year-old girl, which was the age she was when she was sealed in the Vault and put into a coma. However, as of the end of the first game, her "adult" body is free, and Alma has apparently managed to revive it with her psychic powers. | |

Living Dead Series: There's a little zombie girl in Night of the Living Dead (1968) who eats her father after he staggers down into the basement after getting shot; then kills her mother with a hand-trowel — thereby becoming the first zombie in the series to display what resembles intelligence — and eats her too. In the 1990 remake, she just flat-out eats her mother after cornering her. Dawn of the Dead (1978) features two zombie children, played by Tom Savini's niece and nephew. The first zombie seen in Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a little girl, who was last seen playing happily on roller-skates in the previous scene. When we see her again, she's missing half of her mouth and immediately rips out the throat of the main character's husband. In addition to this, Luda enters labor just as she dies and comes back as a zombie. The baby comes out after her head is blown off, apparently just dead... but then it opens its eyes. The baby's "birth cry" is one of the creepiest moments of the film. In Land of the Dead, Mouse is spooked by a growling undead schoolboy, before he gets quickly cornered and eaten by the other zombies, which have been led to the river shore by Big Daddy. |

Fallout: Equestria: Every pony trapped in Canterlot when the megaspell detonated became a "Canterlot ghoul," distinct from normal ghouls by both an indomitable Healing Factor and near-universal loss of their minds. Littlepip and their friends end up in Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns, and find themselves confronted by dozens of fillies who were at school when the megaspell detonated. Littlepip and Velvet Remedy are so horrified they can't shoot, Calamity shoots without hesitation, and Steelhooves brings down the roof so that they can escape the situation entirely. Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes features as its protagonist the undead Puppysmiles, kept alive by her necromantic hazmat suit as she wanders the wasteland looking for her mother. This Canterlot Ghoul is played sympathetically, and the residents of the Big 52 come to know and appreciate her with the Red Baron of 'The Pink Ghost'. |

Alice in the Shin Megami Tensei series is a recurring demon. She appears to be loosely based on a combination of Lewis Carroll's Alice and a German or Scandinavian myth about a young girl's ghost who kills naughty children so they can be friends forever. She appears as a boss in some games, but asks for help in side quests in others, though she'll still fight you eventually. She can be added to your team in most games, and learns the unique death/curse spell Die For Me!. | |

Dance in the Vampire Bund has a lot of vampire children, since vampires can reproduce sexually in this series, not just by biting humans. Mina Tepes the vampire queen is at least a hundred years old but has approximately the body of a ten-year-old girl. This is only a disguise, however: in battle she can take the form of an adult woman, a form she tries to keep secret from the three remaining vampire lords, who want to sire pureblood heirs with her. The protagonists interact with several "fangless" vampires, who intentionally pull their canine teeth so they can't feed on humans. Anna is weapons-grade adorable, while her adopted sibs Jiji and Clara are only fractionally less cute. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: One of the bonus chapters of the manga, "The Blind Alchemist", features the Elrics consulting an alchemist who seemingly has performed a successful human transmutation to bring back the daughter of an affluent couple. In reality, the "daughter" is an orphan that was adopted for looking like the deceased child (as the alchemist had lost his eyesight due to the transmutation and they didn't want him to learn that he had failed) and what came back in the transmutation is a zombie-like entity kept in a room adorned with stuffed animals that freaks out Alphonse when it moves. The 2003 anime version has Wrath, who is the incarnation of Izumi Curtis' stillborn son. He starts out as a cheerful Wild Child that Izumi bonds with, but he takes a quick shift into Enfant Terrible when Envy gives him red stones that recover his memory. Wrath spends the entire series being an antagonist towards Ed and Izumi, who he resents for "abandoning" him as a baby, until in Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa where he's just weary after Sloth and later Izumi's deaths. He ends up Together in Death with Izumi after committing a Heroic Sacrifice. |

At the beginning of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance the child protagonist and two newfound friends (future antagonists) get into a snowball fight with three bullies. Said bullies aim every snowball at the nerdiest kid, and eventually he starts bleeding due to one ball that has a rock in it. After that nerd gets his hand on a Tome of Eldritch Lore and remakes the world according to his own desires, the first-available mission to contain zombies gives them the same names as the bullies. (When they reappear in a later mission, their monster type is given as "Lost Soul.") | |

Eternal Darkness: To begin with, there are some very small zombies. In addition, the two youngest playable characters, Ellia and Anthony (both of whom are sixteenish in a cast mainly consisting of mature adults), wind up in undead states at the ends of their chapters, and are each encountered by the next character in their respective level settings. One of the effects of running out of sanity is hearing the voice of babies crying coming from nowhere. |

Baldur's Gate II: There is a ghost halfling child in the graveyard who just wants his teddy bear and then he can be at rest. Probably a reference to The Twilight Zone (1959). If you find and attack Neb the child killer to solve the Illithium quest, he summons the ghosts of his victims to protect him while he hides from you. They have generally bad combat stats but cause Level Drain on hit, and will disappear once Neb is killed (and restore your party's lost levels in the process). |

Highlander: The Series: There was an immortal child. While immortals aren't undead, the Can't Grow Up factor and the creepiness of a child not acting like one and killing other immortals was similar. In his case, Kenneth ("Kenny") acts like an innocent rookie immortal who needs training and protection. Several immortals with parenting instincts fall for it and take him in. They typically lose their heads to their new ward. Ironically, he first became immortal in 1182 and is much older than most of his would-be parents. An episode has him reuniting with his original mentor/Parental Substitute Amanda. She still sees as the relatively innocent young boy that she trained in the 12th century. In the intervening centuries he has developed a Dirty Old Man mentality and clearly lusts over her body. |

In 'Salem's Lot, the first two vampire victims are the Glick brothers, the older one (Danny) being twelve. (Danny becomes an example of this trope while Ralphie is sacrificed outright.) Later, an entire busload of child vampires show up and two of the vampire hunters find child vampires while searching for their nests. Disturbingly, one of them is the MacDougal baby. | |

American Horror Story: Murder House is about the ghost twins who were haunting Murder House. Similarly, while Hotel is insistent about the nature of its "ancient blood virus," the Countess does have a penchant for collecting and turning children. And after getting turned, Alex uses her own blood to cure a child about to die of septic pneumonia... which goes real well when he goes back to school and infects his classmates... |

The Strain (TV series): Emma, a young French girl, is among the plane passengers turned into a vampire. According to Nora, she can't be more than eight. Later, one of Zach's friends is turned into a vampire by Kelly along with his mother. In a flashback, we see that Setrakian's wife turned two children into vampires after she was turned by The Master. In the second season premiere, Eichorst turns an entire bus full of blind children into specialized vampires called Feelers. During season four, we flash back to the time Mr. Quinlan tried to kill The Master in Victorian England. He fails and The Master threatens to go after a woman he has a romantic relationship with and her daughter. By the time Quinlan gets to them, they're infected and turning into Strigoi. He's forced to kill both of them before the transformation can finish. |

World of Warcraft: A questgiver NPC in the Eastern Plaguelands, Pamela Redpath, is a ghostly girl haunting the ruins of Darrowshire. She's friendly enough, and her quest line starts with a request to find her doll but eventually ends in players recreating the Battle of Darrowshire to redeem Pamela's father. The girl's plight struck a chord with many players ("I never feel warm anymore") and inspired a quite rocking song, so after the zone was revamped for the Cataclysm expansion, players can pick up an item (Pamela's Doll) that allows the ghost girl to tag along on their adventures. Scholomance, a dungeon in the Western Plaguelands, has a wing filled with zombified dragon whelps. And if you got the Collector's Edition of Wrath of the Lich King, you can have one as a pet. Some speculated that the Stratholme boss Timmy the Cruel (who is possibly the same ghoul from Warcraft III) was this, but the dungeon journal reveals that he is entirely unrelated to the child named Timmy. |

The Binding of Isaac: The unlockable character ???, aka "The Blue Baby", is a dead, cyianotic child who can't recover health with normal hearts, so he uses soul hearts as health. Rebirth also added The Lost, a ghost who has no health whatsoever, so he dies in a single hit, but has permanent flight. And then, Afterbirth added Keeper, a grey, dried out corpse who can only recover health by picking up coins, and later The Forgotten, an unusual character in that he's a skeleton that attacks with a bone club but can also switch contol to a ghost that has normal tears and flight, but is chained to the skeleton body. Then come Repentance and with the introduction of the "Tainted" characters, some of the usual characters become this. Tainted Judas becomes a Living Shadow that can damage enemies by running through them with his special attack. Tainted Lazarus becomes two separate characters, one living, one undead, that switch between every room. Tainted Jacob stops being The Dividual, instead being a single character that is chased by the vengeful ghost of his brother, which will be able to damage enemies in his pursuit of vengance. If he is killed, you become a One-Hit-Point Wonder until you leave for the next floor. ???, The Lost, Keeper and The Forgotten were already dead to begin with, but they become more decayed: Tainted ??? is now bloated with poop, Tainted Lost is now dusty and covered in cobwebs from hiding in the attic, Tainted Keeper is now driven by greed and Tainted Forgotten is now only a defenseless soul and he has to throw his lifeless skeleton around to attack. |

Played with in Ride the Cyclone, which starts with six teenage choir members dying in a roller coaster accident and takes place mostly in limbo as they come to terms with their unexpected deaths. The teens were all in high school, and for five of them their ghostly forms appear in relatively good condition (considering how they died). The sixth is "Jane Doe", a girl who was decapitated in the crash and spends her time in limbo with a creepy old doll's head as a replacement for her lost cranium. The actress who plays Jane Doe is usually made up with porcelain pale skin, blacked-out contact lenses, and a pale blonde wig with ringlets to look like an antique "little Victorian girl" doll. The look is combined with an emotionless, almost robotic affect that visibly creeps out the five other teenage ghosts. | |

Kagome from Inuyasha met a young ghost girl named Mayu in the future, who was trying to kill her little brother. She thought her mother had purposefully let her die in a fire she accidentally started and wanted revenge. Kagome manages to convince her otherwise (her Mom didn't know that Mayu was trapped in the burning apartment until her corpse was found, and heavily blamed herself for her death)... right before Mayu's anger nearly gets her sent to Hell. But Mayu gets rescued by Kagome and says goodbye to her mother before leaving for the afterlife. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: The 2nd Edition vampire sourcebook describes Madam Kalfon, a Bretonnian girl who was turned into a Necrarch vampire while only fifteen years old. Necrarchs universally resemble desiccated and borderline inhuman corpses, and the figure of a child-sized mummy ruling over a tower filled with undead minions dressed in colorful clothes and toys fashioned from flesh and bone, all while still acting like the living child she hasn't been for centuries, provides a rather disturbing scenario for players to be drawn into. | |

Almost reached this point in Dracula when Lucy, now a vampire, starts luring away and feeding on children.

It's unclear whether the little children often encountered in dreams in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise are this trope or not: Freddy presumably killed them when he himself was alive, before he gained supernatural powers, so it's possible that they're dreamworld illusions rather than trapped souls of his original victims. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare seems to suggest they are when one killed character tries to warn his friend not to fall asleep. Having to wade through the souls of Freddy's previous victims to do so. | |

Technically speaking, Casper the Friendly Ghost. However, he's friendly and not really creepy, so he's almost an aversion. The almost part comes from the fact that he still manages to scare away most people. In the original cartoons, it actually was an aversion, as ghosts in the series were more like The Fair Folk. It wasn't until later that they started toying with the idea of him being a traditional ghost. | |

In Yo-kai Watch, youkai are usually ghosts of humans and animals. Several yokai such as Toiletta look like children so it's likely they died as children.

Exalted gives us an Abyssal whose Exaltation always goes to a 10-year-old girl who is then always renamed Shoat of the Mire. She is the only Abyssal servant of the Deathlord known as The Dowager of the Irreverent Vulgate in Unrent Veils, who has a very specific process of creating her deathknights. It's stated that she plans to start turning more children into Abyssal servants as soon as she's certain she's perfected the process of raising them. The Shoat isn't actually undead, but Abyssal Exalted is close enough to count. | |

Squee: The Enfant Terrible Pepito appears to be something like this, though he looks that way on account of being The Antichrist, not because he's actually dead. More straightforwardly, Pepito and the comic's titular character Squee are at one point faced with a classroom full of zombie children. |

Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil has the Scarlet sisters who have been about five- to ten-year-old children since the 16th century. Though whether they truly are undead or not is a bit unclear: As vampires they are classified as "devils" rather than "undead", and Remilia has repeatedly denied sleeping in a coffin, stating that coffins are for dead people. The first time we see her bedroom in an official manga it's revealed that she sleeps in a four-poster bed... with a coffin on it. | |

Monster Musume has Yuuhi, an ill girl who Lala turns into an undead. Unlike other works, where a dullahan zombifying a child would likely be an act of unforgivable evil, this is presented as a good thing. Lala is unambiguously a good guy, and the act gives Yuuhi another lease on life as it were by curing her terminal disease. It certainly helps that zombies in the series maintain the same personality they had when they were alive. | |

Shizuku of Omamori Himari. Technically not an undead child, but she certainly looks like one, to the point that when Rinko walks in on her and Yuuto in the bathtub *Shizuku was trying to ambush him, her first reaction was that he found a corpse in the bathtub. He later tells Shizuku to "do something about that drowned body look". | |

Pathfinder: There are attic whispers (the spirits of children who died of neglect) and drekavacs (who died of disease). Crossing into Fetus Terrible territory, there are also pickled punks (malformed, stillborn fetuses animated as undead and stored in jars of preserving liquids) and a kind of undead formed from the corpses of pregnant women, which have the undead bodies of their fetuses and embryos still clinging to their wasted forms. Walkena the Child-God is the reanimated mummy of a prince who died as a pre-teen. And a high-level mythic spellcaster. |

Dungeons & Dragons: A 3.5 Edition supplement on undead includes a half-ghoul template, where the mother is infected by whatever magical affliction creates ghouls and gives birth to a half-ghoul child that can grow up. Usually the child has to be rescued by normal humans to survive long, though, as their parents will become fully undead cannibal monsters. Atropal are very powerful, very dangerous abominations that are basically stillborn godlings. They are just as nasty as they sound, and even if you destroy one the leftover chunks can still reanimate as an Atropal Scion, which is fortunately less likely to give you a TPK. The Libris Mortis supplement has the slaymate, the animated remains of a child who died of neglect or betrayal by a caretaker. It amplified necromantic magic in its vicinity, and the book said they are prized as pets of sorts for necromancers, who sometimes carry them on their backs papoose-style. Add in a creepy picture of an undead and slightly decomposed 7-ish-year-old girl with a ragged doll, and you have a winner. 4.0 and its Open Grave supplement gives us both child skeletons and the corrupted spawn, a child brought back by resurrection magic Gone Horribly Wrong. The latter is essentially an extended reference to Pet Sematary. Age of Worms: The first chapter of the adventure path has the PCs encounter the ghost of a thirteen-year-old boy who was killed by a trap in the dungeon they're exploring. While he is childishly flighty and morbid, and his still-broken neck makes his head loll creepily, he's mostly non-malevolent, and helps the PCs get past a dead-end if they help him move on by burying his bones in his family's plot. In a Mystara scenario the PCs run into a bunch of non-standard zombies created by the magical equivalent of radiation. They are sentient and not necessarily hostile. One of them was created from the body of a young boy and is a possible ally. Somewhat tragic, in that he thinks he can "grow up" like a living person if he just gets away from the zombie lair and into the normal world. Ravenloft has naturally played with this trope, with a Claudia-Expy (Merilee Markuza, whom many fans choose to portray as a Manipulative Bastard), flesh golems who act like children at first, and any number of child ghosts. |

The World of Darkness: Vampire: The Masquerade: The original game has a flaw called "Child", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. In addition to physical penalties due to size, they suffer from social penalties and the aforementioned Can't Grow Up. It's said that child vampires tend not to survive long. It's also noted that there is nothing stopping a vampire from turning an unborn baby. Apart from basic decency, of course. A canon character is a 4th Gen vampire by the name of Ur-Shulgi. Despite resembling a small child it is one of the most powerful of all vampires, as well as an unparalleled master of blood-magic. It has skin like black stone, covered in an uncountable number of scars with bone and sinew showing in some spots. When it first appeared, it single-handedly turned the tide of the Second Baali War, and when it awakes in modern times it effortlessly kills the current leader of the Banu Haqim and starts leading its clan to be even more vicious than they already were, triggering a schism. Vampire: The Requiem: There's a bit of fiction in one of the sourcebooks about a local hotshot who runs a betting event known only as "B vs. D." What does it stand for? "[Embraced] Baby versus Dog"; as the baby is practically brand new and barely fed, that means the Beast is in the driver's seat. The chapter fiction for Blood Sorcery follows a vampire duo, one of whom is a girl named Kitty, Embraced at age five. Danse Macabre introduces the Masquerade Merit, reflective of how effectively a vampire is able to craft a certain role that allows them to pass in society, along with gaining mastery of certain aspects associated with it. One such Masquerade is Youth, which allows vampires Embraced at young ages (especially ages that would have them considered adults in medieval society) to pass as mortal children or teenagers, complete with associates of such peer groups. The second edition corebook tells of the Children's Crusade, an entire covenant of undead children — indeed, they had sole right to Embrace children, and frequently non-Crusade child vampires were put into their care. Eventually, the adult vampires discovered the Crusade was twisted, corrupt in ways they could not understand or tolerate, and so the Crusade was scourged from the face of the Earth... but a few members slipped through the cracks. Wraith: The Oblivion features the Striplings, a caste of Spectre. In the game, Spectres are ghosts who either lost themselves over time to Oblivion, or met such a violent end that they just wanted it all to go away. The Striplings are Spectres of children who died when they were younger than ten. Even the other Spectres are freaked out by them. There's a good reason one ruler in the setting set a law in place that any child wraiths would be made into soulsteel. Fate Worse than Death? Maybe. But at least that keeps them from being Striplings. The 20th Anniversary Edition retcons the soulforging law — it was in place prior to the 13th century, but an influential Stripling born of the Children's Crusade was the first to argue its unfairness and the right of child Wraiths to exist. |

The Sims: Averted in The Sims 2. Sims must be at least teenagers to become zombies (University expansion pack) or vampires (Nightlife expansion pack). Vampire Sims can reproduce normally, but the offspring will be human. (Zombie Sims are sterile.) In The Sims 3, it's possible to have ghost babies. This occurs through either making a ghost Sim playable again, or using a ghost potion on a regular Sim. If one parent is a ghost, the baby has a 50% chance of being a ghost as well. Subverted, however, in that the ghost baby will age normally and eventually "die". In The Sims 4, ghost children remain a possiblity. Children and teenagers can't be turned into vampires, but can be born as vampires if their parents are vampires or they're born on a dark ley line. Such children, aside from aesthetic differences (like toddlers practicing their biting on stuffed animals), don't become true vampires until they become adults. |

The Otherworld: Normally, if a child dies, the ghost is taken and adopted by a family and raised until they "age" to adult, however two occasions where this didn't happen: A boy is born to a woman in prison, but dies before a doctor could help him. He spends his days roaming the prison, interacting with the environment still thinking he's alive. As he didn't know he had died, the kindest thing had been decided to leave him there until the prison was demolished then take his soul and reincarnate him — taking him away from the environment he knew would be too stressful and shocking, and he was happy where he was. A group of child ghosts was found to be bound to the earth due to non-magical humans attempts at being able to use magic. The children were burned and their ashes uses to power magic; the more their ash was used the more they faded away until nothing was left. |

Not present in DMFA, but there's a very specific reason for that: While Dark Pegasus has been consistently presented as without sympathy, remorse or anything that could really be considered "good", when he brought about the Undead, Word of God says that he was disgusted by the idea of zombie children or infants and locked them out of the spell. | |

Dante's Inferno has the Unbaptized Children, demonic infants with scythes lodged into their elbows. These are the damned souls of children that died before they were baptized and are now condemned to Limbo. They tend to move on all fours and have a nasty habit of attacking the player in large swarms, wailing like normal babies all the time. To make their movements more realistic, motion capture was done with the toddler son of one of the men working on the game. | |

Averted in The Sims 2. Sims must be at least teenagers to become zombies (University expansion pack) or vampires (Nightlife expansion pack). Vampire Sims can reproduce normally, but the offspring will be human. (Zombie Sims are sterile.) | |

In The Sims 3, it's possible to have ghost babies. This occurs through either making a ghost Sim playable again, or using a ghost potion on a regular Sim. If one parent is a ghost, the baby has a 50% chance of being a ghost as well. Subverted, however, in that the ghost baby will age normally and eventually "die". | |

In The Sims 4, ghost children remain a possiblity. Children and teenagers can't be turned into vampires, but can be born as vampires if their parents are vampires or they're born on a dark ley line. Such children, aside from aesthetic differences (like toddlers practicing their biting on stuffed animals), don't become true vampires until they become adults. | |

In a Mystara scenario the PCs run into a bunch of non-standard zombies created by the magical equivalent of radiation. They are sentient and not necessarily hostile. One of them was created from the body of a young boy and is a possible ally. Somewhat tragic, in that he thinks he can "grow up" like a living person if he just gets away from the zombie lair and into the normal world. | |

A Tale of...: Gothel's mother Manea is the Queen of the Dead. She has a hoard of undead at her command. Manea keeps local villages in line by threatening to slaughter them and turn them into her undead right now, in exchange for all their dead being buried in her graveyard so that they can become part of her hoard. The last straw for her two other daughters, Hazel and Primrose, is when Manea kills an entire village, including the children. All the undead children look confused and terrified, with their eyes covered in a black goop so that they can't see. After killing Manea and taking over, Gothel promises her sisters not to use the younger undead in her horde. | |

The 2003 anime version has Wrath, who is the incarnation of Izumi Curtis' stillborn son. He starts out as a cheerful Wild Child that Izumi bonds with, but he takes a quick shift into Enfant Terrible when Envy gives him red stones that recover his memory. Wrath spends the entire series being an antagonist towards Ed and Izumi, who he resents for "abandoning" him as a baby, until in Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa where he's just weary after Sloth and later Izumi's deaths. He ends up Together in Death with Izumi after committing a Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Being Human (UK) has two: In season 1, a vampire child, made when Mitchell offers his mother, out of guilt from not being able to save him, the chance to bring him back as a vampire. The episode ends with the kid innocently telling his mom "I'm hungry." In season 2, a ghost baby. Ghost babies don't eat or sleep, and must be kept as cold as possible. It's all disturbingly adorable. One of the Old Ones, the leaders of the vampires, is a seemingly twelve year old schoolgirl, complete with old fashioned uniform. She’s actually centuries old, in a world where most vampires barely make it to triple digits, and acts like an adult. |

Turns out they're an experiment to create children who are immune to radiation and therefore will survive a nuclear war. The children are radioactive themselves, and therefore will kill anyone who comes into contact with them who isn't wearing a hazmat suit. | |

Even the usually lighthearted Pokémon series isn't immune to this trope: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments where the player can glimpse the ghost of a girl behind an NPC during a conversation. In the Old Chateau in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl a ghost child appears. It's implied that she and her family were poisoned. Phantump's Pokedex entry implies they are the ghosts of children who get lost in forests. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, Phantump is a Ridiculously Cute Critter. |

In 28 Days Later, Jim deliberately goes hunting for a pre-teenager who is infected with The Virus, and determinedly beats it to death with apparently no qualms, showing how his experiences have desensitized him to the point where he is in danger of losing his own humanity. He is only disturbed by his behaviour when the Big Bad points out that having both done horrible things to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, he and the main character are a lot more alike than he'd like to admit. | |

No More Room In Hell includes children as a special type of zombie: they're as nimble as runners and harder to hit thanks to their small size, but have less attack power, are unable to grab and bite, and one single strike or shot to the head with any weapon outside of the fists or flashlight kills them. The developers received a number of complaints from people who were offended enough to demand the removal of these zombie children. Some players reported being so disturbed that they found themselves unable to fight back. Word of God announced◊ that they were actually hoping for this exact reaction. | |

Touhou Project: Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil has the Scarlet sisters who have been about five- to ten-year-old children since the 16th century. Though whether they truly are undead or not is a bit unclear: As vampires they are classified as "devils" rather than "undead", and Remilia has repeatedly denied sleeping in a coffin, stating that coffins are for dead people. The first time we see her bedroom in an official manga it's revealed that she sleeps in a four-poster bed... with a coffin on it. Eika Ebisu from Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature is a mizuko, the spirit of a miscarried child, turned deity. She spends her time in Children's Limbo, stacking stones into towers with her fellow young spirits. Several other characters in the franchise might qualify, since ZUN has trouble portraying ages and likes to deliberately leave things vague for the sake of the fans. |

Ghost children appear prominently in several of Jonathan Boakes's spooky adventure games. They range in tangibility from the never-seen, wailing baby in Dark Fall: Lost Souls to corporeal-looking Nancy from The Lost Crown, and in friendliness from helpful Timothy Pike from Dark Fall: The Journal to uber-Creepy Child Amy Haven, also from DF:LS who turns out to be the Dark Fall's willing collaborator. | |

In Grim Tales from Down Below, the character Minnie is an undead little girl who looks like she got ripped to pieces and sewn back together (think Sally). Since the story is told in flashback, you (almost) get to see her get ripped to shreds. You do, however, get to see the outcome, horrified face and all. Also, her brother Grimm Jr. is a skeleton. And he was "born" via an abortion. But Dad's the Angel of death, so it's all good. | |

Blood Alone has Higure, a vampire elder, and Misaki, a newly turned vampire. Both are friendly; but Higure reveals that ultimately all undead turn into monsters.

Clock Tower games: Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within has Stephanie, who chases you around for much of the first part of the game. To a lesser extent, her sister Ashley, whose still-living arm can be found on the dining room table and the rest of her body scattered across the house, and their brother Michael, who also stalks you in a suit of armor. There's also May from Clock Tower 3, the 12-year-old pianist who was murdered by the first Subordinate you meet in the game, Sledgehammer; you have to beat him in order for her to be laid to rest. Then there's the ghosts of children killed by Scissorman in Clock Tower (2) that sing Little John from the Big Castle. |

Dracula (2020): Episode 1 features an undead, vampire baby. Even Dracula is surprised, considering he never saw a baby turning into a vampire before. Episode 3 features a creepy kid zombie. Lucy Westenra is oddly charmed when she sees it in a graveyard, but is rightly horrified when it follows her home and sneaks into her bedroom. Fortunately for her (and probably also the kid itself), Dracula kills it with a stake. | |

Game of Thrones: The first episode has a particularly creepy◊ one. Considering that just moments before we had seen her murdered body nailed to a tree, she doesn't have to do anything more than turn and stare into the camera with her unnatural blue eyes to be scary. And in Season 5 as the White Walkers overwhelm the Wildling city of Hardhome, Action Mom Karsi is hacking them down left and right, only to find herself facing half a dozen zombie children in varying states of decay. Being a mother, she freezes in shock and despair and is quickly overwhelmed. |

The first zombie seen in Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a little girl, who was last seen playing happily on roller-skates in the previous scene. When we see her again, she's missing half of her mouth and immediately rips out the throat of the main character's husband. In addition to this, Luda enters labor just as she dies and comes back as a zombie. The baby comes out after her head is blown off, apparently just dead... but then it opens its eyes. The baby's "birth cry" is one of the creepiest moments of the film. | |

Wraith: The Oblivion features the Striplings, a caste of Spectre. In the game, Spectres are ghosts who either lost themselves over time to Oblivion, or met such a violent end that they just wanted it all to go away. The Striplings are Spectres of children who died when they were younger than ten. Even the other Spectres are freaked out by them. There's a good reason one ruler in the setting set a law in place that any child wraiths would be made into soulsteel. Fate Worse than Death? Maybe. But at least that keeps them from being Striplings. The 20th Anniversary Edition retcons the soulforging law — it was in place prior to the 13th century, but an influential Stripling born of the Children's Crusade was the first to argue its unfairness and the right of child Wraiths to exist. | |

Danny Phantom has Youngblood, a ghost child, who's less "creepy" and more of a Bratty Half-Pint (albeit one with a sick sense of humor). He hates adults and you have to be at least somewhat childlike to see him. As with many ghosts on this show, it's not clear if he's an actual dead child or some supernatural being that just resembles one (a Nickelodeon Magazine comic suggests the latter, assuming it's meant to be canon). | |

Minecraft has baby zombies. They are just like regular zombies, except that they are smaller, faster, make higher-pitched sounds, and prior to an update they didn't burn in the sunlight. In fact, they're more dangerous than normal zombies thanks to their fast speed and their small size allowing them to access narrow spaces, and give over twice the amount of experience as normal zombies. | |

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny brings us the zombie siblings, Zed and Bieko. Due to a bit of Fantastic Racism putting Zombies on the same level as Prinnies, the two were often bullied and attacked for being zombies. Bieko manages to remain a fairly Cheerful Child, but Zed doesn't share the same sentiments. When story events bring Zed back to the world he lived on with Bieko, the demons that used to bully the pair show up, and Zed gleefully takes the opportunity to get some well-deserved revenge against them. | |

The Fatal Frame series has quite a number of young female ghosts. Possibly the most terrifying are the Shrine Maidens in the third installment, who have the nasty habit of disappearing for a brief time, before reappearing below the camera's normal field of vision and attempting to drive stakes into the main character's feet. The second installment features a few children who aren't even aware that they've died yet, and continue their game of hide and seek. Then they drag Mio into it if she happens to encounter them. It also features Crimson Kimono, the only ghost not killed by the Darkness or anything caused by it, but instead by either terror or starvation, and who had the unfortunate opportunity to watch the slaughter from her favorite hiding place. | |

Rachel Griffin: In Rachel and the Many-Splendored Dreamland, the demon summons the child sacrifices made to it as animated skeletons. As it is Moloch, that means mostly babies. Siggy finds this seriously wrong. | |

King's Quest: Used in an unusual fashion in the fan remake of King's Quest II: Possum is turned into a vampire together with her dying grandmother by Caldaur. While the grandmother rejuvenates into a hot vampire lady, Possum physically ages into a young woman, though still with the mind of a little girl. One of the regions in the setting of King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride is the land of Ooga Booga, inhabited entirely by The Undead. Its population also includes two children. |

Dead Space: The commonly-encountered Lurker is a low-power enemy that attacks using three tentacles that either spit out some sort of acid projectile or start stabbing into you. The clincher? They're actually the corpses of infants reanimated and mutated into Necromorphs. Appropriate, seeing as how you first see them when they kill a surviving researcher by impaling his hand to a glass window with projectiles, then blowing his head off. Two of the new Necromorph types in Dead Space 2 are infected children. The Pack, Zombies born of children around 10 years old who hunt in, predictably, packs, and The Crawler, similar to Lurkers, but instead of shooting you with barbs, they explode. Gruesomely demonstrated when an unsuspecting mother calls to her now zombified baby, who hugs her and then violently explodes, smearing the window between you and them with blood. The Female Tripod might count as well, as she has a huge tentacle with what appears to be a developed baby/fetus on it and she does appear partly pregnant. You also find an audio log of a woman screaming at her husband in grief-stricken anger, because she just had to kill her own daughter, who'd turned into a Necromorph. |

The Twilight Saga: Stephanie Meyer seems to have unknowingly created an undead Creepy Child Enfante Terrible in the last book, Breaking Dawn. 'Renesmee' is apparently half-vampire, and aged to 17 in 7 years, and has an older werewolf 'imprint' on her as a mate while he raises her. And this is presented as a happy ending. The Volturi have also declared it illegal for any vampire to turn a child because vampire children lack the proper maturity level to do their part in maintaining the Masquerade and will never gain said maturity level due to being permanently stuck as children and thus, they inevitably threaten to expose the existence of vampires to the mostly unaware human population. The confrontation between the Cullens and the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn is prompted by another character mistakenly identifying Renesmee as one of these and subsequently reporting the Cullens to the Volturi for turning her. Twilight has also Jane and Alec, the youngest and smaller vampires of the series, twins turned at around age twelve by Aro Volturi. (Exact ages for what constitutes as an Immortal Child was never explicitly stated. It is assumed that if the child in question is able to follow the laws set by Volturi, then they will be allowed to continue their existence.) |

Melissa, the grand-sire of Genevieve from Drachenfels, was five when she was turned, about a thousand years ago. She was portrayed as a Creepy Child in one of the stories in The Silver Nails, but otherwise her seeming Wise Beyond Their Years is Played for Laughs (especially her complaint about vampire prejudice because those "youngsters keep siring here and there"). | |

PAGUI, which contains ghost-children in both games. The original game has a little ghost-girl named Lynn, who can't be united with her family until her ashes are buried next to her parents'. Naturally, you'll need to find her remains and complete her request. Taken to the extreme in the sequel, which has deformed ghost-babies as minor enemies summoned by the ghost hag boss. |

The Season of Mists arc of The Sandman (1989) features the dead returning to what remains of their bodies. All the dead, apparently, including small animals and children, up to and including unborn fetuses. The arc was also notable for being the debut of two ghostly children consisting of a pair of murdered schoolboys named Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland, who would go on to become recurring Vertigo characters The Dead Boy Detectives, the first notable story to feature them being Vertigo's sole Crisis Crossover The Children's Crusade (Vertigo) and the pair subsequently getting a few of their own titles. | |

The Shadowhunter Chronicles shows Raphael Santiago. At fifteen, he's technically no longer a kid, but a vampiric teenager. But other people who are significantly younger than him but look older perceive him as a teenager, and not as an adult. Maureen Brown is turned into a vampire at the age of fourteen. The resurrection apparently didn't bring back her sanity, because later she is a real beast even by the standards of vampires. In a fight, Will Herondale kills a darkling who is significantly younger than himself, on the border between child and teenager. It is implied that this darkling was on the verge of turning into a vampire, but Will is stunned by what he did anyway. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Anointed One. The drawbacks of a child form are made clear when Spike, who isn't intimidated, just picks him up and chucks him into a cage he then hoists into the sunlight. We also briefly see a little girl vampire during "Halloween". In an interesting note, it's likely she wasn't bitten. This is the episode where the people of Sunnydale are being turned into their Halloween costumes by magic spell. |

The first trailer for Dead Island features a little girl turning, attacking her parents, and getting thrown out a window to her final death. All of the above is shown in reverse slow-motion and intercut, Memento-style, with camcorder footage of the happy family on their tropical vacation. The two threads come together at the end of the trailer, which is the moment the girl is infected while her father tries to pull her to safety. Only a couple of minutes "later", he'll be the one who has to push her out the window as she tries to tear out his throat. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Evangeline A.K. McDowell, who was turned into a first-generation vampire at the age of ten. Oddly enough — or perhaps not so oddly when considering the illusion magic she uses — no non-protagonist really seems to even notice that she's a child, being terrified of her for more normal reasons. It's also worth noting that she subverts the creepiness part of this, as "undead" seems to merely mean "can't die" in regard to her; she's pretty much physically indistinguishable from a normal child. Anyone who fears her, is afraid for other reasons, as mentioned above. Her own telling of her backstory makes her vampirism seem more like a regular curse cast upon her to make her kill her family than traditional vampirism. And she's creepy because she's had a lot of practice. See also the Cute Ghost Girl Sayo Aisako. Then again, Sayo might not fit here, since she was 15 when she died, provides some panty shots, and eventually possesses a doll to get a physical form and travel outside the school. |

You see a few in The Walking Dead (Telltale). Most notably is poor Duck, who turns if you choose not to euthanize him, and of course The Stranger's wife's head which he keeps in a bowling bag, and tells her how much she'll like Clementine. Season 1 Episode 4 "Around Every Corner" has a particularly heart-wrenching one: Lee finds the zombie of a boy who starved himself to death in the attic of a house, and is so weakened that he cannot even crawl an inch from where he died. Regardless of Kenny or Lee finishing the job, Lee opts to bury the kid with his dog. |

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead has zombie children that spawn in the same areas as other zombies. They are weaker than regular zombies but quicker, and unlike any other type of zombies, killing them will reduce the character's morale unless they have the Psychopath trait or have killed at least 100 other zombie children. Like regular zombies, they can mutate into nastier versions with the passage of time, most of which drain morale of the character that kills them— save for the ones that are so mutated they don't look like children anymore. | |

I Am a Hero takes this trope to its logical extreme: zombie babies. And in one of the manga's most disturbing moments, a zombie newborn, emerging from its undead mother. | |

In Void City, Eric fights a number of children who were turned into vampires. Though he has a moral code against harming children, he considers vampires to be monsters rather than people and so does not hesitate to destroy them. | |

The Other Grey Meat: R.Z. appears to be around 6 or 7 but is in fact much older. However, the fact that he is a Category Two zombie and is of lesser intelligence also makes him appear younger than his chronological age. | |

Two of the new Necromorph types in Dead Space 2 are infected children. The Pack, Zombies born of children around 10 years old who hunt in, predictably, packs, and The Crawler, similar to Lurkers, but instead of shooting you with barbs, they explode. Gruesomely demonstrated when an unsuspecting mother calls to her now zombified baby, who hugs her and then violently explodes, smearing the window between you and them with blood. The Female Tripod might count as well, as she has a huge tentacle with what appears to be a developed baby/fetus on it and she does appear partly pregnant. You also find an audio log of a woman screaming at her husband in grief-stricken anger, because she just had to kill her own daughter, who'd turned into a Necromorph. | |

Inverted in The Saga of Darren Shan. Darren is turned into a half-vampire at the age of 12, but the vampires there are not immortal, they just live a lot longer than humans. He won't stay a child forever, but he still had a much longer childhood. In the middle of the book series, he becomes a teenager, and as such, he spends most of the plot. When he finally transforms into a vampire in the last book, he is outwardly almost adult. | |

Angel of the Bat III: Da Pacem Domine features anchimayen, which are zombie children out of Chilean mythology. They are under the orders of the villain Sandoval, have gangly, stretched proportions to appear more adult, wear wooden Chilean masks, and erupt into flames when slain. Sandoval hints that he doesn't like utilizing them, but that they make acceptable Canon Fodder. | |

Screamers, a rare infected type in Dying Light, are child zombies encountered in the second half of the game. They're always found indoors, usually in the houses that they inhabited during life, and let out an ear-piercing shriek that disables the player and draws in Virals. To stop them Kyle has to cradle the thing in his arms to calm it down, then snap its neck. | |

Left 4 Dead is a notable aversion. The disease that turns adults into Technically Living Zombies outright and immediately kills children. Nearly the entire US eastern seaboard has been zombified, yet not a single child — be they human, zombie, or even corpse — is anywhere to be found. | |

Vampire: The Requiem: There's a bit of fiction in one of the sourcebooks about a local hotshot who runs a betting event known only as "B vs. D." What does it stand for? "[Embraced] Baby versus Dog"; as the baby is practically brand new and barely fed, that means the Beast is in the driver's seat. The chapter fiction for Blood Sorcery follows a vampire duo, one of whom is a girl named Kitty, Embraced at age five. Danse Macabre introduces the Masquerade Merit, reflective of how effectively a vampire is able to craft a certain role that allows them to pass in society, along with gaining mastery of certain aspects associated with it. One such Masquerade is Youth, which allows vampires Embraced at young ages (especially ages that would have them considered adults in medieval society) to pass as mortal children or teenagers, complete with associates of such peer groups. The second edition corebook tells of the Children's Crusade, an entire covenant of undead children — indeed, they had sole right to Embrace children, and frequently non-Crusade child vampires were put into their care. Eventually, the adult vampires discovered the Crusade was twisted, corrupt in ways they could not understand or tolerate, and so the Crusade was scourged from the face of the Earth... but a few members slipped through the cracks. |

Underfist has Irwin. It's more of an inference, but seeing as he's half Mummy and half vampire (although it technically should be a quarter), he could count. Bonus points for very clearly depicting his mummy mom as dead and for his grandfather (Dracula) explicitly saying that he's undead at the beginning. | |
