Zombies are given immunity to disease, presumably on the logic that they aren't alive and thus can't get sick. However, there are a wide variety of disease-like things (bacteria, fungi, maggots, etc) that rationally would attack zombies just fine, but won't bother things like golems, which are inorganic. That includes most plant and slime-class monsters. How should that be represented? Just a trait that zombies are affected by diseases that affect corpses?
