I kinda like the explanation they gave in Attack on Titan, where a titan will eat a bunch of people then barf it back up when it's full. An undead doesn't eat because it's hungry or needs the nutrients, 'cause it's fucking dead. But it eats because the dark energy that powers an undead compels it to murder.

My two cents anon. Your necromancer is a faggot if this is his top concern.

In the case of a lot of zombie settings, it's pretty clearly more of a way to spread the infection than to provide fuel for the undead; you don't see them picking their kills clean, they just grab a bite and move on so that the corpse reanimates.

I prefer the "realistic" approach where the zombies are still technically alive although through mutation and brain damage they assume the typical zombie traits such as no longer feeling pain and losing sentience.

Of course, this lends to just waiting for all the zombies to die off but there are still a lot of zombies and if they can eat they can still technically survive although not well because they don't have the sense to go get water for example and can still die of exposure.

So yeah, using these sorts of zombies, 28 Days later zombies would be ideal for that type of game.

I think most setting has them eat but be unable to digest their "food".

Serveral stories have zombies so bloated from gorging on flesh their stomach rips open and everything just sort of falls out as soon as they eat.

For Vampires, I take a page from White Wolf's playbook and say vampires consume blood to fuel their powers: Turning into a bat, summoning wolves, super speed, etc.

I feel like it depends on the type of undead. Like a Vampire probably just absorbs the blood in a sort of depraved transubstantiation, substituting the blood for the soul/spirit of the victim. A ghoul probably has some kind of digestion system, since they're more of a living beast than a true undead.

With Zombies, I like the idea that they are just a meat shell housing some entropic, necromantic force which compels them to consume and consume untill their stomachs burst open and the rancid meat flops out of them even and they shove more into their ragged throats. That's how I like to portray all the "driven to eat forever" style monsters, like Wendigos and Zombies.
