Source-derived summary

iZombie is an American comic book series created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred, and published by DC Comics under their Vertigo imprint. The comic follows the story of Gwen Dylan, a zombie with vague memories of her past. Gwen becomes a grave digger to obtain brains to sustain herself. Gwen befriends various other mythical creatures including ghost Ellie Stuart and a were-terrier named Scott. Gwen dates a zombie hunter named Horito.

A television series developed by Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright loosely adapts the comic run. It premiered on The CW on March 17, 2015, and ran for five seasons concluding on August 1, 2019. The series stars Rose McIver as medical examiner Olivia Moore, Malcolm Goodwin as police officer Clive Babineaux, David Anders as criminal and brain-dealer Blaine DeBeers. Multiple characters recurred and were subsequently promoted to series regular including Aly Michalka, Robert Knepper, and Bryce Hodgson.

The following is a list of characters that have appeared in the comic and television series.
