Zombie Lin

This article is about the zombie form. For her character, see Lin.

Zombie Lin is a character in Saints Row.

Overview[]

After Lin's death,^[1] calling Eye for an Eye voodoo supplies (555-5966) unlocks Zombie Lin as a homie. She is then available as a badly decomposed zombie and drives to wherever Playa is in a customized Reaper.

She tears off one of her own arms for use as a weapon.^[2]

Zombie Lin briefly pauses to eat the flesh of anyone lying dead on the street.

Trivia[]

The missing flesh and exposed bones may indicate that Lin was partially eaten by fish while underwater.
In Saints Row 2, she is referenced in the Ultor Exposed DLC where Playa reveals the news of Zombie Lin to Channel 6, but they wouldn't run it.
Zombie Lin is referenced again, this time during the mission "Zombie Attack" in Saints Row: The Third. Viola asks how Playa could be so calm while dealing with zombies, and after sarcastically asking whether he's dealt with zombies before, Male Voice 2 says: "'Well, there was Lin back in Stilwater...", and when Viola presses further, Male Voice 2 simply exclaims that it was a "long story".
Lin is one of three Homies resurrected as zombies in the series. She is also the only female Zombie Homie.
In Kinzie's Warehouse in Saints Row: The Third, there are multiple newspaper cutouts pinned to the walls. One such headline reads, "Lin, a Zombie???".^[3]
- When Playa and Pierce are first touring Kinzie's Warehouse, Pierce notices a newspaper article and quickly snatches it.^[4] This is a different article with a different texture which only appears during the cutscene, and the other article is still present.
Lin is rather blue in appearance, where as Zombie Carlos and Zombie Gat are greenish. Her blueish appearance could be due to cyanosis.
Lin's zombie appearance is very similar to the general appearance of female Forsaken in World of Warcraft.
The license plate of Zombie Lin's Reaper is "BINKY".^[5] This is a reference to the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, in which Death rides a horse named Binky.
Lin is the only Homie with a unique variant Reaper.
