Good question for "Sage Advice"! @JeremyECrawford Is a corpse that's not undead considered a "creature"? I say no. https://t.co/gEBslNtv7U

A non-undead corpse isn't considered a creature. It's effectively an object. https://t.co/4K7VYN8Ekw

Open Gate to location of corpse, grab corpse through Gate, close Gate.
“A non-undead corpse isn’t considered a creature. It’s effectively an object.”
What about an undead that has yet to perish? Are they both corpse and creature yet not an object?
I meant to say ‘a Zombie’ as opposed to ‘an undead.’
Zombies are creatures, with the undead tag. They stop being a corpse when they become animated as zombies, then become corpses again when killed/destroyed.
