This fairly gruesome [3D keychain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solecito-carrier-charm) is designed to look like a decaying green zombie. Walking Dead fans will certainly be interested in these unfortunate-looking accessories.

This monstrous keychain seems to be missing a few bits and pieces. For example, he's short an eye, a leg and an arm -- it looks like he's been having a very rough time. His missing zombie limbs and greenish hued skin lead me to believe that this zombieis definitely decaying.

There have been so many [zombie movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs) over the years and the world is filled with cult classic zombie fans, so there's always a market for [odd ball, undead trinkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-chucky). Keychains are always handy but this one is both handy and amusing. When you're having a rough day you can look at this distressed little zombie and think it could be worse.
