zombielike
Barely animate appearance
Zombielike describes something resembling a zombie—the shambling, vacant quality of the undead.
Most often applied to people moving mechanically or staring blankly: He shuffled to the coffee maker in a zombielike state.
The word captures exhaustion, dissociation, or mindless routine: zombielike commuters on the morning train.
