It's easy! Just buy a Zombie Pot in the market (available at lvl25) then place it on your farm. If you have 2 or more zombies available, tap on the pot and you'll be prompted to select 2 zombies on your farm. Tap on the 2 zombies, you'll then be asked if you want to combine those 2 zombies. It currently takes one hour to cook up a combined zombie.

Does color matter for Combined Zombies?

Color doesn't matter so feel free to come up with any color combination you can think of!
