Ideas for two "Undead" races- Goblin version, Elf/Nature version?

There are FOUR races, and FOUR realms.

Each race transforms into a DIFFERENT race when going to another realm. Such as a Human transforms into a Orc, Zombie, or Elf. Halflings transform into Goblins, Imps, or Pixies. Giants transform into Trolls, Abominations, or Treeants.

The primary races are in bold, which are the realm's "main" race. Human, Goblin, Treeant, Zombie.

So I would like to keep Zombie. I want to keep vampire, as it is vital to keeping the Human race popular (Vampire would be a very popular race).

Zombies transform into Vampires when they join the Human Realm. Zombies are undead. But I am completely stumped over any ideas for Zombies to transform when Goblinized (All I can realize is Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls for greenskins.) and no idea for Nature/Magical Forest for Zombies either.

 

ANY IDEAS for these TWO RACES????

Thx!

    I would suggest:

    Replace "Giant" with a larger race of primitive, barbarian humans. Possibly like the Qunari of Dragon Age. Large, powerful, tribal, etc.

    You could then have it's Goblinoid race as a larger, savage creature such as ogre or a giant.

    Vampire -> Troll (Warcraft style) -> Lycanthrope -> Zombie?

    I chose Warcraft style trolls as they're of a similar physical scale to humans/vampires while being recognizable "greenskins". They also fit the predatory / cannibalistic theme of the meta-race. Lycanthrope seems to fit for a similar reason.

    I don't think I'd go with Vampire as the Human element of the meta-race though. They seem much more suited to the Undead part, but I'm not sure what I would suggest as a Human replacement. The only thing that springs to mind when considering predatory, dangerous humans that are out to bleed innocents dry is "Politician", but I don't suppose that's suitable.
