    Zombie

    Concept »

    Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!

    Oh shit, ZOMBIES! They're everywhere!

    Forget the zombies. What's the deal with all these pumpkins and paper craft ghosts I keep seeing everywhere?

    I hope you're kidding, because that just sounds stupid and there is no way I'd ever use it, "correct" or not.

    Never heard of that before... I didn't realize zombies were in the same category as Fungi...

    I'm just attempting to make people believe that there's actually a special plural form of the word Zombie. Maybe if zombies actually existed, my dreams could be realized.

    Heh, I didn't spoil anything, I'm just talking about the whole plant look of some of those creatures with their tentacles and coating the walls and stuff. Like fungi.
