 An uncanny shadow envelops this creature, as if light itself were too repulsed to touch it. All you can make out is its shambling, human shaped outline. 

This creature is a human sized ZOMBIE, HUMAN. It's a competent fighter with moderate hit points. It's slower than you, clumsy, has no armor against bashing weapons and no armor against cutting ones (that includes bullets). Its special ability allows it to bite you, and sometimes bite you nastily, every 5 turns; grab you, thereby reducing your speed -15%, holding you in place, preventing your dodge, and making your blocking more difficult, every 7 turns; perform a special scratch attack, every 20 turns.

It has extremely high morale and it's totally aggressive. Being a ZOMBIE, HUMAN, it's afraid of ZOMBIE, HUMAN, and can be angered by ZOMBIE, HUMAN.

It can see, can hear noises, is able to smell characters, stumbles around, is warm blooded (it appears in infrared), can bash destroyable objects in its way (like doors), gets help from surrounding monsters when bashing objects, is poisonous to eat (produces tainted meat when butchered), its attacks can make you bleed, doesn't breathe (it's not affected by smoke, toxic gases, drowning, etc), resuscitates after a few hours (unless its corpse is either smashed to a pulp or butchered), can produce bones and sinews when butchered, can push creatures out of its way, becomes invisible if more than one tile away and lighting low or less (visibility is not affected by night vision), and nothing else.

Being made of flesh, it's vulnerable to nothing in particular.

When it dies, nothing unusual happens. If it is burned to death it can transform into a scorched zombie.


(View - Edit Notes )Notes

  • Shady zombies are almost invisible in the darkness. And night vision does not help you to spot them until they are right next to you. infrared vision helps, however.
  • These zombies are quite short sighted in the day, but are more dangerous for night raiders, as they can see better in the dark, better also be ready for when they become the dreaded nightstalker, huh?
