View source for Zombies

<noinclude>{{enemiesheader}}</noinclude>

These are your main, and often your worst enemies after the cataclysm, hungry and angry revived corpses. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors! Some zombies can also transform into [[Fungi|fungal variants]] when exposed to [[Spore cloud|spores]], or other variants when set [[fire|on fire]]. Many of the zombies are found in [[cities]], but now and then, they can be found in the [[wilderness]]. 

An enormous number of, but not all of, the zombies have the infamous ability to revive after some time after getting killed. (When they revive, their clothing and any items that they dropped on death are left behind.) The only ways to kill off zombie populations for good is to {{K|s}}mash or [[butcher]] their corpses, or kill the zombies with excessive force.

As well as their revival ability, many, but still not all zombies have the infamous ability to [[Infection|infect]] their victims via bites, so fighting zombies too early in the game is very risky without any way to [[medicine|treat]] the infection. Any types that don't bite the player may have a unique special ability all of their own.

Last but not least on the zombies abilities; as the days pass, zombies will evolve into more powerful forms, this [[evolution]] speed can be set in the [[options]] menu.

Most zombies lack any sort of intelligence and merely use their senses to detect possible enemies and follow them in a straight line.  

'''Sight:''' zombies can only "see" creatures, they will attack any creature that's not aligned with them (fungaloids, mutants, acidic ants, nether creatures, etc). They are completely blind to the terrain or lack of thereof, often choosing to hit a wall even if there's a direct route of movement just besides them.  

'''Smell:''' this works similarly to their sight, but it can only detect a smell in the air. Once a zombie catches a whiff of a scent, it will try to track it by moving to an adjacent tile with a more concentrated scent until they find the source.  

'''Hearing:''' zombie hearing is unique in that they will be drawn towards it regardless of who or what made it; they may even decide to attack an obstacle if it's between them and the sound. Thus, a group of zombies with the ability to tear down walls may end up tearing down an entire building if let alone, since the noise of falling rubble caused by the other zombies may prompt the rest in the group to move towards the noise, destroying more infrastructure in the process.
