 This zombie emits a constant haze of thick, obfuscating smoke. 

This creature is a human sized zombie. It's a very competent fighter with moderate hit points. It's a bit faster than you, agile, has no armor against bashing weapons and no armor against cutting ones (that includes bullets). Its special ability allows it to nothing, every 1 turns.

It has extremely high morale and it's totally aggressive. Being a zombie, it's afraid of nothing in particular, and can be angered by nothing in particular.

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), is poisonous to eat (produces tainted meat when butchered), is very hard to shoot at (some hits are treated as misses), can use special attacks even on friendly creatures, doesn't breathe (it's not affected by smoke, toxic gases, drowning, etc), has a reduced vision range (20 tiles less than normal), resuscitates after a few hours (unless its corpse is either smashed to a pulp or butchered), and nothing else.

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

When it dies, it creates an explosion of smoke.


Notes

Smokers are designed to be a pain to ranged fighters: even when you can see them through their smoke, they're very tough to actually shoot. Either a filter mask or gas mask should be enough to completely protect you from smoke inhalation so you can walk up and smack it. If you want to kill it without smoke protection, a well-placed dynamite or grenade can kill it too, be careful though as the explosion is likely to attract more zombies to you.

Bear in mind that neither the Smoker nor its fellow zeds can see through its smoke (and the smoke blocks scent, too) so you might consider leaving them alive for their value as cover.
