The Bloody Book of Zombies
Zombies are killed by removal/destruction of the brain unless otherwise noted. For information on Virus Transmission, see the FAQ.
	Crawlers » Speed: Very Slow » Threat Level: Medium Underestimating one of these is a grave mistake. Crawlers are hard to spot & keep track of & are efficient stealth killers. Do not pass. Destroy immediately.
	Shamblers » Speed: Slow » Threat Level: Alone: Low; Horde: Medium/High Slow but deadly in large groups or when guard is dropped. Best to get away fast. They seem to attract other zombies. Shamblers are drawn to loud sounds, bright lights & the smell of living flesh. They are incapable of logic or reasoning.
	Reachers » Speed: Medium » Threat Level: Medium Reachers lurk in leaf piles, loose dirt, mud, swamp & water. Any soft ground is a possible Reacher hideout. Their grip is disconcertingly strong for a rotting corpse. Without quick reflexes & thinking, getting grabbed will result in infection or death.
	Armored » Speed: Slow/Medium/Fast » Threat Level: Medium/High Most types of zombies may also be armored. These infected soldiers, officers & armored survivors have extra padding & take more power to take out. Helmets, shields & bullet proof vests are possible defenses.
	Skin & Bones » Speed: Slow/Medium » Threat Level: Medium Corpses so rotted only basic muscle, shredded skin & bones remain. These zombies seem starved & focused on killing & eating. Attracted only to the smell of flesh, sounds & lights no longer distract them.
	Biters » Speed: Slow/Medium » Threat Level: Varies Biters are more dangerous to the less desensitized of the apocalypse. Still largely resembling the children they once were, Biters seem to be more vicious & hungry than other zombies. They display a low level of curiosity & will investigate moving things. Biters can be seen dragging objects they find along behind them until they find prey. There are rumors that some have learned what door handles are.
	Sprinters » Speed: Fast » Threat Level: High Sprinters are fresher zombies with muscles & muscle memory nearly fully intact. They can run quickly & still have strong senses of smell, sight & sound. Sprinters have no lungs & do not run out of breath while running.
	Bloats » Speed: Very Slow » Threat Level: Low Bloats are zombies that have absorbed a large amount of liquid substance. They can pollute water sources & are generally disgusting. While bloats are nearly incapable of moving, if trapped with one, death is a near certainty as they tend to be ravenous & have quick reflexes
