Zombie

A Zombie was a creature created by the V1s0rak using dark science that, during the early 5th Age, spread terror and destruction throughout the world. Originally a simple reanimated corpse, Zombies evolved quickly, which led to many distinct subspecies. Generally, however, being bitten by a zombie would lead to death, followed by reanimation as one of them.
== History ==
Dating back to the 4th Age, legendary creatures known as "Vampires" were said to have lived in the Amerikan wilderness, consuming human flesh and occasionally transforming their victims into their own kind. Fascinated by this, the sinister V1s0rak took samples of the few vampires they could find, and attempted to re-create them. However, due to the corruption of their DNA samples, it took them many years to find success. 
In 200 AMS, the first test strain the Zombie virus was deployed, reanimating a group of brothers and unleashing them upon a small fishing town. Another test of the virus was deployed in Clambodia, though mutations made it fairly easy to cure, and the strain was abandoned. 
Finally, after creating a strain that turned victims into mindless, cannibalistic berserkers, the V1s0rak deployed their virus into the widespread world, causing the Zombie Apocalypse and collapsing most of society. Only Brighton, an island off the coast of Zombingerend, managed to survive the apocalypse unharmed, due in large part to Alucard, a 4th-Age era Vampire who worked with the Hellsing Organization to protect his adopted home. 
== Mutations ==
Many zombie types existed due to the virus's malleable nature, with several distinct variations developing of the course of modern history.
=== Vampire ===
The original creature, believed to have been created during the dawn of the 4th Age. Notable members include Alucard, Seras, and the Lynch King's Super Secret Service Squad. 
=== Zombie ===
A flesh eating corpse, common throughout the world during the Zombie Apocalypse. Can be killed with a shot to the head, and is generally non-sentient. Most traditional zombies had died out by 1000 AMS.
=== Werewolf-Zombie ===
An upgraded version of the traditional zombie, these creatures featured DNA from werewolves, another 4th Age monster. Gifted to the Lynch King by the Ice Genie, they were used extensively in the invasion of Brighton.
=== Necromorph ===
Also referred to as "Things", these grotesque beings were zombies who, in order to adapt to the harsh wilds of Under-the-dome, grew into smaller and more animalistic forms. Due to their body temperature regulation, they could only exist in cooler areas, like Eastman and Gruganda. Extinct by the end of the 5th Age.
=== Reformed Zombie ===
A zombie that had been trained and housebroken, many of these roamers operated as cannon fodder in the LKSS. Biologically very similar to regular zombies, they had their behavior modified using V1s0rak technology.
