-These are the basic one's, the most abundant one's. Many call them by other names, but the term you will commonly here are either Zombies or Infected. What makes these guys so dangerous is that the Tiamat Virus has altered their brain into a pack mentality, so they travel in that: packs. Also, unlike the George Romero Zombies of yesteryear, these guys don't shuffle their feet and moan and groan whenever they walk, hell, they don't even walk. They have retained the speed they ran with as humans and they continue to be almost like humans...only dead. Warning, these guys are attracted to noise and bright lights. Take care of yourself around fires and also car alarms, for they will alert a horde of these things in mere seconds.
-One major weakness these things have is something that we, as humans, suffer from: We die after a few hits. A headless zombie is a dead zombie and a mauled zombie is a dead zombie as well, take it that you took out its heart and its head as well. A good gun can end a zombie, as well a enough blunt trauma to the brain to cause lacerations. Be careful if you go melee, for they could grab you and take a nice bite. You don't need to know what happens when a Zombie bites you...
-Silent, deadly and extremely fast: Hunters are the special Zombies that have reacted differently to the Tiamat virus. Their muscles seemed to have been enhanced and they have developed a special knack of scaling high-rise buildings, stalking survivors and then pouncing on them like a cat on a mouse, clawing and beating on the fallen survivor with razor-sharp nails and clenched fists. Hunter's are the quickest zombies that I have seen to date and are the hardest to kill...if caught unawares. Once they pounce on you and you are alone, I'm sorry...you're as good as dead. Hunter's also are one of the few zombies that have retained the common sense that we all have. Where as other zombies will follow anything that's shiny or any noise, Hunter's can choose what they want to do and where they want to go, making them even more dangerous.
-One major weakness these guys have is that they hate light. Anything with light will mess with there vision, or so it seems. I have held a flare to a Hunter who has pounced on me and he backed off, swapping at the flare to try and see me again. Hunter's also once they have pounced and missed, are extremely vulnerable to counter attacks. It seems once their bodies hit an object, the muscles coil and they have to take some time to react to jump away and try again. Catch one off guard if you can and eradicate them the same way as you will a normal Zombie.
-These ugly things are entirely disgusting and dangerous: looking like a bloated bee-sting victim mixed with some kind of other animal with an extremely long tongue, mainly an Iguana I guess. Like all the others, the name you give them depend on the person, but I heard many people call these things Smokers, mainly for the coughing noise they always seem to emit as well as the cloud of smoke they deliver when they are killed. Whatever they are called, a good survivor will know how to react when they are encountered with a smoker: break the line of sight. Gifted (Or cursed) with that long tongue, a smoker can stretch it to the length of a football field and wrap it around the prey, the saliva on the smoker being extremely sticky, wrapping around the prey around the neck or body, strangling him or her or dragging to back to the Smoker, who can finish it off with his hands. Although not entirely tough, Smokers always seem to stay at a distance, making him hard to melee.
-Like all Zombies, Smokers can be killed with enough trauma to the head of chest cavity. However, unlike most Zombies, a Smoker is a ranged fighter. It will never engage in melee unless his tongue has brought back prey or if pushed to it. Most clever survivors use this to there advantage: sneak up on a Smoker and it will most likely run away rather than stick and fight. Be warned: once a Smoker is killed, it does not merely fall dead. Either the Tiamat virus has changed its body or maybe it's the volatile mixture of the saliva, but once a Smoker is dead, it will blow, unleashing a thick and disgusting cloud of smoke. Although not lethal...it smells really bad.
-Ok, these things are most disgusting than those Smokers. Slow and dumb, you would think that these would be a safe kill right? Well, even the smallest dogs can kill you with a well placed bite. What would you call these things? Well, we all call them Boomers for the sole reason that they...well, go boom. A boomer is a walking vial of bile, a disgusting mixture of mucus and vomit that when protruded out of the body of a Boomer, becomes a calling card for all Infected in a miles radius, the smell of the bile attracting all towards any Survivor that has been hit with the mixture. Boomers are extremely great at this and many have killed a Survivor by hiding in small enclosures and vomiting there lethal dose on unsuspecting survivors.
-Boomers are extremely easy to kill compared to others. They are weak and only a well placed shot anywhere can kill a Boomer. However, reckless survivors have become victims by killing a Boomer. Once a Boomer dies, he explodes much like a Smoker, unleashing the bile in a spray everywhere, coating anything and everything with its bile. A dead Boomer is just as deadly, so be careful when going melee.
-Back in my nightmares when all of these started, I used to see something of equal size and danger. These things ran quickly towards me and beat me to a pulp, making me their next target in a matter of seconds. I woke up and I realized that nothing happened, all of it was a dream. However, the next day, I saw my nightmare become a reality and it was scary. These...Tanks...are dangerous. Really dangerous. I don't know how they came to be, how they decided to become this big, but they did and it's becoming certain that they are the toughest adversity you will face. Quick, strong and heavily armored, a Tank can lift just about anything and toss it at you, smack you with its balled up fist or just run over you.
-A Tank...sadly, has almost no visible weakness. I mean, it's super big, so I guess one weakness would be it's size. Just hide in a small corridor and it should not be able to reach you. Trauma matters no to these guys so...good luck.
