Slowly shambling, brain eating and unstoppable, these monsters have been glorified by pop culture, and other sources. This stat-block is a representation of your average zombie, cold, dead, and hungry. It spreads its unnatural plague by biting victims, and is very good at hearing and smelling blood and fear. |
