Not all zombies are alike; in fact some of them manage to keep their wits about them, more or less. Unfortunately they still look and smell like rotting corpses, so most of them get shot on sight by humans. But a few have moved underground and are living a marginal life, hoping someday to find a cure for their illness. |

+ | These guys are like the lead zombie from Romero's Land of the Dead. They're brain damaged and some can barely talk but the disease didn't totally liquefy their prefrontal cortex like the other zombies. The Rotten must have some immunity but it didn't kick in right away. They can still think if they try really really hard.
