   Keys: The Green Flu Apocalypse, Green Flu, Zed

   Enabled · Order 0

   Entry settings

   A sudden viral outbreak rumored to come from livestock turning people rabid, mutating them into hostile and aggressive creatures, or worse, specific variables of carnage. Only a few remain surviving after a year into the epidemic, as asymptomatic carriers, ergo more of the same problem. Transmissible through airborne pathogens or blood and saliva. Antisocial behavioral symptoms, severe irrational belligerence, hair loss, pale skin, jaundice, and the necrosis of the flesh, begin anywhere from 5 minutes to a week. Those that are infected, common or a specific mutation variant, seem to collect in packs and communicate, indicating some amount of remaining intelligence, albeit primitively.

   Keys: The Hunter, Hunter, Jumper, Pouncer

   Enabled · Order 1

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having gifted the host an abnormal proficiency for athletics and leaps, typically alone. Mountain lion hunting pattern, stalks prey and pounces from height or a concealed position to attack, to then viciously maim and claw their prey. While quiet, it's not impossible to hear one, as they typically growl before engagement of their prey or howl as they begin their pounce. They can also be detected through the very mobility that makes them a bastard to defeat, hearing them spring from rooftops and land, or the stomps and clops of their typically quadrupedal gait.

   Keys: The Spitter, Spitter, Acid Zombie

   Enabled · Order 2

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having increased the production of stomach acid in the host sevenfold, debilitating it's own bodily functions from the inside out yet proving a nasty attack to any unfortunate to come across it. Typically in a 'team' with another Special Infected. The pattern of attack on this variant seems to rely on support of an engagement rather than the initiation of one. They are slow, fragile and loud due to their hacking and gurgling as the corrosive, deadly acid they secrete has eroded their throat. However, they seem to have an innate sense for trajectory, as their primary form of attack is spitting the acid at impressive distances at their prey, to intelligently block paths of retreat in a puddle, or directly splash someone with it for devastating, horrific results.

   Keys: The Smoker, Smoker, Tongue Zombie

   Enabled · Order 3

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having grown tumors that are filled with a spore-like cloud over the host's body or face, growth in height, alongside severe chronic respiratory illnesses, the elongation and stretch of the tongue, alongside of an abnormal strengthening of the muscle itself. Can work alone or in a 'team' with another Special Infected. The pattern of attack on this variant is like a marksman, they aim to engage prey from afar in high positions, or in concealment, to cast and snatch their prey in their long, constrictor-like tongue. When a survivor is ensnared by this tongue, they are either hung, squeezed to death, or dragged to the Smoker to be brutally mauled. They are the most dangerous to lone survivors, but easily detectable due to their size and distinctive whooping cough or sputtering, plus they are rather slow.

   Keys: The Boomer, Boomer, Big One, Exploder

   Enabled · Order 4

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having bloated the host's body with bile to a near bursting point within their own skin, having grown boils and tumors alongside the host's body. Typically in a pack with Common Infected. The pattern of attack is to rush in from a crowd of Infected, or a concealed position and vomit their bile on a survivor, the bile secreting pheromones that seem to attract every Common Infected within a 100 meter radius. This is most dangerous to groups, as if multiple are coated in the bile, it's a lot of hordes and attention that can be fatal. They are the most common Special Infected mutation, and also the easiest to dispatch, due to their loud bubbling noises from their guts and exceptionally distinct size. Plus the pressure built within their bloated body makes them especially fragile to any external forces, making them easy to 'pop' like a balloon, although the explosion of their bodies tends to follow with the bile, causing unintended consequences to those lacking caution in killing the Boomer.

   Keys: The Charger, Charger, Rammer

   Enabled · Order 5

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having stimulated muscle growth, especially in the legs and arms, to an absurd yet deadly degree in the host's body, plus height growth. Typically alone or in a 'team' with another Special Infected. The pattern of attack is to charge like a bull from a concealed position or on sight of their prey with their dominant, muscular arm, carrying the survivor away with impressive speed to be eventually rammed and slammed gruesomely into the ground. This is one of the more universally dangerous Special Infected, as if prey is alone, there is no saving grace to their attack, or if the prey is in a group, they can turn the stack of survivors into bowling pins, and the Charger — the bowling ball. They are also notably resilient to any kind of trauma or damage to their body, but not impossible to kill. Due to the tunnel-visioned nature of their attack pattern, they can be thankfully remarkably easy to avoid if a survivor remains aware of their surroundings. They also tend to scream out as they charge, making the process of subversion easier. However, even if they cannot complete their charge, they will still brutally swing and punch the prey to death, although they will be much slower without the momentum of their charge.

   Keys: The Jockey, Jockey, Short Zombie, Jester

   Enabled · Order 6

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having shrunk the host's height, stimulated muscle growth in the legs, yet irreparably damaged the spine and back of the host's body, causing a distinctive hunch in their spindly gait. Paradoxically, they are also rather nimble and agile. Typically alone. The pattern of attack is to jump and straddle on top of a survivor's shoulders from either height or a concealed position and ride their prey into danger or away into concealment by clawing at their eyes and face whilst perched on the prey, using their position to steer them around as they viciously attack and maim their prey. This is one of the more elusive variants, rare to be seen yet a unique challenge as all the rest of the Special Infected. Also universally dangerous to a lone survivor or group of survivors, due to the fact they can drag their prey into all kinds of areas with their unique style of attack. They are also notably hard to spot due to their distinctive short height, able to hide and stalk in spaces commonly overlooked, however if a survivor is aware of their surroundings, they can hear the Jockey's incoherent giggles and laughter, like a hyena, and dispatch them rather easily due to their fragile nature.

   Keys: The Tank, Tank, Roid Zombie, Behemoth

   Enabled · Order 7

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus having stimulated immense and intimidating muscle growth in the upper body and arms of the host's body, plus endurance and strength, however due to the intense imbalance of upper body and lower body in the host's body, has to run and walk on their knuckles like a gorilla. Paradoxically, they are rather fast. Typically alone. The pattern of attack is to rabidly chase and stomp down to their prey, utilizing their steroid-like strength and muscles to brutalize and gruesomely beat their prey to death. This is the most dangerous variant of Special Infected, imbued with nightmarish resilience to pain and damage to the host's body, plus the freakish power in their attacks, to encounter The Tank is to have already died. While not impossible to kill, it's better to run from it, as in a straight engagement, they tend to win against survivors due to their sheer size and weight behind their swings when they get in range with their prey. Naturally, due to their weight and size, the shaking of the ground is a good indicator to a Tank's presence, and the roars they shout out as they engage their prey.

   Keys: The Witch, Witch

   Enabled · Order 8

   Entry settings

   A unique variant of Green Flu infected, the virus mutation interestingly affecting only female hosts, emaciating the host's body, stimulating nail growth, alongside intense mania and maladaptive behaviors within the host's mental state. Typically alone, though rumored to work with other Witches as well. The Witch does not have an initially aggressive state toward survivors, docile until provoked, however the criteria of this provocation is what earns the Witch her remarkable danger. Light-sensitive and keen for noises, plus any close physical proximity, any combination of these things can set off what looks to be a crying, sobbing woman into a cannon of claws and lacerations. It's been argued whether her typically passive state, where the Witch is often sobbing or whining in a seated position, is a lure for prey or simply the state it exists in on a common basis. Regardless, they are the most elusive and least studied variant, not commonly seen as they are often in incredibly concealed positions, solitary creatures in their perceived sadness until disturbed, to which they become fast, screaming scissors that can kill a survivor instantly. Even the subject of whether they are passive or not has been argued, as they have been rumored to be able to roam as well with the same amount of sensitivity that leads to their tenacity. Thankfully, when present, they can be easily detected through their sobbing, the snarls before they attack, the screams they howl when they do, or the distinctive long claws for nails that they have.

    Keys: Francis

    Enabled · Order 9

    Entry settings

    A survivor grouped with Zoey and asymptomatic carrier of the Green Flu, the relationship between her and Francis is playful and light-hearted, as she doesn't quite take his serious, pessimistic demeanor very seriously, much to his chagrin. However, they both bond over the shared need for collective survival, and have no truly negative undertones between them as friends and battle buddies.

    Keys: Bill

    Enabled · Order 10

    Entry settings

    A survivor grouped with Zoey and asymptomatic carrier of the Green Flu, the relationship between her and Bill is familial and deep, as she relies on Bill for comfort and nurture in her most emotional moments within the apocalypse, and looks up to the wisdom of the old veteran, even if she doesn't always agree or understand his motives sometimes. She respects him heavily.

    Keys: Louis

    Enabled · Order 11

    Entry settings

    A survivor grouped with Zoey and asymptomatic carrier of the Green Flu, the relationship between her and Louis is friendly and honest, as they tend to talk the most often between each other in the group, always playfully teasing at each other and laughing. They keep each other's spirits up, both acting as morale for the group and themselves.

13. #13

    Keys: Zombie, Common Infected, Infected

    Enabled · Order 12

    Entry settings

    The average mutation that most afflicted with Green Flu undergo, necrosis of the flesh, jaundice, pale skin, intense belligerence, incoherence, antisocial behavioral symptoms. Typically in packs or alone, can occasionally form crowds or hordes. The pattern of attack is to rush wildly at anyone uninfected or, even more curiously, carrier, and beat them to death by wailing their limbs at the prey until they die, upon which they then consume the flesh of the dead, though the feeding on their prey isn't dependent on it's death. Despite their primitive, rabid form of attack, they can be rather unpredictable, able to sometimes swerve survivor attacks or coordinate group rushes at their prey. They can be detected by their growls and whines while idling, walking and shambling around roaming freely, or sitting and laying around. They are easier to take on isolated, as they are relatively fragile and easy to dispatch with enough reflexes and dexterity, though they are deadly in groups as they can dogpile their prey in their windmills of attack and bites.
