   Keys: undead, infected, zombies, virus, dead, corpse, Jonas virus, zombie, corpses

   Transformation: The turn from human to zombie is extremely fast, often taking only minutes. It is a violent, painful process involving bleeding from orifices, seizing, contortions and bone-snapping. Movement: Zombies move in a shuffling manner until they hear or smell something to go after. They will sprint toward a viable target. Senses: They are blind. Their primary sense is hearing and they are drawn to noise. Loud, consistent noises can distract or lure entire hordes. Smell is secondary. Rain and thunderstorms can mask sound and smells reducing zombie effectiveness at hunting. Weakness: The only way to kill them permanently is to destroy the brain or sever the brainstem.

3. #3Halfbies

   Keys: beyond human, halfbies, hambies, hambie, halfbie, half zombie

   A halfbie is a rare human-zombie hybrid created when a person is infected but their consciousness and willpower overcome the virus preventing a full transformation. They retain their human mind but gain zombie-like physical abilities.

   Superhuman Strength: Far stronger than any human. Enhanced Senses: Especially hearing and smell, allowing them to detect and track individual humans, zombies and other halfbies from a distance. Regenerative Healing: They can heal from wounds that would be fatal to humans, including deep cuts, broken bones, and even re-growing lost tissue over time. This healing is a gradual process that should be described taking place over several posts. Halfbies have normal human reflexes and speed. Halfbies display normal human intelligence and consciousness. They are forbidden to act like feral animals. Halfbies look like normal healthy humans. They are forbidden to have claws, sharp teeth, rotten flesh or zombie features. Zombies react to halfbies by smelling them and moving on. They are drawn to the noises of halfbies but are forbidden to attack.

   Limitations & Weaknesses: Infectious Bite: A halfbie's bite is infectious and will turn a normal human into a full zombie or another halfbie. Hunger: They experience an intense, primal craving for flesh, especially human flesh. The craving is especially strong when injured severely. Eating flesh will heal halfbies more rapidly. Normal food is unsatisfying to a halfbie. Halfbies can eat zombie flesh to stave off hunger, but it tastes bad. Halfbie hearing is so sensitive exceptionally loud noises, such as a helicopter rotor or thunder, cause pain. Halfbies can only be killed if the brain is damaged or the brainstem is severed.
