Increases severity, particularly in urban environments Severity significantly increased.Įnhanced Motor Control: Nutrient flow to the parietal lobe increased, improving movement and coordination. Lumbrical Hypertrophy: Significantly strengthens zombie grip making it nearly impossible for prey to break free. Increases severity.Īdrenal Surge: Mutation of the adrenal cortex causes adrenaline over-production, increasing alertness and aggression of zombies Hyperosmia: Thinning of the nasal epithelium significantly heightens zombie sense of smell. Prey more likely to remain intact and become a zombie Vampiric Hunger: Zombie prefers to suck the blood from its prey rather than eat its flesh. Prey more likely to remain intact and become a zombieĬathemeral Shift: Stimulation of primary visual cortex improves vision in bright sunlight. Temporal Lobe Manipulation: Zombies attracted to movement and will abandon victims once dead. Enhanced sight and hearing increases severity Lactic acid buildup is lethal and destroys higher brain processes and personalityĮnhanced Sensory Integration: Nutrient flow to the occipital and temporal lobes increased. Turns dead into zombiesĪnaerobic Resuscitation: Infected brain cells switch to anaerobic respiration. Increases infection ratesĬytopathic Reanimation: Formation of complex neural structures enables re-animation of damaged cells and restoration of lower level vitals. Significantly increases infection ratesĬannibalism: Extreme compulsion to bite or eat other humans significantly increasing infectivity as well as lethalityĪutophagia: Compulsion to bite or partially devour own body - typically fingers or skin. Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the GI tract causes frequent vomiting. Lack of hygiene increases risk of infection Polyphagia: Compulsive hunger forces continuous eating. Hyper Salivation: Inflammation of the submandibular gland increases saliva production and infection rates Causes neurological damage resulting in death Increases infectivity and slows future research speedĪcute Encephalitis: Multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain triggered. Psychosis: Psychotic episodes lead to occasional bursts of extreme violence which can be lethal. Significantly slows future research speed but reduces infection rates Can be fatal and significantly slows future research speedĬoma: Neuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Slows future research speed but slightly reduces infection ratesĭelirium: Reduction in cognitive function causes irrationality and paranoia. Photophobia: Sensitivity and pain when eyes exposed to sunlight. Insomnia: Inability to sleep makes people irritable and less productiveįever: Increase in temperature, contagiousness and severe dehydration, which can be fatal
