The Little One's

What if they are pygmy zombies? They've found bones of pygmy Mastadons on an island where they evolved to be smaller due to the restricted food supply. They lasted longer there than anywhere else I believe.

My theory, that I have, which is to say is mine, is this*: Instead of depending on evolution, the zomboids seem to evolve quickly to fill a niche without depending on pesky reproduction. If they continue to evolve, and the food supply is dwindling, then violà, smaller is better.

A scarier idea is Ink breeding zombie babies.

Granted the smaller animals did out live the Dinosaurs...

I think these are just some crazy-hybrid as is Ink Man.

it seems like these guys are ambushers, hunting from the rooftops and treetops. Perhaps the next evolution of jumpers. The one that hit tardust jumped out of a tree, and onto the passenger side door and latched on to him. And then back at the army base, Angel said there were two small ones on the roof, and that they were hunting Angel/kalani. Maybe they're a hybrid? a cross between a smart one and a jumper (dont ask how) they seem to have some level of intelligence, if they are to stalk their prey. Definitely seem more intelligent than the normals who just run at you on sight. Either way these things are among the most dangerous kind the tower's encountered.

kinda reminds me of the jockeys from L4d 2

that's what I imagine they look like, but maybe smaller?

I was just talking to Goodie and Anghil about this. Except I said that Jockey's remind me of Gatekeeper. You know: the rapist personality, and ..... the weird noises

If Gatekeeper ever goes zombie, that is what he's gonna look like.

I agree about the gatekeeper-esque zombie, but the "little ones" remind me of the pack from Dead Space 2.

I think the little ones are kid zombies

But she said it was the smallest one she'd seen yet. She didn't describe it as a kid or kid sized. I wish they'd describe them in greater detail. Lots of them have to be naked now what with all the changing of shape. Are they male/female? What does their skin look like? their eyes? their teeth? Maybe KC is avoiding giving too much away or maybe it's just part of the general trend I've seen in writing away from physical descriptions.

I know but Marcus in the colony had mentioned child zombies and how the dogs had taken one down off him and killed it when he couldn't. I would assume that the small ones could be child zombies or a variant on them as the larger ones have variations.
