Zombie/Creature types/ Physical Appearance

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Anyone tracking the number of different creatures witnessed so far?

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

Not really, but we should be able to compile a list together.

We've seen:

• Behemoths
• Howlers*
• Intelligent ones
• Jumpers
• Little ones
• Runners
• Standard zombies,
• Swimming ones**

Unique ones:
Ink,

*) While they don't seam to be very different from other zombies, this is all we have on howlers:

Howlers? Ok. A few details on that. There was one that could outside the tower when Pegs dropped the pot. That one didn't appear any different.
We've heard several others do it throughout the series, one in particular also in the tower when Burt showed up. That one didn't look any different either.
The last bit of info I would give is, if everyone could do it, we'd hear it more often.

**) It's not clear how different the swimming ones are from regular ones.

We've seen:
Standard zombies,
Runners,
Intelligent ones,
Little ones,
Behemoth / Tank,
Swimming ones,

What was it Michael faced at the waterplant again? Was that a behemoth too, or something meaner?

And plenty more I can't recall just now.

Jumpers and the one that Michael faced was a behemoth. I think that the Little ones may be the result of Breeding.

Skittles may not have been changed because he could become another Ink, maybe that's why he has survived this long, but he is also good enough to get away.

Maybe skittles IS ink!
Ok.. we also have the Howlers. The ones that call the others in. There does seem to be a kind of Hive Mentality as well.
The Little Ones were also the "droolers" right?
any theories on how big the behemoths are? In my minds eye they're a good 15 feet, blubbery with bits and pieces falling off.

I always assumed the howlers were just regulars w/ 1 extra skill.

And the little ones. Maybe they are dog/cats/hamsters? Hmm....

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

That'd be a good guess, but I think you'd hear a lot of them if that was the case. We just seem to hear one or two at a time before the rest show up.

I see them more as about 7-8 feet with quite a build up of muscle. The zits could be an indication of Steroid use during their lifetime.

[megamanxzero35]

Have we been given any info on how the zombie eyes are different? In the first half a dozen chapters or so there were many times where they would talk about how the eyes were different but never went into detail.

And for the behemoths, do we have any descriptions on how big they are? When we first met them I instantly thought they could be 20 feet tall but now I think they are more like 7-8 feet tall and super muscular.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

The behemoths in my mind's eye are 10-15 feet, skinny arms and fat'ish/blubbery with bits and pieces falling off from all the damage they take.
I imagine this because it sounds like they aren't very fast, but can build up a good head of steam once they start moving. Then Skittles talks about how they can't climb. To me, that means it's a weight distribution issue

[Hollomandious]

I've always just pictured them in a Troll esk kinda way. Like (*sigh*) in the first Harry Potter movie. Just a lot angrier looking and all zombie like.
