Zombie/Creature types/ Physical Appearance

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

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

So did I - Kc, could you confirm whether howlers are regular zombies or another variant?

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.

The steroid theory is interesting, thanks for sharing it. I hadn't thought of that yet. Sounds very plausible too.

In Chapter 17 they mentioned that the behemoths were badly stretch marked with leathery skin, that makes me think that they weren't just steroid users turned zombie. Sounds more like they were created somehow, perhaps by evil scientists who <3 zombies but need a little more

Everytime I hear the behemoth I think of this guy. (minus the tubes of course) He was always the most menacing zombie in my mind.

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.

I'm pretty sure Ink is a "howler" he might be the only one, and he shows up alot, or he's always keeping a close eye.

But then again he's at the arena alot, but he is fast.

Also if they call howl, would they also be able to speak, like ink?

EDIT- Ink looks alot different so nevermind what I said due to what KC just said.

Ink's howl can be different... listen closely to Chapter 13 for more specifics.

I just did, and yeah I see what you mean now.Was that your "voice"

I was under the impression that the smart ones = the howlers. As if they are commanding the regular, rank and file zombies. I never thought they were separate zombies.

Great now I have to listen a THIRD time to the podcasts! :-) (This also give weight to the theory that INK is the leader/source/patient zero)

It's Paul.

I see what you did there.
