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.
