Great pic, Just how I imagined the Bethemoth possibly a bit larger but good pic.

Remember that the Behemoth's aren't slim or short enough to fit through a normal door frame. They're large enough to knock out walls, not just putting a hole in a wall. Even a tall but muscular body can stoop to go through a door frame. Angel and Kalani's tactics wouldn't have worked on anything but something really huge.
Skittles also said that they can't climb. Anything muscular with normal or abnormally long arms would be able to climb with ease.

I think it's best to bring this to the Wiki.

Update their respective pages, if necessary add a heading called 'Theories', 'Unconfirmed' or something along those lines, and use the discussion pages if there are disagreements or different interpretation.
That's the best way to keep track all the zombie-specific information.

But body builders can lose the ability to move in certain ways simply because of the bulk, and the thick skull/skeleton could have changed the way they are able to move. I just see them as bigger in the chest and upper body, but big all over.

Eviebae,

Body builders range of movement is limited do to the extra mass, but they can move like anyone else. Stoop, jump, climb, plus more muscles allows you to handle any extra mass. Example I think of is an obese person vs someone in shape. An obese person doesn't have the strength to do too much with their mass. Obviously the behemoths can get up and move around pretty good, but they wouldn't have trouble climbing anything unless it was due to them being super, super dense. My 2 cents anyway.

Do you guys think that tattooed one is a lead to a bigger plot?
I think that the tattooed one isnt actually not the most powerful zombie
since he attacks the survivors by himself. i mean think about, if you were the leader of all
the zombies and have thousands of zombies to your disposal, you wouldnt really need to
go all commando on the tower. Also if the tattooed one is trying to kill all the survivors,
then why bother with these towers when theres probably larger quantities of survivors
elsewhere, like the colony.

There's a possibility that we've met two super smart zombies. There's the one in the arena that killed Samantha, and it could be a separate one that killed Paul in the Tower. All we truly know is there are some superly smart zombies running around L.A. right around now, but it's unclear as to exactly how many there are.

Without actually being able to see what the really smart zombies we've encountered it's hard to know who is who. As for the Tattooed Zombie/The One With the Markings/Ink/It's Paul becoming a bigger storyline: I think it's guaranteed. They are the gatekeepers to the secret to the outbreak and the very nature of the of this particular zombie apocalypse.

My thinking on these are based on they came from real people. Burt mentioned the smarted you are in life the smarter you are in the undead life. Based on the assumption all these zombies came from real people, here are my theories as to where some of these originated from.

Behemoths - garillas maybe? Or just mutated regulars
Howlers* - regulars that a little more intelligent than the average. Learned they could
communicate like animals by using sounds.
Intelligent ones - genius level people or highly intelligent people. The colored one strikes me as a sociopathic person prior to being changed.
Jumpers - athletes such as basketball players and the such
Little ones - babies and small children
Runners - track runners and the such
Standard zombies - average people
Swimming ones - regulars who learned they could swim
