it seems like you can’t escape zombies
in any form of media these days but this
bunch of the undead are particularly
lethal welcome to watchmojo.com today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 special zombie types in gaming
guarantee for this list we’re looking at
zombie types that have something
different to offer than your usual
ambling fighter and also have to have
been human or humanoid in the past so
not a plant or any other organic matter
number 10
suicide er Dead Island series in this
open world survival title you are
trapped on an island with a zombie swarm
and this specific type should be given a
wide berth at all costs they are
relatively slow and not as openly
aggressive as some of the other zombie
types in the game perhaps as it appears
that the victim of the virus has some
degree of sentience left as they can be
heard groaning for help
even though they are relatively slow
their powerful self-destruct attack will
deal out considerable damage even
killing you if it gets close enough
number nine the volatile dying light
most zombies in this action survival
title can be killed relatively easily
but when it comes to the volatile it’s a
very different story even though they
only come out at night
they’re as quick and agile as the player
easily parkouring just like you when
they inevitably catch up to you they are
quick to inflict damage with their
predator style jaw while also being able
to take huge amounts of damage
themselves moral of the story
bring something other than your fists
number eight uber more dead space – it’s
actually rather hard to put into words
the appearance of one of the most
threatening enemies in this third-person
horror series with few human features
left it chops and stabs at it’s
unfortunate victims whose only hope it
would seem would be to do the usual
shooting of limps
but even this would not stop the uber
more who can regrow lost tissue at an
alarmingly fast rate this makes it
almost indestructible and your only
option for survival is to slow it down
as long as possible
number seven active camo flood halo
combat Evolved they only make one short
appearance in the groundbreaking
first-person shooter but they certainly
are a cool foe to come up against
inheriting all the attributes of a
camouflaged elite aside from the energy
sword they hide in the armory of the
wrecked pillar of autumn as you look to
snap up a handy rocket launcher they
come at you swiping with that typical
flood aggression but the snag is here
you can barely see those pesky
reanimated Covenant number 6 fast zombie
half-life 2 this wasn’t the only zombie
introduced in one of the best games ever
as the poison zombie also got their
debut here back to the fast zombie
though as their name may suggest they
are significantly faster than a normal
zombie in the game despite their bodily
form being largely stripped with the
additional abilities of being able to
jump and climb individually they’re not
overly dangerous but when they travel in
packs they greatly increase their
potency for an extra scare be sure to
shoot the headcrab off a zombie
revealing the chilling skeleton face
with a permanent screen
number-5 husks Mass Effect series these
creatures are certainly not created in
your usual zombie manner capture humans
are placed on huge spikes that slowly
replace all their organs and skin with
some sort of cybernetic material that
gives off an electric charge oh god
they’re still alive they are a
relentless enemy that are controlled by
the Reapers and when in large groups
they can easily overwhelm your squad
their electrical attacks sets them apart
from normal zombie types while their
unique way of being created is a fresh
take on the undead enemy see how the
room is arranged they treated this thing
like some kind of altar number four
clickers The Last of Us this strain of
zombie is actually based on an all too
real kind of fungus that turns poor
unsuspecting ants into vehicles for
spreading the fungus although this real
fungus doesn’t make ants aggressive like
the infected humans are in the game
it is scary how close it comes to
reality in the Last of Us clicker sense
using echolocation and will one-shot you
if they get a hold of you
despite the fungus completely removing
any semblance of humanity from the
victim they remain highly intelligent
and a foe it would not be wise to mess
with number three redeads
the Legend of Zelda series another one
of the best games of all time has an
interesting take on the zombie one that
would appear in later installments of
the series instead of the usual brain
was attacked they wait until their
target comes close and then release a
paralyzing scream
this gives them the opportunity to jump
on their victims back and drain their
life through a powerful constriction
their wooden mast add to their
unsettling appearance but worst of all
it may be aware of their condition as
when one is slain the rest will gather
around their fallen friend ignoring
player even worse though are the
mummified give dose which can screen
multiple times number two
las Plagas resident evil for this
parasite is capable of creating a group
of zombies who are able to use weapons
and work together to attack their victim
it also allows the host to perform basic
tasks and complete many functions which
outwardly appear human look Allen
positive planning similar to the mighty
me from Resident Evil 5 those infected
with the parasite can be controlled and
manipulated awarding the one who wants
that power an army that will
relentlessly attack even in the face of
imminent death of course you only see
what the parasite truly looks like once
an unlucky victim loses their head
before we reveal our number one zombie
type let’s have a look at some honorable
mentions
Oh
number one the witch left 4 dead series
non startle the witch if there’s one
rule to follow in this survival horror
game it’s that for crying and screaming
is unsettling but the true terror
arrives when she comes after you when
that happens your only hope is to have a
few reliable friends on hand to unload
their guns into her they are faster than
you can run and can essentially take you
down in one or two hits so if the witch
is unavoidable
you better have a seriously good
strategy to take her down
do you move there list what sort of
zombie type do you have a soft spot for
it seen anything like this before
