Do we actually have a polling on that? I constantly seem to see people who say they miss the "bees".

But i must say this looks the closest to a baby zombie we could get without the game being banned in certain countries 😄

Like a demented cherub 😛 

 
technically they could do it with the hawaiian shirt zombie, dont change a thing about him, but when he dies he has a few crawlers come out of him, it would look sloppy to have them spawn around him after a few seconds, but just as an example to try, and that bunker buster we dont think about much anymore lol

 
I think that on the internet in general and in the gaming industry of late the "special" zombie lore has already increased by leaps and bounds... the real problem here is that TFP have too much material to use for inspiration. So the most difficult part IMO will be choosing something that is in line with the general look and feel of the game.

  1. Up to now we know that the virus infects not only people who look "almost alive", but also long dead bodies.
  2. We also know it can affect dogs (?dire wolves?), bears and vultures, but for some reason does NOT affect chickens, rabbits, stags/does, boars, mountain lions, coyotes and the normal wolves (oh, I forgot snakes!).
  3. We have seen mutations that give special abilities to the undead, like the jumping skill of the spider, the rallying cry of the screamer or the puking attack of the cop (don't know if we can consider a "special ability" the demo blowing up... seems more like something tied to his pre-death gear).
Based on these points TFP have a wide (but not infinite) range of possibilities for choosing the new special infected (if they wish to keep the current look & feel).

IMO they should also consider to stay in theme with the Arizona lore...

I do agree, seeing more infected animals would be awesome, it could be down the road to, so far, madmole simply teasing some of the special infected, i have high hopes

 
along with vultures, if we wanted a stronger varient, i would go nuts to see a zombified bald eagle and golden eagle imagine being divebombed by those

Nice idea! But then it would also prey on vultures probably... 😁

Edit : actually it would be great if the bald eagle could be like the (alive) wolf and attack vultures which are zombies... she would be the wolf of the sky!

What would be REALLY terrifying is a feral version of the screamer that spawns at night!

Imagine sneaking through the night and suddenly a feral screamer turns her head at you, opens her glowing eyes wide and screams!!  :jaw:
