Flesh-Eating Zombie	comment	Flesh-Eating Zombies are the type usually found in a Zombie Apocalypse. They consume the skin, brains, or various other organs of the living, and sometimes infect survivors, who become zombies themselves — which makes them a lot like a ghoul, really. Can also be merged with a Voodoo Zombie or Plague Zombie. They show a lot of the characteristics of the actual European folkloric vampire, before Gothic novelists made them sexier and cleverer. This is one of the most common zombie tropes to be parodied; parody zombies always moan for brains, even though that specific form was never very common. A Sub-Trope of Hungry Menace. Overlaps with No Zombie Cannibals when the undead ignore each other as a potential food source. Contrast Friendly Zombie; Attractive Zombies also tend to avert this trope, due to Beauty Equals Goodness. Compare Feral Vampires, this trope's vampire counterpart.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance: Zombies are people who did a magic ritual to gain immortality; as a side effect, their flesh starts decaying, and they need to eat human flesh in order to replace the tissue they've lost. They can actually be fairly intelligent, but only as long as their brains haven't decayed too much. If they want to keep from devolving into mindlessness, they have to eat, you guessed it, braaaaaiiiiiiins! There's also the Deadels, the undead minions of the demon K'Z'K. Why "Deadels", you ask? If you're a world-ravaging demon, you can call your minions whatever the hell you want.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Zigzagged in Dungeons & Dragons. Zombies are usually created by a Necromancer rather than a plague, but later editions included rules for portraying zombies that were "self-perpetuating". Zombies also usually simply try to kill anything that is around them because they hate life, but again rules for supporting flesh-eaters exist. In particular, Ravenloft provides ample support for it, having featured Cannibal Zombies (which are, literally, zombies built by way of this depiction) in 2nd edition, and having the 3rd edition sourcebook "Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead", which spells out the exact combination of salient powers and traits needed to build a Flesh-Eating Zombie.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_78fbc3f4	type	Flesh-Eating Zombie
Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_78fbc3f4	comment	The books The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z by Max Brooks attribute the zombie outbreaks to the fictional virus "Solanum", described as being contagious through contact with bodily fluids in open wounds (i.e. bites, splatter, and deep scratches) and 100% fatal. The virus warps the brain into a new organ that does not require food, water, or even air to survive. Still, even though it's not necessary to sustain unlife, zombies attempt to attack and consume living flesh, largely as a means of spreading the virus. Zombies don't feel pain and can only be killed by destroying the brain — decapitation merely results in a head that can still bite and feed if one gets too close, burning them can take several minutes to fry the brain (during which time they can set their surroundings on fire), and freezing them solid only works until they thaw out again. His short story (and later comic book) The Extinction Parade largely follows the same rules, with the added detail that the No Zombie Cannibals rule applies to all undead, including vampires. By the same logic, since vampires are technically dead already, they can't be zombified or killed by exposure to zombie fluids — they get very sick from it, but they fully recover. There are a few slight but notable differences between Brooks-zombies, Romero-zombies, and Kirkman-zombies from The Walking Dead. People turn into Romero-zombies if they die for any reason, zombie bites just happen to always cause a fatal infection. Brooks-zombies are caused by a virus, and if you're not exposed to a zombie's bodily fluids you won't catch it. People know that Brooks-zombies are created by a virus, it is just untreatable. No one knows what causes Romero-zombies, with the frustration at the lack of an explanation being part of the plot: scientists suspect it's a virus everyone is technically already infected with, but that activates upon death (from any cause), but there is room for some characters to suspect religious explanations, that it is literally the wrath of God. One big difference in behavior is that Romero-zombies can remember basic tasks, and even (after much prodding) learn from their experiences. Brooks-zombies are explicitly robotic automatons, incapable of learning from even the most basic trial and error. In some ways this makes them more terrifying: if you hide somewhere a Romero-zombie can't reach you, after a long time they might eventually realize they can't get in and leave. Brooks-zombies will just keep robotically attempting to reach their goal for days on end. Kirkman-zombies follow Romero-zombie rules more closely (anyone who dies for any reason turns into a zombie), though the one distinction is that he has stated that his zombies can never learn even on a basic level, unlike Romero-zombies.

Naturally, they act this way, though the ZomCon corporation has developed control collars that somehow inhibit the desire, allowing controlled zombies to act as domestic servants. Unusually, the bites of these zombies do not seem fatal, as one character is revealed to be covered in several bite-like scars (presumably from his zombie girlfriend).

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_dcdb5ca9	comment	In Tsukihime, flesh-eating zombies are crossed with vampires. Humans drained by a vampire ("Dead Apostle" in the series' parlance) will first turn into ghouls, animated corpses that instinctively seek to consume flesh. If they are not destroyed, they will gradually rebuild first their body and then their mind as they continue to eat. If this continues long enough (on the order of weeks or even months), they will eventually regain awareness, becoming a full-fledged Dead Apostle themselves. Very few ghouls actually make it that far, though: most of the time, they get destroyed long before their mind begins to come back. It's also known that people with very high magic potential can speed up the process, in extreme cases developing from ghoul to vampire literally overnight.

Decapitating the zombies will not stop them, and this change is lampshaded by one character in the first movie, who cries, "You mean the movie lied?" Zombies maintain a roughly human-level intelligence, and can run and speak provided they still have the right parts, enabling them to taunt and bully their victims, as well as lure them to their doom by impersonating normal humans. They are driven to feed on human brains because it temporarily eases the pain of being dead. A gas called Trioxin is the source of the plague.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_f17c3b1d	comment	Dead Rising has zombies as the hosts of a genetically modified species of parasitoid wasp. The wasp larva increases its host's appetite in order to gain nutrients for its own growth, hence the flesh-eating. The wasps were originally used in an attempt to mass-produce cattle, but one of the queens escaped and started the first zombie outbreak.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_f3368832	comment	Buffyverse: According to Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, zombies don't behave this way unless their masters explicitly tell them to. However, in the Angel episode "Habeas Corpses", the ultimate emergency mode of the Wolfram & Hart office building is to revive dead employees as Flesh-Eating Zombies.

Flesh-Eating Zombie / int_fdb75d6	comment	His short story (and later comic book) The Extinction Parade largely follows the same rules, with the added detail that the No Zombie Cannibals rule applies to all undead, including vampires. By the same logic, since vampires are technically dead already, they can't be zombified or killed by exposure to zombie fluids — they get very sick from it, but they fully recover.
