Everyone knows the phrase: “The dead do not bite,” however, if you believe a lot of horror films that gladly exaggerate this topic, then the dead, turning into zombies, only do that they attack the unfortunate living with one single desire - to taste human flesh. What does a zombie look like? Creepy! The jaw traditionally sags, inarticulate sounds are like something between a groan and a growl. They weave, leaning forward slightly, limp or stretch their legs, unwittingly wave their arms and behave rather stupidly (stumble upon obstacles, fall, crash into walls, etc.)
The walking movie dead
Almost every contemporary knows what zombies look like , since games and films about these characters have already become part of modern culture. Hollywood, regularly releasing films with these monsters, however, like the gaming industry, instilled in the layman a certain stereotype of the appearance of the living dead. You can even highlight some of the signs of these creatures: their body decomposes, because it rots, they do not feel pain, their wounds do not bleed, and the undead are quite aggressive. They are hard enough to kill, much easier to just immobilize. In a word, zombies are harsh, stupid, slow, make inarticulate sounds.
Haiti, Voodoo and the “Real Zombies”
In order to give an exhaustive answer to the question: “What do real zombies look like?”, It is worth remembering that the island of Haiti is considered their homeland. It was there, in the West Indies, the beliefs of Africans intertwined with Catholicism and spawned the culture-religion of Voodoo, which is a confused fusion of magic and religious dogmas. At the same time, the phenomenon of the living dead is not the fundamental foundation of Voodooism. There, turning into a zombie is akin to contract killing. The victim is exposed to magic spells and dies suddenly. She, accordingly, is buried, but later, by order of the sorcerer, they dig out it. The shaman again conducts a mysterious rite over a lifeless body, and signs of life appear in it. The revived corpse does not speak, does not experience any emotions, but implicitly obeys the will of the sorcerer, terrifying others.
Rating cine flesh eaters
It’s not easy enough to unambiguously determine what the most terrible zombie looks like. If you turn to the cinema, a subgenre of zombie movies, then most of them immediately recall two characters. These are dead girls from the movie Night of the Living Dead (George Romero) and from Dawn of the Dead (Zack Snyder). Nothing scares the adult viewer more than dead and revived young children. A scene from "Night ..." in which a baby who turned into a zombie kills her own mother - an excitingly frightening one. And at that moment of the film “Dawn of the Dead” (at the very beginning), when a child suddenly appears in the frame with a terribly torn mouth, the viewer is almost ready to howl from surging horror. Danny Boyle, a quick, infected flesh-eater from the movie “28 Days Later,” decently scares, it is much more difficult to run away from them. The fantasy of the directors did not stop there, mercilessly violating the stereotype of what a zombie looks like in the Day of the Dead, Steve Miner turned the already quick monsters into completely super-fast monsters. Miner deliberately scrolled the scenes of their appearance at an accelerated pace, and the dead themselves gorgeously jumped, ran along the walls and ceiling, and especially advanced ones cleverly dodged bullets.
Chernobyl myths
Even the modern generation is haunted by the so-called “Chernobyl myth” that arose after a collision with a “peaceful atom” after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. All psychedelic legends were fueled by the classified object “Chernobyl-2” - a station for over-the-horizon detection. It was she who gave rise to many stories about mutants and the living dead, which supposedly freely reproduce in the Zone. What do zombies look like in Chernobyl? In the same way that this image of cinema treats us. But there is no documentary evidence of their existence.
Zombies and Minecraft
Zombies are the most common monsters in Minecraft. Alone, they almost do not pose a threat to the player, but a group of several monsters can cause great damage. There are several types of game walking dead - zombie children, ordinary and zombie residents. The lower world is also inhabited by zombie pigs, but in the ordinary world they are almost never found.
What does a zombie look like in Minecraft? In the game, all the animated corpses of the humanoid model. Unlike living characters, the simple dead have a greenish skin tone, and the facial features are very rough, the nose and eyes are depicted by horizontal dark lines. Often their clothes are blue shirts and blue pants, but occasionally monsters can also appear in armor. When a corpse notices a villager or a player, he begins to pursue, during which he tries to get around obstacles. These characters do not consider the water as an obstacle, this is due to the fact that it protects them from sunlight. In direct sunlight, the monsters light up. A zombie resident is a very rare character, he is found in only 5% of cases. They behave in the same way as regular monsters, but differ in large features - large eyes and a hooked nose. Villagers turn into walking corpses after they are killed by zombies. The likelihood that a resident will turn into a living corpse on normal difficulty is 50%, and in a game at a difficult level, every killed resident turns into a monster.
Residents, riders and pigmen
The latest versions of Minecraft include new characters - zombie inhabitants-children, zombie rider and just zombie children. These types of monsters differ from adult living corpses only in smaller sizes, but have their own unique abilities. They are very dangerous, because the speed of their movement is higher than in adults. They can also use weapons that are reduced to their size and wear armor. But these flesh eaters cannot "become adults" and burn out in the sun. A zombie rider can appear with a probability of 0.05%. It looks the same as a zombie child, but riding a chicken. It does not burn in the sun, and the speed of movement is more than high. The underworld contains monsters such as pigmen. What does a zombie pig look like? They are distinguished by pink skin, which is covered with green mucus. If you kill such a creature, then a gold nugget may fall out of it.
