An undead deer. Similar to the
zombie, the zambie wanders the forest, it's
brain capable only of base function. Like the
zombie, the zambie is inexhaustible. Possibly reanimated by contagion or virus, the zambie appears to have a narrow focus, to kill and eat smaller forest creatures and to lie in wait at roadside to ambush motorcycles. Otherwise, it's existence appears to lack purpose.
The process of corporeal deterioration is not slowed by the condition and the progressively rotting zambie
will continue to pursue its singular purpose until it is destroyed. Also like the human derived
zombie, the zambie can only be stopped by destroying the
brain.
In regions populated by inept hunters and human derived zombies, the zambie population tends to increase, suggesting that the virus can spread across species. It is postulated that undead worms might
act as a link, however this remains unproven as there appears to be no way to differentiate an undead worm from a normal worm.
