The Undead

The Undead are a result of the nuclear-bombs dropped by Wild-Bill Witchkok during the Frontier-War. Types of Undead include Rotting-Zombies and Zombie-Astrals. Undead possess the memories of their previous lives, although an cannibalistic urge to consume and kill has driven them past human intelligence, making them more akin to rabid dogs. Undead can speak, but only as long as their tongues function. Undead are also generally harmless unless provoked by the smell of fresh flesh. For years there has been a big debate about whether or not the Undead should be considered as people and living beings, or whether they should be classified as animals.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Undead are supernatural beings which have at one point been alive and continue to display some aspects of life after death, although they are no longer living. Most Undead possess bodies that deteriorate over a period of time and can only regenerate through the consumption of living flesh. The blood streams of the Undead contain traces of nuclear waste, tetrodotoxin (TTX) and deliriant drugs including datura.

Genetics and Reproduction

Undead can't reproduce, although a mother pregnant with a baby before being turned Undead will birth an Undead infant. Undead also reproduce through Infection, either by biting or wounding living people.

Growth Rate & Stages

Infection from an Undead will normally take effect after the person is bitten. Transformation will occur in 20 seconds or 30 hours, depending on the type of Undead.

Ecology and Habitats

Dietary Needs and Habits

Undead require high amounts of flesh and blood to sustain their decaying bodies.

Biological Cycle

Over a period of time (normally 2 months) an Undead will go through a state of rapid decomposition, which can be prevented by consumption of living flesh. Some Undead can live indefinitely and some, like the Zombie-Astrals, rarely need nourishment at all.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Undead generally sense as much as Satanimals, but mainly rely on smell and hearing to receive information about the environment.

Civilization and Culture

History

The Undead were created when Wild-Bill Witchkok dropped two nuclear bombs known as "Thin Man" and "Captain Fatbelly" onto what is now known as the Fallout during the Frontier-War. The Sapiens already living there were turned into Undead, as were animals such as their horses, cattle and dogs.
