This will be simple.

I proposes a few small additions/removals for one of the profiles I created in this wiki years ago, zombies.

An accepted calculation for a zombie smashing through a wooden wall was evaluated at Wall level. Since zombies throughout the series are consistently shown breaking through wooden barricades and structures with brute force, this feat should reasonably scale to their Attack Potency and Striking Strength.

They can also destroy wooden doors, which yields this much.

Additions

Some zombies in ''Land of the Dead'' possess acidic properties capable of damaging flesh through corrosive fluids emitted from their mouths with a range of several feet. The stats of the Land of the Dead zombies scale from the previous installments.

Because of this, they should receive:

  • Acid Manipulation /Corrosion Inducement
  • Breath Attack
Screamer Zombies as soon as they spot you, begin emitting a high-pitched Body Snatcher shriek at the top of their undead lungs. This shriek will attract other zombies to beat the humans.

Because of this, they should receive:

  • Sound Manipulation
  • Summoning
Buster Zombie after shaking for several seconds, they will explode in a large green cloud of disease.

Because of this, they should receive:

  • Self-Destruction

Removals

I propose removing Enhanced Senses, Stealth Mastery, and Resistance to Fear from the zombies’ profiles.

The Enhanced Senses justification is mostly based on standard zombie behavior, not clear superhuman sensory feats. Stealth Mastery also feels unsupported, since zombies sneaking up on people is usually just horror presentation rather than actual stealth skill.

As for Resistance to Fear, mindless aggression alone does not qualify as a resistance unless they are shown resisting actual fear-based effects.

Lifting Strength

Minor Content Warning: Contains graphic scenes of zombies violently ripping off human heads and other depictions of gore.


Zombies have repeatedly ripped off human heads and torn bodies apart through raw strength. Since tearing off a human head requires Class 5 levels of force, this should qualify for it.

Tembo

Tembo upscales from the zombies and should scale to the other male elephants in terms of AP, speed, and lifting strength, while also gaining all of their abilities, such as:


Thoughts?
