So what do you call the zombies?

[Feycat]

I like noting that Youtubers and other players have actual names for the various zombies. Here's ours, what are yours?

[Old Crow]

I call the zombie mother Lois. Because she looks like Lois Griffin.

[Crashtian]

Infected police officer is Wiggum (SImpsons) , Zombie dog is a Zoggo, Demolisher is Degroot, (last name of Team fortress demoman)

[Rotor]

Zs to me.  If I have to describe them.

 

Cop, demo, hoodie, spatz kid, big momma, stripper, biker, logger...you get the idea.

 

Ya, I am not that creative.

[Adam the Waster]

I call crawlers wiggles 

 

And Radioactive bikers "oh dear God no" 

[DocRussel]

I edited the XML and renamed everyone, even the animals and traders.  A bit of a pain since you have to rename the regular zombie, the feral version, and the radiated version.  But when I unhide the zombie health bar, it shows all of their names and is worth it.

 

Stripper is Girl Gone Wild

Lumberjack is Red Green

Chicken is KFC Volunteer

etc

I just call them random names whenever they appear, depending on the situation and how they maybe scare the crap out of me.

None of them names will pass the "forum language rule filter", so I won't try and list them.

I don't want to get yet another never-expiring warning from one of the moderators, for my - of course always very constructive - contributions 😬

I call the Tourist Jabba the Hutt.

 

The fat lady is Crazy Fat Ethyl after a ‘70’s slasher film.

 

The Acid Cop is Sgt. Owsley after the guy who made LSD in San Fran back in the ‘60’s (aka Bear, if you’re into the Grateful Dead.

 

The Lumberjack looking guy is Paul Bunyan.

I say "Fat @%$#" in my Dr Evil voice when I see the tourist or the cop.

 

[Syphon583]

I don't really have names for them (I'm boring) but I just have to say, I LOVE the Large Marge reference.

 

(I'm really curious how many know what that's from)

Yeah. He just died too.

[OneManStanding]

I just refer to them as zombies -- although I make a point of big zombie, cop zombie, biker zombie, bomber, dog, birds, leaper, radioactive... these are the ones you need to worry about generally. However, when my mic is playing up and I sound like a Space Marine talking over battle coms as I blast away with my auto-shotgun, I do tend to call them Heretics.

It tickled my conscious but I couldn't recall where I heard of it before.  After I Googled it, I was like Oh yeah....

Makes me think Callum dabbles in cannibalism for some reason  🤔

[AllTheGoodNamesAreInUse]

The tourist zombie my group calls "Fat D**k", or occasionally "Plump Richard".

 

Wights it depends. Regular ones we call "Walter", but the feral or rad wights we call "Betty".

So slightly off topic, but the first time I ran across a feral crawler, I literally said "Whose a big zombie now, yes you are!"
