A specific variant of the zombie virus or a mutated strain has altered the behavior of some infected individuals, turning them into kamikaze zombies. The virus affects the brain in a way that overrides the typical zombie drive to feed, replacing it with a singular, suicidal mission.
Kamikaze zombies exhibit a distinctive urgency and a relentless drive towards self-destruction. They are distinguishable from other zombies by their frenzied movements Their behavior is erratic, and they often emit guttural, frenetic sounds as they charge towards their target.
The defining characteristic of kamikaze zombies is their ability to trigger a violent explosion upon reaching their target. The virus has somehow modified their bodies to accumulate volatile substances or gases. When they come into close proximity to a living target, the internal pressure builds up rapidly, resulting in a catastrophic explosion.
Survivors face a heightened level of danger when encountering kamikaze zombies. The typical strategy of avoiding bites and scratches becomes secondary to avoiding the explosive aftermath. The kamikaze zombies may also serve as a disruptive force within larger zombie hordes, causing chaos and destruction.
Strategy for Surviving: Dealing with kamikaze zombies requires a shift in survivor strategies. This may involve creating traps, luring them away from groups of survivors, or developing specialized tactics to neutralize them from a safe distance.
