A Brief Introduction to Zombiism Viruses
By ---

Mortius Amicus: A common form of the virus that causes zombiism. It tends to be harmless and short-lived, hardly affecting the body other than rendering the nervous system temporarily useless (Without any direct damage.)

Mortio Occupant: A rare and dangerous form of the virus that causes zombiism. It takes over one's nervous system and modifies the host's body in harmful ways. No cure, nor reason to; the victim's brain and body would be severely damaged and most likely unresolvable.

Mortius Amicus
The Friendly Zombie Virus Fortunately, the most common form of zombiism is “Friendly Zombiism.” This form still takes over it's host and is related to the rabies virus, however it is short-lived and when it expires the host will not be effected directly by the virus. Most cases end up with the infected returning to their normal state, with the most damage done from walking into objects or tripping over and falling. This is because that when the virus spreads throughout the body, it merely just takes over the conscious part of the brain and only sends weak signals throughout the nervous system to move limbs. The intelligence of the host will drop nearly to that of a vegetable, only making slow and simple movements and the ability to bite and swallow (chewing is beyond the virus) with only the drive to find consumables rich in proteins, fat, and anything that gets close to their mouth. The virus is contagious, and is spread through water and saliva, sneezing included (remember that the subconscious is still active, which prevents the host from making dire moves such as biting too deep into their tongues and halt breathing.) The appearance will not change too much, other than the posture and most likely a dumb-struck look on the host's face. But the most surest way of telling if one is infected is to feed them
