Even when decapitated, the head will remain active, even though it would be practically harmless at such point. Despite severely weakened frames, they will continue to hunt for living animals to consume. While the walkers are notoriously weaker than humans, the only way to kill one is to destroy the brain. The brain maintains limited abilities of the body, allowing for movement of the limbs (provided that they are not decomposed to the point where the bones are not strong enough to bend without breaking), jaws, neck, and even the use of its sensory systems.
They show no other bodily function that relates to a human, showing no signs of self-healing or response to extreme temperatures. They do not appear to feel or respond to pain, can survive even the most brutal injuries, and despite their bottomless appetite for flesh, they do not need food, water, or sleep to function.
Reanimated human beings, while not immortal, will not "die" under typical conditions that would ordinarily cause the death of a living person. Zombie: The reanimated corpse of a human being that has regained limited function and mobility, as well as developed an insatiable hunger for flesh. The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi." The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African, and compares it to the Kongo words "nzambi" (god) and "zumbi" (fetish).įor more details, read Zombie on Wikipedia.
