In the world of zombies, the're two distinct kinds. One is the devine zombies. These are the zombies that usaully have the need to feed on brain but have no explanation for returning to life. The next zombies are the diseased Zombies, which are usaully a millitary creation or some kinda bacteria. These Zombies usaully have the ability to pass on the disease and infect the living. After the first death of a diseased zombie, they usaully go through rigormortis. First becoming stiff, but soon it will wear off and the zombie will have full contol over its body. These zombies usaully differ from movie to movie, but all are still dangerous.

Next there are the zombie distinctions, which determine their eating habits, motion, thinking, and probably the most important, death. First are the zombies eating habits. Some zombies eat only brain, while the other zombies eat brain and flesh. Zombies move differently depending on what kind they zombie they are. The biggest and most important motion in a zombie film is a fast or slow zombie. Other important motions fall into this such as, climbing, jumping, and swiming. These determine how the zombies will attack and catch their prey. Some zombies have the ability to actually think and talk. This can make it harder for the Living to escape the grasp of the undead, or it can help the living to understand how the undead are doing what they shouldn't, Live. The most important distinction is whether the zombie can be "killed" or not. Most zombies will "die" by a shot to the head or a removal of the brain from the body. In some case's zombies can die like any normal human, by destroying their major organs. Freezing, burning, or Shocking may destroy a zombie, or it may just make it worse. Unfortunatly some zombies cannot "die" at all.
The're three stages to a zombie in which the they changes over time, but this is only for the diseased zombies.
Stage one is when a person first dies and becomes a zombie. The skin is still fair and their wounds are still fresh. Blood is still dripping from their bodies and may still have appearances as if they were still alive.
Stage two, the zombies skin has gotten pale, their wounds have dried up, and blood has dried giving them a more deadish appearance.
Stage three, the zombies are probably not skin color anymore, their bodies have begun too wither away. Bones are more noticable and their bodies have started to rot or may have already rot.
These are important aspects to zombies and determine what kind of zombies the human race will be deal with.
