A Zombie, in a general description, is a non-living person who has lost his or her sense of identity or self-awareness, and is only interested in the consumption of any living organism around, no matter what the cost. Overall, MOST are not a very intelligent group of creatures, but tend to make up for this deficiency in mass numbers. A lot of people have mixed ideas of what zombies actually look like. Some people believe zombies are bloody creatures with missing limbs and such, however a zombie can look just like a normal person, a person that has simply been bitten. One thing is almost certainly true in every zombie tale, if you're bitten by one, you will become one. The state of “zombieism” is almost always severely contagious, and often tends to spread like wildfire.
