Lore
Basic Zombie is the voyage's most familiar face, without distinctive equipment or a lengthy entrance speech. The same recognizable walk links old battles in the yard with encounters farther afield. As landscapes and companions change, this familiarity provides a reference for stranger enemies.
Red Stinger records an ordinary body and ordinary speed. Homing Thistle is more concerned with numbers, sometimes preferring one armored opponent to several of these walkers. The difference lies in the observers and the crowded battlefield, rather than the zombie's appearance.
Arrows may awaken new abilities, and outside forces may supply armor. Such changes come from circumstances, not a secret history belonging to every Basic Zombie. Usually an unnamed attacker, this figure becomes memorable through sheer persistence.
Mechanics
Role
Basic walking zombie
Body durability: 270 HP; normal speed.
The body includes an approximately 90 HP critical reserve; about 180 HP damage reaches critical.
The bare body can receive arrow activation or equipment such as a metal head.
The basic body provides the baseline for critical reserve, equipment, and changes of unit type.
Body and critical reserve
Basic Zombie has no armor. Its body has 270 HP, including an approximately 90 HP critical reserve. Reaching critical from full health takes about 180 HP of damage; the reserve remains part of the same body.
Slow, freeze, knockback, and plant blocking change movement or actions without adding body HP.
Multiple targets in one lane
Each body takes damage independently. A non-piercing projectile resolves against the first valid target while zombies behind it can continue advancing.
Spawn times and movement speeds affect spacing. Similar total durability does not imply the same collision order or arrival times.
Activation by a transformation arrow
A transformation arrow can turn an eligible basic body into a zombie type already seen in the battle or a Silver Chariot. This changes the unit type rather than merely adding HP.
Intact armor such as a cone or bucket blocks this bare-body activation path. Removing the armor exposes the eligible basic body.
Metal head and body layers
The metal-headed reinforcements summoned by Magnet Truck Zombie carry metal armor on a basic body. Sinan Kin can also equip a basic zombie with a metal head or repair an existing one.
Armor and body durability are separate. Magnetic removal acts on the metal layer and does not also remove the 270 HP body underneath.
Body identity and equipment
Basic Zombie can receive a transformation or metal equipment. Changing the unit type, adding equipment, and removing equipment are distinct events, not interchangeable forms of HP loss.
