("Fast" here means able to move at a rate equivalent to a normal human running speed -- approximately 8 miles per hour/13 kilometers per hour.) If these zombies are alive, they should count as [[Technically Living Zombie]]s. If you spend most of your first encounter standing there staring at one thinking it's [[Not a Zombie]], your chances for survival are pretty grim. Such zombies may be able to maintain peak speeds almost indefinitely without tiring, unlike humans. Line 11 ⟶ 9: {{examples}} ~~== [[Advertising]] ==~~ ~~== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==~~ ~~== [[Comic Books]] ==~~ ~~== [[Fanfic]] ==~~ == [[Film]] == * Zombies in ''[[Zombieland]]'', which is why staying in shape is more important than other zombie stories. Line 25 ⟶ 15: * The 2004 remake of ''[[Dawn of the Dead]]'' featured this type of zombies. * ''[[Return of the Living Dead]]'' was the [[Trope Maker]]. * All the zombies in ''[[Nightmare City]]'', although according to the director, the "zombies" in this case are infected humans, despite otherwise behaving entirely like zombies. ~~== [[Literature]] ==~~ ~~== [[Live-Action TV]] ==~~ ~~== [[Music]] ==~~ ~~== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==~~ ~~== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==~~ ~~== [[Oral Tradition]] ==~~ ~~== [[Puppet Shows]] ==~~ ~~== [[Radio]] ==~~ == [[Tabletop Games]] == * In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' there are some creatures with the zombie subtype that have at least one ability associated with speed (such as haste). The page quote comes from a card developer/designer bringing up the trope on the card discussion of [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Discussion.aspx?multiverseid=194297 Blackcleave Goblin]. ~~== [[Theatre]] ==~~ == [[Video Games]] == Line 51 ⟶ 24: * The zombies in ''[[Saints Row the Third]]'' can run pretty fast for zombies, but still do so with a very pronounced stagger. * ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' has a special enemy called the modern <s>zombie</s> zmobie. Far beating the other misspelled zombies in the game, the modern zmobie has initiative 300, which means that it almost assuredly will get to hit the player first. ~~== [[Web Animation]] ==~~ ~~== [[Web Comics]] ==~~ ~~== [[Web Original]] ==~~ ~~== [[Western Animation]] ==~~ ~~== [[Real Life]] ==~~ {{reflist}} [[Category:Tropes of the Living Dead]]▼ [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] ▲[[Category:Tropes of the Living Dead]] [[Category:Pages Original to All The Tropes]]
