Mark Rosewater<ref>Head designer of the card game [[Magic: The Gathering]]</ref>, in his 3rd podcast about the Innistrad Set said that this trope (at least in its modern form) has it's origins in video games.<ref>Not that innistrad has fast zombies. He was a fan of large masses of [[Zombie Gait|Plodding Zombies]], and as head designer of Magic R&D, he has quite a say in how things go.</ref>. He said that zombies are an ideal video game [[mook]]<ref>not that he used the word mook</ref> because they come in mass and are slow and thus low threats on their own. <ref>Feel free to look at the [[Night of the Living Mooks]] page.</ref> He said Fast zombies<ref>Which he sometimes calls zoombies.</ref> were a progression on that enemy. Either an [[Elite Mook]]<ref>Not that he used this jargon either</ref>, or a Video Game Boss. I find Rosewater's origin explanation quite compelling. If most tropers that take a side on the origin of the Fast Zombies take the same side, I'm sure someone will add it to the page. |
