Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248

[Form]

The comparison that I saw everywhere, for years, was zombies. Not alive, but they look like it from a difference and only able to make more of themselves by victimizing other things.

Zombies differ between different bits of fiction, though. Sometimes they're classic undead creatures (so dead, but magic) and sometimes they're living beings infected by something else (a virus or a parasite).
