Poison Zombie (RE2make)

Poison Zombies are a zombie variant that appear in The Ghost Survivors DLC for Resident Evil 2 (2019). They largely appear the same as regular zombies, but their eyes glow white and purple gas constantly seeps out of their mouths. According to a police recording found in the No Time To Mourn scenario, these zombies had mutated after being exposed to a particular gas developed by Umbrella who provided it to the Raccoon City Police. The gas was supposed to kill the creatures, but instead only made them more deadly. While unconfirmed, it is possible that Umbrella had intended for this mutation to occur as part of an experimental process.

The Poison Zombies behave in the same manner as regular zombies, slowly shuffling towards living prey in order to feed on them. However, their bites are much more virulent due to the toxic gases within their bodies which can afflict victims with poison, causing them to fall ill and cough uncontrollably whilst draining their vitality, giving them only minutes left to live unless treated. Poison Zombies can be killed in the same way as regular zombies, but upon death they will release a cloud of poisonous gas. Maintaining distance from these creatures is essential in order to avoid the burst of gas upon the zombie's demise.
