Fast-Dumb Zombie
Type Undead
Very high speed (Sprinting)
Extremely low intelligence
Weapon of Choice Biting to turn others into Zombies, Eating Your brains, outrunning you
These are somewhat trickier. While they still just go in a straight line towards you, they are able to run like fucking tri-athletes. These zombies are caused by, what scientists call, "Mysterious Forces" that randomly beset people and cause them to desire eating human flesh (especially Brains.) But they are as dumb as the Slow-Dumb zombie, and doing something like shutting a door in front of them will baffle them.
Trying to outrun Fast-Dumb Zombies is almost a sure fire way of being killed, as not only are these Zombies able to run at superhuman speeds, but they have unlimited stamina. So even if you managed to run fast enough not to get caught, the moment you run out of puff, you are a goner. Fast-Dumb Zombies tend to gather in ever-growing swarms around whomever they are attacking, so don't ever be lulled into a false sense of security thinking there are only a few.
To defeat zombies such as this, it is best to get to a high place, block any easy entrances, and start chucking solid projectiles such as rocks. When you run out of rocks, break out a semi-automatic of some sort.
The best way to slaughter these muthas is an angry black man with a shotgun. Failing that, a nuclear weapon will suffice.
See the documentary, "Dawn of the Dead" for information on this type of zombie.

Stats Low strength
High speed (Running)
High intelligence
MacGyvering
Weapon of Choice Outsmarting you, trapping you and MacGyvering you.
This type of zombie is one of the more dangerous ones, seeing as they have aquired a great amount of knowledge through extra curricular activities, such as reading. What this means for you survival is simple: Stay away, they will find methods of MacGyvering your ass! Given half a chance they can make everthing from coffee (which is another thing they crave in addition to brains) to deadly weapons given a bag of peas.
Ways of dealing with this kind of zombie: 1. Do not expect to be able to run away (seeing as they are starving and you have two things they want, coffee and a brain, they will go after you in a close to light speed) 2. As to counter point 1. you should always carry at least one of the two things they want in order to act as bait, carrying a spare brain might cause unwanted attetion to yourself so Id suggest a lot of coffee would be the way to go. 3. If all else fails as a last resort you could try throwing books, these zombies are notorious for their knowledge and who knows they might just sit down and read some (if you're lucky).
