Zombie Mutations

Projectile Zombies aka Spitters

Spitters are zombies with a strange mutation causing glands to grow in and around the throat which produce an infectious venom that the spitters use to infect unsuspecting humans, spitters tend to stick to high ground because of this the spitters legs have mutated into a frog-like state allowing them to jump across buildings so they can stay on high ground. Spitters venom is only infectious if it stays on your skin for a prolonged period or gets in your mouth, eyes or any open wounds. Spitters have pale green skin, frog-like legs, bright green sacks on their neck and upper chest and have the usual cloudy eyes and black stains around the mouth and nose. Spitters tend to stay near hordes of biters so they can easily sneak up on any unsuspecting prey as the humans will be too focused on the horde. Some survivors theorise that humans who were heavy smokers became Spitters once infected because of the build-up of tar and chemicals in their system caused the spitter mutation.
