Poll of the Day > C/D "Type 1" Zombies Won't attack aliens who look similar to humans..

(+) Yeah! (+)

Type 1 = Zombies that only target humans, no animals or anything.

And for the purpose of this thread, the aliens cannot be infected and won't turn into zombies
And it could be any alien. Such as vulcans/saiyans whatever.

I had an argument with a friend a few weeks ago about this. He was convinced they would attack due to looking so "similar", which i disagreed with because if it was based on looks alone, not only would they attack other zombies, but things like scare crows and mannequins would be an instant win against them.

Clearly they have a way to differentiate between "humans" and "animals", so why wouldn't they be able to differentiate between humans and aliens?.

I guess it depends on what attracts zombies to people?

---

you could write it either way and it would work. "type 1" is not a detailed enough explanation of how they work, which is why this is a question in the first place.

Assuming that the aliens were human-like, they'd almost certainly be attacked.

Scarecrows and mannequins don't move. And keep in mind that even when humans are heavily covered (to insulate against zombie attacks) to the point where you can't tell it's a human under there, they still get attacked.

Zombies dont know the difference, they even try to eat mannequins

Presumably they attack humans because of their scent? So I guess depending on if the aliens smell like humans too?
