Entity Description
Poison Zombie
Poison zombies, unlike other zombie types, serve as hosts for 1-4 nesting black headcrabs at a time. They usually attack by throwing headcrabs at their target.
Killing a poison zombie does NOT necessarily result in the deaths of the poison headcrabs it is carrying, even if the zombie is killed with an explosive weapon. A hit with the AR2 secondary fire will sometimes eliminate both the zombie and the headcrabs in one blow.
Placement Tip:In Ravenholm, players usually encounter 1 poison zombie at a time.
