Crawler
Low to the ground but deadly close, they crawl from the shadows.
The Crawler is a distinct variant of the infected found throughout Knox County following the Kryptos virus outbreak. Unlike standard walkers that maintain an upright posture, Crawlers have lost motor function in their lower limbs and instead move on all fours. This physical degradation does not diminish their aggression; they remain deadly predators driven by the same insatiable hunger as other zombies.
