Powers
Zombie State: The Snyder Zombies are undead creatures who exist purely to devour the flesh of the living. Unlike other zombies, the Snyder Zombies tend to maintain their speed and stamina longer, capable of moving at their top speed even during advanced stages of decomposition. The Snyder Zombies have the following abilities due to their state:

• Undead: The Snyder Zombies are typical undead zombies - They cannot be stunned or killed through conventional means, except a shot the head, decapitation, or any other effect which destroys the brain. Snyder Zombies are immune to toxins, disease, poisons, and other similar effects. The Snyder Zombies do not have any additional damage protection, but are simply not affected by such, capable of ignoring limbs being missing, grievious bodily harm, etc.
• Movement: Snyder Zombies are capable of full movevment and agility actions regardless of the state of their being. Snyder Zombies can move up to two areas per round and make 'push' their endurance for a full-on run for limited periods of time. As they do not tire, they can run for several blocks before losing interest or being unable to maintain speed.
• Horde Mentality: The Snyder Zombies are much more like a group of pack hunters - easily spotting prey, moving in as a group, and attacking full-bore. The Snyder Zombies will opt for easier prey when presented with it, so if two people are running and one falls, the entire horde will stop to finish off the downed victim. Unlike other zombies, the Snyder Zombies seem to take their queues from an almost animal presence within them, attacking the easiest prey and throwing themselves fully at an object or defenses to breach them.
• Zombification: Unlike Romero Zombies or Walking Dead zombies, the only way to become a Snyder Zombie is through a bite. The dead who are not bitten do not rise as zombies, nor can they rise even if feasted upon. If a Snyder Zombie gets a Red Fighting FEAT against an opponent, they have achieved a bite. The victim will have two minutes to two days before they turn, requiring an additional Endurance FEAT for every hour they are affected. For every two hours, the victim's Endurance drops by -1cs until reaching Shift 0. Once either the victim has failed an Endurance FEAT or reaches Shift 0 Endurance, they will Immediately turn, as seen with ana's husband Luis and countless others. The cause of the zombie 'virus' is unknown, and treatments do not seem to be working. It is assumed a cause can be discovered with a character who has In (40) reason and skills related to biology/medicine, but that's just a guess and left up to the Judge's discretion.

Contacts:
No Snyder Zombies have contacts. They will not recognize contacts nor will they be able to be socialized like Bub or Big Daddy.

Limitations:
Snyder Zombies have the following limitations:

• Hideous Appearance: Snyder Zombies often look like they have been through serious trauma, and cannot hide what they are. They suffer -1cs reaction bonuses.
• Animal Intelligence: The Snyder Zombies are little more than animals, and cannot 'learn' or adapt accordingly. The strength is in the mass/horde.
• Sole Purpose: The Snyder Zombie's sole purpose is infecting others and feasting on flesh. There are no other purposes and cannot be resisted.

Notes:
Again, the Snyder Zombie has since been repeated in different literature, movies, and entertainment. I think that it's difficult to fully address the differences in those respects, but I think it was important to include them and I think that Snyder Zombies can be quite terrifying.

And no, no zombie baby stats....

Well...
