File:Quake1.gif In Quake, a Zombie is an undead human that tears chunks of flesh from its head, hindquarters and crotch before proceeding to toss them at the player character for minor damage. The chunks disappear instantly if they collide with an opponent, but stick to walls and other surfaces for a second. The chunks are thrown in an arc, meaning that their opponents can evade these projectiles as long as they remain outside of the throwing range.
