Description
The screamer looks relatively harmless, but such an assumption could cost you your life; on its own it is one of the most dangerous zombies known to man. the screamers eyes have become little more than wrinkles on its face and its nose and teeth have also fallen off, however, it posesses amazing sensitivity and poor but still functioning hearing. When it notices a human (by either vibrations, movement, or heat) it lets out an extremely loud scream that alerts all zombies in a 5 mile radius that prey is here. Not only will the scream invite zombies to your location, it can even be fatal if heard long enough; the vibrations and high frequency can cause a human head to explode. There are two options for dealing with this, both have consequences.1: you can run away really fast, this usually wont work for two reasons. 1 because the zombies in that area will figure out your gone when the screamer stops screaming and they see you in another area. and 2 It is also very hard to run with a bloodcurdling scream right next to you.
2: you can kill the screamer. If you suceed then depending on how far the zombies are when you kill it you may be left in peace. the problem is killing it though; it doesnt have claws for nothing and cutting off an arm or body part only makes it scream louder. decapitation is the ONLY answer.
The screamer can run relatively fast but never does due to the fact that it cannot see its surroundings and while it possesses extreme sensitivity, this by no means implies that it has echolocation.
UPDATE: The screamer cannot close its mouth.

would you mind if i borrowed some of your zombie designs and combined them to create others?

Not at all! Although if I may ask, is there a reason for this?

just to try and find some inspiration.
the new idea i have: what if this virus had mutated to the point that it was self aware, and was able to mutate its host into any shape at will?

Thats an interesting concept, but at that point the virus would cease to be zombie related at all. As it is, the virus just mutates victims into select forms, although there are a lot of different ones.
I did at one point create a virus that acted similar to the way you described, but it was actually more of a bacteria, and could mutate more than just people. That virus didn't make it to deviantart, but I still remember what it was.

its partly inspired by some of your ideas for different zombies.
some of my ideas, which you might see a few of yours in: a zombie that screams so loud, it can actually cause hearing problems.
a zombie with a large mouth, and a long tongue covered in spines that is actually a feeding proboscis. used to grab targets from afar, and pull them towards its maw.
a zombie mutated to the point that its legs become four crab like ones, and its head is a neck with a mouth of acidic saliva.
and others will be coming soon.

Well, the first and second ones are very similar to mine, but the third one sounds original. I'd like to see that one.
