			Zombies are the unfortunate victims of a [[Tentaculat]]'s attack. Any humans attacked by a Tentaculat will turn into these shambling creatures, which are completely loyal to the aliens and will roam the battlefield and bludgeon or strangle their enemies with inhuman strength. When killed, a Zombie will "hatch" into a new Tentaculat, unless the killing blow was of an [[Incendiary]] (phosphorous) nature, which seems to interrupt the hatching process.

			An aquanaut attacked, but not killed, by a Tentaculat will still undergo zombification, though this has some strange consequences (no points or morale will be lost, the Zombie and resulting Tentaculat will retain the original unit's handheld weapons, which they may use only for reaction fire. ''(Note: These additional effects apply to Chryssalids in EU and need to be verified for TFTD)''

			Luckily for X-COM, Tentaculats are never deployed in [[Terror Mission (TFTD)\|Terror Missions]], so there is no danger of civilians getting zombified.

			Zombies cannot be stunned or captured, nor do they ever leave Zombie corpses. They do not have an in-game research topic or UFOPaedia entry.

			==Tactics==
			In terms of combat capability, Zombies are rather like slow [[Calcinite\|Calcinites]]. The most important things to keep in mind when facing them is that they have no ranged attack and that they're significantly less dangerous than the Tentaculats that "hatch" from them. Be careful with reaction fire and [[Particle Disturbance Grenade\|Particle Disturbance Grenades]] when there are Zombies around - one mistake and you may have suddenly have to deal with a much more dangerous alien at an inconvenient moment.

			When you decide to kill one, make sure to have enough aquanauts and TUs to kill the resulting Tentaculat too. If this is not possible, the best course of action is usually to simply keep away from the Zombie until you get sufficient backup. If you have [[Magnetic Ion Armor]], you can simply "fly" out of their reach.

			Remember that a Zombie cannot move on the turn it is created (e.g. if created on Alien turn 3, it will only be able to move and attack on Alien turn 4).

			TO DO: Unlike EU Zombies, these guys apparently take 90% damage from stun attacks. Test to see what exactly happens to them if stunned.
