Great round everyone. I'll post the description in the other thread

[brynklord]

Glad I finally got something into the finals! Feels good man.

I will definitely be participating in the Character Forge more often. You guys have really inspired me.

This is the Regurgitator, a super zombie which swallows already been killed standard zombies, and spits them back out reanimated with twice the speed and power. I'm guessing this would be a mini boss of sorts, or an equal to the tank, but far more annoying because of its ability to bring back the undead.

Good luck to all, looking forward to what everyone else comes up with.

The Howler: A tank-like zombie that rushes it's target with it's spiked end exposed. When threatened, It attempts to shield it's bloated arm. The Howler takes more damage when shot in his bloated arm, but it causes his blisters to squirt and eventually burst into a large pool of bile. As it takes damage to his bloated arm it howls with a shrill and echoing scream that attracts nearby hordes... scary.

[RickOtey]

Their stomach, intestines and other whatnots are extremely bloated. While very slow, these infected are filled with a noxious gas, which they vomit out at their prey, leaving them stunned or momentarily paralyzed. Usually travelling in small groups and explode if fire is used on them.

RickOtey, man, I think you used the wrong voting thumbnail, it must be from another jam here in cghub, maybe you want to change it? I tell you this, because one time I made the same thing and the moderator told me to change it but I saw the message too late and I didnt make it to the votes chart.

HERE is the link choo posted for the thumbnail template in the first post.

Glutton consumes common infected to gain health and strength; he becomes more difficult to deal with over time as he eats more zombies. He can also swallow survivors' weapons, disarming them.

I'm seeing lot of good entries, good luck to everyone.

This was alot of fun! I'll be back as well, I decided to give him another pass because I wasn't happy where I left him. Feels a little more finished. I think he'd emit some sort of smoke screen when he made his move to grab someone. Making it harder to shoot him/see where your friends are. Could get hectic!

C&C Welcome. Thanks!

@Scorge - I think detailing his Mouth was a good idea, I think that would be one of the main focal points. He should also put people in there if he gets close enough. Why wouldn't he?

@Artwilly - Your guy looks like he needs a little Marionette. He almost looks like one himself, its creepy. Gj.

@Shredder - I would like to play this Special, I think it would be awesome if his spines worked like "The Penetrator" from F.E.A.R. Pinning your limb to whatever was behind it, like the wall or whatever. Someone would have to come pull it out, or maybe you could yourself, until you had a bunch pinning you down. Would be fun! Need to have good aim. GL

@Mombie & the Twins - Those look way longer, I think that would cut it. Would make for a fun Psychological aspect to the gameplay, cause once you seen the decoys, you'd know the Special was in the area, but not where.

@RickOtey - I see this Special's gameplay as being mainly supplementary to other Zombie characters. You'd have to make a dead end, and some from behind. Could be fun, would require co-ordination with Team.

@vnmribaya - Its cool, but Specials, as far as I know, are Humans turned. In the L4D Universe anyway. Since they respawn often, there abilities are mutations that could occur again, though rare, that is why they are "Specials." This design would require alot of mines, on peoples heads already. Great Execution anyway. Gl

@docslav - Nice Colour Palette, Nothing like running down the last fringes of Society as a Super Infected Zombie while the Sun is setting and making the sky all pretty like. Goodluck.

The Dog Handler.

Moments before being attacked, this young man was taking his dogs out for a walk in the park. Soon the innocent walk became a stalk for unsuspecting victims. Once released by their handler, the dogs would quickly charge at their victim, proving to be a difficult target to hit and capable of pinning down their opponent.
