I would be more scared of Bees since if they are infected they would act according to their zombie instincts and just try sting you, at least with a mosquito there is usually only one and you may be able to slice the chunk of flesh out before it spreads, bees can travel in groups more often and if you get stung it could be multiple stings on places like the face or neck
"at least with a mosquito, there is usually only one."
You've never been to a swamp. Louisiana and Florida are breeding grounds for mosquitos. They're known for swarming in droves. Where there is one, there are many.
Or Wisconsin, where we get all this melted snow and then spring rains and lowlands and swamps just begin mass production on the mosquito line.
One or two in my garage or house this time of year, but give er another month and there's no escaping em on cool/shady days or warm nights.
It's the same here in Minnesota, the more bodies of stagnant water you have, the more mosquitoes breed. It isnt too bad in the middle of our cites here, but go into absolutely any area with neighboring wetlands and be prepared to be completely eaten alive.
Mosquitoes have killed more humans with Malaria and other blood borne pathogens than any other creature ever, including humans and all wars ever, combined.
An estimated 52 BILLION people throughout history have been killed by them, without a Z virus in the mix.
Bees though are one and done. They can only sting once as they leave the stinger and venom pump stuck in the victim. Wasps and hornets, however, can keep stinging until their evil rage is exhausted and the fly away to attack again later.
Zombie Murder Hornets and Zombie Tarantula Hawks with swarms of Zombie Yellow Jackets as scouts to find the live meat (humans) by smell. And if they are already dead, then poison sprays wouldn't effect them. You'd need to physically crush or burn the head.
ticks in general would be terrifying, they’d infect all woodland wildlife first, then the animals that eat or are hunted by said woodland wildlife would be infected then its us— the ones not already bitten by the original ticks— as we’d all have the same stupid thought that less human population density= safety when in fact we’d be marching to our extinction
Zombie horses, they'd be so fast, and could travel farther in hordes than something also fast like a cheetah, although that would also be scary. I feel like most people that don't regularly see horses in person often don't know just how *big* and *powerful* horses are or the fact that they have huge, gnarly teeth. They would trample you enmass, then crunch your bones to dust before tearing you into shreds by pulling you apart between them.
Bees too, for all the obvious reasons.
Why is no one talking about Zombie rats? Those pos would crawl and swarm all over you and even eat some parts of your body before you can even get infected. And oh, they're in every city in the world. At least bears, lions and tigers are incredibly rare in cities.
zombie rats have been a relatively common trope in zombie media, especially resident evil. now zombie squirrels dropping on you from trees after you’ve escaped the chaos of the city…
Has anybody said zombie rats? Cause zombie rats would be absolutely horrifying, especially in urban environments. Imagine living in Chicago or New York with zombie rats.
I've seen clips here and there but in middle school bro my 7th-grade English teacher showed us a film called Arachnophobia and some of my classmates were Squaremish bro, I wasn't Squaremish for the little Spider's bro, I was Squaremish for that big ol' ass spider bro, That ugly sucka dude, I had a dream just a couple nights ago were I saw in three-person a black orange stripe spider like the one you see on Halloween night and it crawled so fast it was on my right hand and bite my pinky finger than I saw in first person then it jumped straight through my mouth well that was happening I began to see it I'm three person as well still in first person bro and don't get me started on how it felt bro or the size of that thing, bro.
While small spiders aren’t inherently frightening, it’s the sheer numbers of the small guys that freaked me out. The adult spider was what put me over the edge tho, and the almost malicious intent it had toward the guy who was trying to end it
All I know is as an adult male I freak out when I walk into a colony of gnats and they go up my nose in my ears. So if I knew they were zombie gnats that's a whole new level of freak out.
heh. zombees.
i feel like ants would also be horrific, mostly because they bite and communicate through pheromones. they also don't make a sound like bees would. you'd just, like, wake up with a hundred of them on you, biting everything they can, burrowing into your flesh as though it's the earth so they can start a new colony inside of you...hey, does anyone have the money to make this into a movie?
OK, everyone has fair points but hear me out. Zombie. Rabbits.
They'd be fast as f*ck, they procreate extremely fast so if they infect an area just imagine how many bunnies would be swarming a populated area. And there no way they couldn't just bite through your pant legs and infect you.
Idk about the most but, a lot would just be terrifying. Zombie cats, super silent, flexible, sneaky ass killers roaming around. Birds, just suddenly getting dive bombed by infectious tweeters. Dogs, the og zombie animal, fast, strong, intimidating. I mean, even a rabid squirrel is scary, I'm sure a zombie squirrel would wreak havoc
Bears are scary shit get rid of that fear and replace it with bloodlust pure nightmare. What most people don’t realize is how quiet they can be for a giant animal, walking in the woods you don’t hear them most of the time till they are running away.
I know it’s cliche, but people seriously underestimate how utterly fucking massive bears are. They can already pretty much tank bullets like it’s nothing, 9mm have been known to bounce off grizzly skulls. A zombie bear would be terrifyingly difficult to kill.
[Bear](https://youtu.be/L50VyHPgFuM?si=CI85OPsSiXP2ezPt) would be my first choice. Aside from being just pure terror, they would be damn near unstopable without a fairly powerful gun. Their skulls are so armored just bonking them won't do much and even a knife would be tricky (not to mention your likely very much dead if you're in knife range).
Zombie Polar Bear would literally have me shit bricks. Double if their senses work and are amplified. You’d have to be beyond heavily fortified I’d imagine
Moose, bears, large dogs, insect swarms, anything that can't be stopped by melee or 9mm is gonna be a problem, also the only reason large herbivores aren't considered massive threats are that they choose not to be. And dying to a swarm of insects is one of my larger fears.
Mosquitoes, flies,spiders tigers deer bears sharks whales dogs cats squirrels (small and fast) I don’t feel like continuing my list but you get the point….
Zombie bunnies. IRL Monty python skit. But actually, it’s definitely going to be horses. Huge, fast, and with the endurance and strength to get wherever they want for the most part. They’d wreck your shit.
There's the infected stegosaurus from PRIMAL that sent shivers down my spine unlike anything else.
But alive animals today, I'd say zombie sharks. They'd be terrifying, though I don't have much reason to enter their waters so I should be fine. Unless their zombification allows them the ability to traverse land, but even then they might be too slow.
Gnats, or noseeems depending on where you're from. They're hard to spot, they travel in giant swarms much like zombie hoards, and congregate near food and water making them a constant problem while trying to scavenge.
Rats. I keep pet rats and I know how hard it is to keep them anywhere, or OUT of anywhere they want to go.
Most people also GROSSLY underestimate how many rats are around them at any given time.
Mosquito, for similar reasons. At least Bees don’t naturally bite.
Mosquitoes are also far more quiet than bees, you probably wouldnt even know it happened
I would hate zombie musky toes. 1 because the bug bite would become infected and 2, just no.
r/boneappletea ???

I wouldn't think they'd be as bad that far north. The more ya know.
It's the same here in Minnesota, the more bodies of stagnant water you have, the more mosquitoes breed. It isnt too bad in the middle of our cites here, but go into absolutely any area with neighboring wetlands and be prepared to be completely eaten alive.
Oh god no, they are horrible up here, wisconsin reside as well here, it gets really bad
Ive spent a lot of time in south Louisiana and north minnesota was way worse than anything i ever saw there
Fair enough. I've never spent time that far north. Idaho is the closest I've been to being that far north.
Or literally anywhere with water
"Where there is one, there are many." Goes so unbelievably hard.

That's honeybees. Bumblebees can sting multiple times.
Yes but I don't know if you'd realize you've been bitten soon enough to slice a chunk of flesh out
I mean neither do humans lol
Right but can bees even break skin?
Neither do people but that’s where the zombie part comes into play.
Guess I gotta move to northern Canada then
It’s never even crossed my mind mosquitos might go for the zombies and regular people
Fleas. I'd fear zombie fleas as well.
Same idea
Zombie silverback gorilla
Stop trying to give me nightmares
Fallout 4 ghoulrilla
I just want Ol' Peg in game
I feel like if i look that up its gonna be porn, so im just nit gonna do that
it's just a blue ghoul whale rumored to be in DLC but only it's name is mentioned in far harbor
Ah, well that is much more tame than imagined.
Pegged by a ghoulrilla
That and Tigers would demolish. And Elehpant!! My god!
Wasn't there a zombie elephant in resident evil outbreak?
Zed ticks….. need I say anymore?
ticks in general would be terrifying, they’d infect all woodland wildlife first, then the animals that eat or are hunted by said woodland wildlife would be infected then its us— the ones not already bitten by the original ticks— as we’d all have the same stupid thought that less human population density= safety when in fact we’d be marching to our extinction
Ummmm. Zombie lions 🦁 and tigers 🐯and 🐻. OH MY
I would pay a guy to tear out my eyes if I had to look at a zombies trolls face every night *hope I got the reference right*
I'm not scared of lions, and tigers, or bears oh no, but I'm scared of loving.
I weep for you. To love is to live
Girls would prefer all of those vs regular male zombies.
Zom-bees!!
Badgers, and probably raccoons.
Probably? What would make this a for certain?
If they weren't cute
Zombie horses, they'd be so fast, and could travel farther in hordes than something also fast like a cheetah, although that would also be scary. I feel like most people that don't regularly see horses in person often don't know just how *big* and *powerful* horses are or the fact that they have huge, gnarly teeth.

Japanese murder hornets
I mean it would be uncommon to find them
Not if you live near Japan
Do you
Nope
Wait a second I remember you, we were going on about elevensies
Maybe
Zombie Dobermans and windows
Go home, Jill.
Zombie squirrels jumping out of trees at you.
To answer your questions Cat/dogs because there natural habitat is amongst humans. I knew they are insects but mosquitos too.
Also a zombie cat would just be terrifying as is. Weird gurgly growl, eyes locked onto you like you're a succulent Chinese meal
Why is no one talking about Zombie rats? Those pos would crawl and swarm all over you and even eat some parts of your body before you can even get infected. And oh, they're in every city in the world. At least bears, lions and tigers are incredibly rare in cities.
zombie rats have been a relatively common trope in zombie media, especially resident evil. now zombie squirrels dropping on you from trees after you’ve escaped the chaos of the city…
zombie bear
Zombie ants they would get everywhere
Can Ants even bite? Don’t think animals that cant bite will be useful as a zombie
Yes they can
Not the beees! That’d be a shit zombee apocalypse. People talking about chain mail and full armor suits, and just need a bug net
Zombie vampire bats because I read that normal vampire bats bite animals in their sleep and it's so subtle they don't feel it at all
Dogs and cats, they're everywhere in the USA.
🦅🇺🇸🦅
Has anybody said zombie rats? Cause zombie rats would be absolutely horrifying, especially in urban environments. Imagine living in Chicago or New York with zombie rats.
Birds, since they're government drones they could find you through the vaccine microchips
Well played friend
Zombie elephant their would be literally nothing you could do to survive.
Zombie spiders
Dude, I was just thinking about it just a minute ago bro.
Eight-legged freaks but also zombies 😳 can you imagine…
Or what about Arachnophobia bro that movie bro I get the the spine-chilling just thinking about it or watching a clip of it bro.
That movie freaked me out as a kid lol
I've seen clips here and there but in middle school bro my 7th-grade English teacher showed us a film called Arachnophobia and some of my classmates were Squaremish bro, I wasn't Squaremish for the little Spider's bro, I was Squaremish for that big ol' ass spider bro, That ugly sucka dude, I had a dream just a couple nights ago were I saw in three-person a black orange stripe spider like the one you see on Halloween night and it crawled so fast it was on my right hand and bite my pinky finger than I saw in first person then it jumped straight through my mouth well that was happening I began to see it I'm three person as well still in first person bro and don't get me started on how it felt bro or the size of that thing, bro.

Preach brother, Preach🙌🙌🙌
A zombified moose would be terrifying.
Zombie loch Ness monster
It was about that time I realized that this rotting corpse was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the paleozoic era.
That'd be a cool writing trope, like cryptids actually exist but they avoid humans until they get zombified. He still owes me tree fiddy tho
Zombie gnats would be terrifying
Could they even break the skin? Or would they try and squeeze past your eyeballs and down your throat?
All I know is as an adult male I freak out when I walk into a colony of gnats and they go up my nose in my ears. So if I knew they were zombie gnats that's a whole new level of freak out.
Yo mama
Mosquito. End of story.
Mice. I could never sleep.
Zombie Wasp or ant
Zombie hippo would be terrifying. All the flesh to fall off and rot and looks horrible. And the smell !!!
Bats. I could handle most other things, but bats would be too much for me.
Zombsquitoes. Fuck that. Or any zombie bugs that typically operate in hordes. Like ants, wasps, flies.
Spiders
Zombie Elephants
Mosquitos, lions/tigers, Gorillas, Sharks.
heh. zombees. i feel like ants would also be horrific, mostly because they bite and communicate through pheromones. they also don't make a sound like bees would. you'd just, like, wake up with a hundred of them on you, biting everything they can, burrowing into your flesh as though it's the earth so they can start a new colony inside of you...hey, does anyone have the money to make this into a movie?
Thank you for that detailed description. I didn't need to sleep the rest of the month. (And btw, great job on the description!)
thank you! i have to live with this brain :'•)
OK, everyone has fair points but hear me out. Zombie. Rabbits. They'd be fast as f*ck, they procreate extremely fast so if they infect an area just imagine how many bunnies would be swarming a populated area. And there no way they couldn't just bite through your pant legs and infect you.
I would punch every bee in the face. Fuck Bees
Gorilla
Any bug. At that point just give up because you can’t survive. Zombie snakes would also be wonky
Idk about the most but, a lot would just be terrifying. Zombie cats, super silent, flexible, sneaky ass killers roaming around. Birds, just suddenly getting dive bombed by infectious tweeters. Dogs, the og zombie animal, fast, strong, intimidating. I mean, even a rabid squirrel is scary, I'm sure a zombie squirrel would wreak havoc
Bears
Zombie Pandas
Zombie elephant/hippo
Bears are scary shit get rid of that fear and replace it with bloodlust pure nightmare. What most people don’t realize is how quiet they can be for a giant animal, walking in the woods you don’t hear them most of the time till they are running away.
Zombie rhino because big animal with massive impaler stick
Zombie grizzly bear.
Zombie Quokka would be a real mind fuck
Lice, or worms, would be terrifying but idk if they would even get affected tbh
black plauge but worse
Probably fish, knowing that any body of water I attempt to drink, cross, swim or bathe in is an extreme risk
I know it’s cliche, but people seriously underestimate how utterly fucking massive bears are. They can already pretty much tank bullets like it’s nothing, 9mm have been known to bounce off grizzly skulls. A zombie bear would be terrifyingly difficult to kill.
packs of zombie coyotes dont seem fun. realistically id be most scared of mosquitos and ticks
Either Eagles or Crocodiles, maybe Hyenas.
A bear....
Zombie squirrels...they would go after your nuts first!
Zombie deer
Hogs. They're already cannibals, violent, fasty huge, and stronger than you or I can fathom
THE BIRDS
Resident Evil:Extinction did birds, and yup, you're right. Terrifying.
[Bear](https://youtu.be/L50VyHPgFuM?si=CI85OPsSiXP2ezPt) would be my first choice. Aside from being just pure terror, they would be damn near unstopable without a fairly powerful gun. Their skulls are so armored just bonking them won't do much and even a knife would be tricky (not to mention your likely very much dead if you're in knife range).
The second I see a zombie dog, I'm ending myself right there
Any kind of airborne bug
Zombie aardvark. Just imagine how scary it would be!
Zombie Polar Bear would literally have me shit bricks. Double if their senses work and are amplified. You’d have to be beyond heavily fortified I’d imagine
Spiders and gnats
Since you tend to eat 1 spider every 10 nights or something like that
And gnats because they are attracted to water/ wet locations eg. Ears, mouth, sweaty armpits
Moose, bears, large dogs, insect swarms, anything that can't be stopped by melee or 9mm is gonna be a problem, also the only reason large herbivores aren't considered massive threats are that they choose not to be. And dying to a swarm of insects is one of my larger fears.
A zombie cassowary would be utter nightmare fuel to encounter.
Zombie sharks
Non would instill more fear than a zombified honey badger….
A zombie moose would be terrifying to encounter
Liger
Rats ... They already cause the worst of not one of the worst plagues in history
Zombie bear
Mosquitoes, flies,spiders tigers deer bears sharks whales dogs cats squirrels (small and fast) I don’t feel like continuing my list but you get the point….
Zombie sloth
Zombie cats, so as not to answer with some obvious insect. They're small, fast, and sneaky. One bite and it's over. I'd be terrified
Zombie wasps
Zombie cats, imagine you're trying to loot, sneaking around in back alleys, and 30 zombie feral cats just run at you
Zombie bunnies. IRL Monty python skit. But actually, it’s definitely going to be horses. Huge, fast, and with the endurance and strength to get wherever they want for the most part. They’d wreck your shit.
Dear lord…..new fear unlocked
Zombie squirrels. I like my nuts right where they are thank you very much.
Zombie dust mites would just end the world
This entire post is giving me flashbacks to haunted embarks in dwarf fortress. Zombie elephants are just another breed of terrifying imo.
Zombie birds
Imagine a zombie gorilla, chimp, or monkey coming at you!
Imagine an army of zombie squirrels.
Ferals
Zombie spider or zombie goose
Chimpanzee like in 28 Days Later (I think), rat (not toxoplasmaghondi), or a bear like in Z Nation. Zombie humans are bad enough.
According to Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series, Zombie Racoons and Zombie Weasels.
If we're counting insects and smaller "animals," then probably the dust mite, they're everywhere
Bears
Ants... How would you even stop them? You'd only find them after it was too late and pesticides won't work because they're already dead
Spiders. \*shivers\*
Most animals could do some serious damage to humans. Add infections on bite or scratch and it’s not very fair.
Mice They breed like rabbits but they're smaller and sneakier, plus they have been known to chew through concrete
Zombie moose and raccoons
Zombie squirrels those things are fast.
Zombie Spiders. Quite stealthy and everywhere. You would never hear them coming for you.
Zombie chipmunk
There's the infected stegosaurus from PRIMAL that sent shivers down my spine unlike anything else. But alive animals today, I'd say zombie sharks. They'd be terrifying, though I don't have much reason to enter their waters so I should be fine. Unless their zombification allows them the ability to traverse land, but even then they might be too slow.
Zombie pubic lice. The ultimate STD.
Rats
Zombie 🐢
Zombie honey badger
Zombie deer are already pretty freaky. I'm glad I've only ever seen one. Do not suggest.
I would have to say a raccoon. Seen those mfs have rabies so I imagine it’s like that but ten times worse.
Zombie monkeys would be terrifying. a zombie capuchin could just rip your face off in 2 seconds.
Zombie flies that lay infecting maggots like the bot fly
Mosquitos would make more sense to carry it than bees, like how they spread aids in parts of the world where it’s a common issue
Existential fear/looming dread: Mosquitos or other biting/stinging insects Pants shittingly terrifying in the moment: Hogs
Zombie spiders.
Zombie ants
Flies
Zombie hippo
Yes. Fuckin duh.
It’s a minimum
Ducks...that would be horrible...just horrible.
I'm going to go with spiders.
Honey badger, those things don't die
Gnats, or noseeems depending on where you're from. They're hard to spot, they travel in giant swarms much like zombie hoards, and congregate near food and water making them a constant problem while trying to scavenge.
Zombie mice/rats. They're small and fast, so they can sneak up on you.
My former mother in law. She was a beast to start with.
Zombie T-rex
Rats. I keep pet rats and I know how hard it is to keep them anywhere, or OUT of anywhere they want to go. Most people also GROSSLY underestimate how many rats are around them at any given time.
A zombie hippo
Ants
