Once a Tentaculat or Chryssalid attacks, the victim will turn into a zombie that becomes a new Tentaculat/Chryssalid if it's killed. Zombies cannot be stunned or captured.
Data corruption can provide a zombie research topic which crashes the game however.
Statistics
TUs: 40 Health: 84 Energy: 110 Reactions: 40 Strength: 84 Bravery: 110 Psi Skill: 0 Psi Strength: 80 Damage: 84* Melee: 80% TUs: 15
* Unsubstantiated that damage increases as skill level does. This is true for other melee aliens but the Zombie is a special case.
Notes
The following are some miscellaneous notes. Zombies:
- Take 0.6x damage from AP ammunition, 0.8x damage from High Explosives and 0.7x damage from Laser and Plasma ammunitions.
- Hit does 1.2x damage to un-armoured soldiers and civilans and 0.9x damage to tanks and hovertanks.
- Cannot be stunned.
- Have a melee attack equal to its strength.
- Are very slow, so they can be outrun.
- Can be mind-controlled.
- Have constant stats regardless of skill level.
- If the killing shot is of an Incendiary nature, the chryssalid does not hatch.
- If a zombie is under X-Com mind control and it is killed, the hatched Chryssalid will be considered to be under 'alien' mind control that turn. When the turn ends, you will gain permanent control of the Chryssalid for the rest of the battle.
- If the zombie was previously an X-Com soldier, gaining control of the chryssalid will allow the soldier to be recovered at the end of the mission.
- The fully controlled chryssalid can be re-zombified by other chryssalids and re-controlled as a means of healing it. This only works with chryssalids under permanent control. Note that each time this happens, you will lose morale as if a soldier was killed, and a soldier will be added to the end-mission kill tally.
- Research seems to indicate (in X-COM) that if you don't shoot the zombies, they will never hatch on their own. This, however, is contrary to many eye-witness accounts.
- When you eventually kill it, make sure to have enough soldiers and TUs to kill the resulting chryssalid too.
