Ideas for 'scary zombies'

[Tsyn 215]

So, the issue that has been identified hundreds of times on these forums is that the zombies aren't scary enough to fit the 'zombie apocalypse' theme. So the obvious solution is to make zombies more of a threat. The ideas below are up for discussion, and as always, I won't defend my ideas, but rather clear up any uncertainties or any misunderstandings.

Creating more 'classes' of zombies. Ones that have special aspects of them which will need a separate approach of extermination. Ideas would consist of:

• Large abominations of creatures that may or may not be zombies, who tha fuck knows. It's large with very slow movement and will take quite a few bullets. It would be something along the lines of trying to shoot a train. This "zombie" would need high-tier gear to take down and would most likely give out nice, rare loot. If a group of underarmed newbies tries to take this critter down, they'll likely be ripped apart and immediately greeted by a death screen. This creature would have low line of sight and low hearing, so sneaking by shouldn't be difficult. This little guy would most likely be in areas such as the airfield.
  
• Small creatures that will scream loudly upon being alerted, followed by jumping, running, and very erratic behavior. You will likely not be able to kill this creature once it has been alerted without tight teamwork and well-aimed shots. If this creature gets hold of a person, it will sling them, and charge them. If it decides to latch ahold of a survivor, it will stay stationary and start gnawing on the unconscious body.
  
• The 'standard' zombie will pack around in hordes of more than 10, moving together aimlessly with no mission at all except to find and kill survivors. These hordes will be very difficult to avoid, and without anticipating their movements, you're likely to attract them with either your smell, sound, or visibility. The senses of these large groups will be enhanced based on how many are there. If one spots or hears you, the entire group will rampage toward you (moving about 30% slower than what they do now) and will not stop until your scent has been masked (through water, dropping uncooked meat, or killing a large animal on the way).
  
• Another 'class' will run around quickly in the forest, nearly silent and will not appear on thermal scans. The only sound it will make is when it finds a player or animal. This creatures main aim is to kill instantly. It will not stop and eat on a dead body, it will continue it's rampage until everything that is alive is dead. This includes animals, other roaming zombies, or players. This creature is killed very easily, but is agile and once aggroed will b-line toward the nearest living thing. If the creature is aggroed, it will make loud gargles, growls and screams.

I know, I'm sorry.

But this guy deserves to get scared.

Though probably worse things will happen.

I'm really suprised noone gave this guy their beans cuz theese ideas would be friggin awesome to have.

This is just me but when I'm not in a town I just hit shift twice to make W always run and then I'II just put my iphone on the up arrow key and just autopliot to next town, rubbishly boring I might say.

I wish this could be implemented, would like some paranoia in the woods or a firefight with a badass zombie with the risk of involving other survivors by letting of massive amounts of gunshots.

Please expand your ideas.
