They range from the regular, docile, zombies that you'll be used to if you have any experience with zombie games, to the zombies who pop out of the ground right where you're standing, to the extreme demon-zombies who can shoot fire from clear off the side of the playing-screen. These guys can do some serious damage, and they will end your game quickly if given a chance so watch out for them. There are also mummies, which are, more or less, slightly ramped up versions of the normal zombies, and little red guys who will chase you all around the playing field if you let them.

Of course, if you can take them out before they ever get a chance to see you you'll be in even better shape.
