With spinoff Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead has once again changed the rules of its undead monsters.
This article contains spoilers forThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonepisode 1.
Through eleven seasons ofThe Walking Dead, the rules of the shows reanimated walkers remained mostly the same.
Could be dispatched only by a piercing wound to the brain.
That level of consistency helped establishThe Walking Deadas one of the most successful shows of its era.
But as they say, variety is the spice of (undead) life.
This time with something a little more frightening than basically motor skills and spatial awareness.
There are hot zombies now!
No, we dont mean physically attractive zombies.
The existence of those is purely between you and your hard drive.
We mean like literally hot-to-the-touch walkers.
Daryl Dixonintroduces these new so-called burners early on.
While there he accidentally alerts his presence to a group of walkers.
Then another walker grabs a hold of Daryls arm and thoroughly burns his flesh.
She then goes on to say that her people call these specific kinds of walkers boilers or burners.
Unfortunately thats all Isabelle andThe Walking Deadat large have to say about this new iteration of zombie.
Good thing Daryl is there to investigate now.
