Terror: Frost Zombies:

The microscopic parasite responsible for zombification will mutate based on the host creature and environment that it is in while incubating. As such, one that experiences a lot of cold before fully taking control of its host will start to change the white adipose tissue (WAT) fat cells into brown adipose tissue (BAT) fat cells, which burn a lot hotter and are less dense, slimming up their hosts a bit. This highly increases their hunger for fatty acids, but also gives them an advantage in cold environments that most other zombie types do not have: hibernation. Unlike the basic zombie, if their body starts to stiffen up and freeze, they will rest until either disturbed or the temperature rises enough, their bodies still warm as the BAT fat cells are burned to keep them from freezing. Many an adventurer coming across an area filled with frozen basic zombies may find themselves caught off guard if one or more turns out to be the Frost Zombie mutation.

Terror: Frost Zombie: An infected individual of a species that has a microscopic parasite in its brain and bodily fluids that makes it seek out protein and fatty acids to consume to keep it going while trying to spread the infection further. Typically found in packs of three or more, regardless of species. Hunts mostly by sound and motion, terrible sense of smell. Attacks or tries to infect whatever it bumps into as it searches for food and to spread the infection. Due to their limitless endurance, but low health per zombie, the differences between species becomes mostly negligible. They are, by the large, best killed by separating the brain from the rest of the body, although depending on the species that might not always be in what appears to be the head. Initially they move at the same pace without slowing down until they no longer have enough nutrients their body needs to keep in efficient infected status. The Frost Zombie differs from the Basic Zombie in having resistance to the cold, and the ability to hibernate until disturbed or the temperature rises enough. They are also a little bit faster and react better and with more instinctual intelligence and drive.
