Living Dead

Living Dead are the most populous inhabitants of the Darkness civilization. Long ago, their ancestors sought to attain immortality by infecting themselves with special strains of viruses. They were unsuccessful. Now the Living Dead lead tortured lives, contaminating the civilization with their diseases, driven mad by the constant torment of hunger.

They have no eyes and never remove their masks. Their bodies are made up of mostly decomposed flesh. Protruding bones act as armor to protect them from their enemies. It is not unusual for injured enemies to be infected by the viruses and turn into Living Dead themselves.
