The Poison Zombies are a special type of Zombie encountered in The Ghost Survivors minigames of the Resident Evil 2 remake.
Poison Zombies resemble Zombies with dark purple skin tone, glowing eyes, and clouds of noxious gas that they exude. Their appearance is randomized as per normal Zombies.
Biology[]
In an effort to suppress the outbreak Umbrella provided the police with "P-Z gas." However instead of destroying the mutants it caused many of them to mutate further into deadlier variants with toxic bites and the ability to disperse poison gas upon death. This is presumably intentional (especially since "P-Z" possibly stands for "Poison Zombie") as part of Umbrella's effort to undermine police efforts and to eliminate any potential witnesses.
Gameplay[]
These enemies feature most heavily in the No Time to Mourn and No Way Out scenarios. As the Police Radio Recording suggests, it is wise to keep one's distance from them as their regular attacks and their passive poison gas inflict the Poisoned state along with the regular damage. They also release a much larger cloud of gas on death, which can be dangerous in close quarters but is at least useful as a sure sign of its death.
In the No Way Out scenario, the player can encounter A-gears upgraded this way.
