The merest touch will leave a significant burn - as Daryl Dixon himself discovered the hard way.

Daryl was lucky enough to run into Isabelle, who tended to his wounds from the burners.

The Walking Dead’s burnerswere created as part of Pouvoir’s ongoing experimentation into strengthening zombies.

Zombies as seen in The Walking Dead series finale

Based on one of the most successful and popular comic books of all time, AMC’s The Walking Dead captures the ongoing human drama following a zombie apocalypse. The series, developed for television by Frank Darabont, follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), who are traveling in search of a safe and secure home. However, instead of the zombies, it is the living who remain that truly become the walking dead. The Walking Dead lasted for eleven seasons and spawned several spinoff shows, such as Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond.

At some point, however, these creations either escaped or were deemed a failure and turned loose.

As the name suggests,lurkers remain stationed in one place, often laid down and completely silent.

The main danger with lurkers is how difficult they can be to spot.

Based on how early they began appearing inThe Walking Dead, lurkers must be a natural phenomenon.

Any retained memories are not strong enough to overpower the need to feed.

Climbers are, by nature, close to roamers in terms of their abilities.
