Riddle Me This: Vampires and Zombies

[cinema_babe]

If a zombie bites a vampire or werewolf, will the bitee become infected and become zombies? Why don't you ever see zombies attack animals? Is it because the blood difference between animals and humans?

I can't believe I'm about to do this...

*deep breath*

A zombie biting a vampire doesn't do anything because the vampire is already dead. Same way you can stab a vampire with most things and it doesn't do squat.

A werewolf I've yet to see bitten in a story but it could go one of two ways. One, the lycanthropy, whether a magic curse or an uber-disease, simply burns the zombie disease out before it can settle in. Or, zombie werewolf. Fucking terrifying that.

Zombie animals depends on the author/director. I believe that Romero has had zombie animals in one or two of his movies, usually dogs, and the Resident Evil movies has had zombie animals as well. Mira Grant's zombie series has any mammal over forty pounds can turn into a zombie (including zombie giraffe) where Max Brooks has his disease killing anything bitten that isn't a human, even monkeys.

See that sounds logical except that in the post Ann Rice age, vampire mythology is less about being undead and more about living for a looooong time. Quasi-undead.

I was watching < a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadliest_Warrior"> SpikeTV's Deadliest Warrior and they had a face off between Zombies and Vampires. They used the Vampire model from Blade and the Zombie model from Walking Dead. It was interesting

and bloody.

In the Mira Grant (seanan_mcguire) FEED universe, zombies attack animals. (It's the only Zombie mythology I know well. I'm not generally into zombies, but my word, do I love the Newsflesh series).

In the last few "Blog like it's the end of the world", we had a few "zombie hawks" and many "zombie dogs" (and some zombie chickens). The zombie hawks were presumed to be engineered by some unknown mad scientist sort, or perhaps the birds had taken chunks out of zombies walking, the dogs were assumed to have occurred after bums bit their own dogs.

I think the chickens were from eating the zombie virus carrying centipedes.
