With all the experiments that had taken place by various corrupt and nefarious governments and terrorist organizations to find the perfect ‘terror weapon’, many different strains of ‘zombies’ had been created, thanks to the melding of science and necromancy. Those who were responsible for the creation of these deadly creatures found that quite often the undead were simply too easily dispatched.

Their solution to this issue was the creation of a massive killing machine that could still infect and spread the virus to help create undead, but at the same time would be able to soak up massive amounts of punishment before finally being destroyed.

Using the larger races, typically giants or other similar creatures, the necromancers were able to create the beast they were searching for and the Crusher was ‘born’. These creatures are able to withstand the worst punishment and are usually found in groups of other types of zombies. They will often lead an attack in order to soften up defenses, allowing the other zombies to attack without much resistance.

Any large or better sized creature bitten by one of these monsters had a chance to become infected with the necromantic virus which created the monster, causing them to turn into Crushers themselves after death. Medium or smaller creatures would stand a chance to become regular zombies.
