==Characteristics == [[File:Zombie_1b.jpg|frameless|right|400px]]The infection appears to cause loss of personality, fluent speech, and complex thought, accompanied by a massive increase in violent aggression. The Infected can still see and hear and will attack any uninfected human who has attracted their attention through noise, movement or displaying bright lights at night. Due to a lack of higher brain function, they are incapable of picking up objects, operating simple mechanisms such as door handles, or climbing ladders. When passive and unstimulated, Infected will roam around aimlessly, occasionally varying their walking direction and field of vision. Once they are alerted to a [[Survivor|survivor's]] presence, they will become aggressive and actively start chasing them (this is usually referred to as " going aggro"). In this state, they make angry growls and shrieks as they advance towards the spot where they last saw or heard their prey until their target is either dead or lost. Once within range, they will attack in the form of frenzied attacks, where they will hit, kick, and scratch. Although they have varying levels of speed and physical capability, most Infected can move as fast as a healthy Survivor. They lack normal human biological requirements such as the need to sleep and are able to survive exposure to the elements. However, they are still susceptible to conventional injuries. When Infected take damage to their legs without being killed, they will sometimes fall to the ground and become what most players refer to as "crawlers." This injured Infected can be harder to hit, particularly with melee weapons, and will continue its attacks, trying to hit you. Infected will also attack [[Wildlife|animals]], who in turn will flee from them. In particular, they are likely to get into fights with [[Wolf|wolves]], who share their predatory nature and mindset.
