Unveiling the Unprecedented: Daryl Dixon Deciphers The Walking Dead's Extraordinary Mutated Zombie Variants

Summary

Daryl Dixon's spinoff will introduce acidic zombie variants in France, known as "burners," who burn people upon contact or if their blood gets on them.

Daryl is facing a considerable threat from these new zombie variants, as they are capable of causing harm without biting him, which he is not used to dealing with in his fights against walkers.

The presence of fast zombies in another show suggests the possibility of additional zombie variants in France, thereby increasing the country's vulnerability to various types of walkers.

Executive producer Greg Nicotero has revealed more information about the new Walker variants that will be featured in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Set in France after the events of The Walking Dead, the spinoff follows Daryl as he tries to uncover what happened and find a way back to Virginia. Along Daryl's journey, he will encounter acidic zombie variants, referred to as "burners," whose blood can burn people's skin. These burners will present a constant threat to Daryl as he navigates through the show. Read what Nicotero had to say about them below.

These zombies have mutated to a point where if they touch or bite you or their blood gets on you, it burns you significantly. It changes all the rules.

What Acid Zombies Mean For The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

In a sneak peek of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, it is revealed that Daryl will have his first encounter with an acid variant zombie while in France. This newly encountered zombie will harm him, unlike the usual Walkers who can only bite. Nicotero also elaborated that mere contact with the acid variant can cause harm, emphasizing the immense peril of the zombie apocalypse in France.

In the future episodes of The Walking Dead, it is anticipated that Daryl Dixon will encounter different types of zombies. In a post-credits scene from The Walking Dead: World Beyond, it was revealed that fast zombies are another variant that exists in France. The scene also implies that France is potentially the origin of the zombie virus, which may suggest that the country is more vulnerable to the emergence of different types of walkers.

In addition to these new zombie variants, the trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon hints at Daryl taking on the responsibility of guiding a young boy named Laurent across the country. It is highly likely that they will face more challenges during their journey, perhaps encountering burners and even runners in the future. This upcoming chapter of The Walking Dead franchise seems to be setting up a far more perilous and treacherous environment compared to anything previously shown.
