CAMOUFLAGE
The way in which a zombie perceives the world is open to debate. With them being technically dead, how do their eyes operate? Can they smell? Does their hearing become more acute? Until they rise we can do no more than speculate, but we can theorise that camouflage will be a waste of time.
The concept behind camouflage is blend into an area that you wish to remain in for a specific purpose without being seen by your enemies. In this case your enemies are zombies. What purpose could you possibly have for being in the same room as a zombie? Why would you want to stay hidden in a room where there were zombies? If they have gained access to your safe house then the most logical course of action is not to stick a lampshade on your head and stand in a corner. Either:
- Run away.
- Try and fight them off.
- Hide.
Hiding is not to be confused with camouflage. Hiding is secreting yourself in an attic and making no noise so as not to be seen. Camouflage is painting yourself the same colour as the wallpaper and standing flat against the wall in plain sight of intruders. With a zombie’s brain being the only functioning organ, you can pretty much guarantee that they’re not going to be stupid enough to miss a plonker who has painted himself purple and is standing by the telly.
