Humanoids in it are slowed and infected. Zombies in it are healed.</li><li><a href="http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=43949" target="_blank"><b>Lurch!</b></a> - You and nearby zombies gain a temporary burst of speed, to help catch your food.

Any damage dealt to these targets will heal you for a % of the damage. You can also use <a href="http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=51230" target="_blank"><b>Retch!</b></a> on the ground and stay in the cloud to get some additional healing, these clouds are stackable and having multiple zombies stacking them at the same spot will let you regenerate your life in no time. <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/wotlkworldevent_8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/wotlkworldevent_8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />A few blue posts were made about the event. <br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from <b>Blizzard staff</b></span></div><div class="blizzquote"><span style="color: white;"><b>Zombies + Durability Damage</b></span><br />I just take off all my gear.
