PSA on zombie type terminology

[OJ191]

Note especially the bolded. Virals are the rarer free running zombies that are attracted by noise, Volatiles are the nighttime only zombies, and Night Hunter is the player controlled zombie. These three I see mixed up A LOT to the point where it's getting to be a real pain trying to figure out which someone is referring to when it isn't immediately obvious.

Hopefully now at least some people will use the zombie type names in their proper context!

Common:

• Biter[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Viral[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Gastank[dyinglight.wikia.com]

Special:

• Demolisher[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Goon[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Volatile[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Toad[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Bolter[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Bomber[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
• Screamer[dyinglight.wikia.com]
  
  Multiplayer:
  
• Night Hunter[dyinglight.wikia.com]

To clarify, I don't mind if people use their own terminology, so long as it doesn't clash with existing terminology of course. It's when people use existing game terminology for a different zombie than it is intended for, that I get irritated lol.
