Who are Infected in The Last of Us (HBO)? Types Explained
Generally, you have seen that TV Series and Anime Series are adapted to make games, but only a few games get the chance to become TV Series, and The Last of Us is one of them. This gaming series is set in a post-apocalyptic era and shows the journey of a little girl Ellie and a smuggler Joel.
The Zombies are called Infected in the games, so the TV Series also has the same name, Infected. All the Zombie enemies are called Infected in general, but they have different types that we have listed below-
Infected | Description |
Runner | Runners are the recently infected people who attack players in a group. |
Stalker | Stalkers are Infected people who get the infection around 1 year back. They generally live in dark and stalk their prey before attacking. |
Bloater | Bloaters are the Zombies carrying the infection for several years, and the infection is totally spread in their bodies, making them slow. These Infected are weak to fire. |
Clicker | Clickers were infected at least a year back, and the infection has made them blind. So the only possible way they can find you is by sound. |
Shambler | Shamblers have been infected for several years, and the infection is already spread throughout their whole body. These Infected are found near water. |
Rat King | The Rat King is a giant infected enemy formed by fusing several infected enemies. This enemy was shown in the second part of the game, so probably, you can’t find it soon in the TV Series. |
These are the types of Infected in The Last of Us. As the series progress, you can see all these Infected enemies in the series.
