Do zombies get hungry?

Zombies are generally portrayed as perpetually "hungry" for flesh, but this isn't true biological hunger; they are driven by instinct and brain damage (like loss of satiety control in the hypothalamus) to consume humans to spread the infection, not for physical nourishment, as they have no functioning digestive system and can't get energy from food. While they don't starve, some lore suggests they enter a dormant state (torpor) without prey or might be sustained by consuming flesh until they decay, making the "hunger" a compulsive drive for replication rather than survival.

Do zombies feel hunger?

Brooks also tells us that zombies are sort of piggy: They eat night and day -- but not, apparently, because they're always hungry. Food isn't fuel for zombies. They don't need it to survive, and in fact can't even digest it.

Do zombies eventually starve?

No. Zombies won't starve from lack of flesh. They don't really 'hunger' for flesh the way we hunger for food. I would consider it to be a more pathological behavior.

Why don't zombies just eat each other?

Zombies don't eat each other because they're driven to hunt living flesh for sustenance, seeking the "fresh meat" of the uninfected, and dead zombie flesh doesn't trigger the same feeding response or provide the necessary endorphins to dull their pain, acting more like a biological imperative to spread the virus rather than a true appetite for their own kind. If they ate each other, the horde would diminish, and the story of human survival would end too quickly, so it's a narrative device as well as a lore element.

Do zombies ever get tired?

No, traditional zombies don't get tired because they are undead and lack the biological processes (like lactic acid buildup) that cause fatigue in living beings, allowing them to shamble or run endlessly until their bodies physically decay or are destroyed, though the specific rules depend on the zombie lore. They operate on supernatural energy or minimal biological function, bypassing the need for rest, food, or water, unlike humans whose muscles and brains require recovery.

Why don't walkers eat walkers?

Walkers in The Walking Dead don't eat each other because the virus makes them seek only living, warm flesh with a heartbeat, recognizing other reanimated corpses (walkers) as "dead" or inedible, much like a predator distinguishes prey from its own kind or inert matter, possibly through scent, heat, or other biological markers, making them a propagation tool, not just mindless eaters.

Why do zombies growl?

Zombies growl or moan because it's a byproduct of their reanimated bodies, a result of air forced through damaged vocal cords and lungs by brainstem activity, conveying hunger, aggression, or just the automatic function of a decaying system, serving as both a primal warning and a way to attract others to prey, even if it's just "zombie logic". The guttural, painful sounds often signify their primal urge for flesh or the immense suffering of their trapped consciousness.

Was Rick an A or B?

In The Walking Dead universe, Rick Grimes was truly an "A," meaning a strong leader, but Jadis/Anne classified him as a "B" to save his life from the Civic Republic Military (CRM), who execute "A" types but conscript "B" types for labor. A-types are leaders who challenge the system, while B-types are compliant survivors. Jadis lied, making Rick appear as a B so he'd be taken in for labor instead of being killed, as revealed in The Ones Who Live.
