The Hollows
A Hollow (zombie), in its broadest sense, is a person who has lost his or her sense of self-awareness and identity, and cares only for the destruction (and often consumption) of any human around, no matter what the circumstances, or cost to his or her self. They make up for this loss of intelligence in sheer numbers, as the state of 'Hollowism' is almost always contagious, and spread virually, at a devastating cost to their surrounding society. Technically speaking, true hollows are always dead, and re-animated.

Runner Hollows (sometimes known as The Infected) are Hollows that have the ability to run at a full sprint. This ability separates them (in dealing with them, and in classification) so much, that leading minds disagree whether they should even be considered Hollows at all.

Fast Infected quickly gain ground on survivors and bring them down, either killing them or disabling them and leaving them for the slower Hollows. A survivor should never try to outrun the Runners, since they do not tire like humans do. Some theorists propose runners are newly-made zombies that have not begun the process of decaying yet, and therefore still have most human capabilities. The only way to stop them from running is to disable their legs through severing large muscle groups, major bones, or completely severing their legs. Other than that, the only other way is to outright eliminate them.

Walking Hollows (colloquially known as Walkers) are basically synonymous with generic Hollows. They may not be as immediately threatening as Runners, but they tend to attack in groups, and have astounding durability which makes them a major threat to humans.
Type B Hollows also includes the Crawlers.
Also known as Halvers, Chopped, and Ankle Biters, Crawlers are a well known and very annoying type of Hollow. Crawlers are completely disabled in their lower bodies and cannot walk or run like other types of undead. They can be disabled through muscle severing or leg severing; crawlers can also have their legs crushed by a heavy object or car. Crawlers must support their upper torso with their arms and must crawl along on the ground slowly to move to their desired destination. Due to their low profile, they are harder to spot, as well as their low speed makes them a highly dangerous Hollow if not payed attention to. The second one neglects to pay attention, they can be taken down by a crawler. The Hollow can latch onto the survivors leg and bite down, infecting as well as maybe disabling their leg.

Bonies are what a Hollow becomes when most of the flesh has rotted from the initial corpse, leaving only heavily blackened, necrotic skin and limited tendons. They are the final stage of Hollowfication and often do absolutely nothing unless a human or Hollow gains their attention through interaction.

They have no eyes but would seem to have a form of echolocation; a deep humming can often be heard in their presence. They are not clumsy or shambling, but slow and deliberate in their actions unless motivated to move more quickly.

Bonies are rarely seen by survivors. They most typically reside in large Hollow nests, like airports or shopping centers, and don't tend to have much motivation to leave. They don't appear to attack out of blood lust, but rather out of will to make more Hollows. They are arguably the elders or alphas of any Hollow pack or nest in which they reside; other Hollows follow their lead unless the hunger takes over and they become ravenous and savage.
