Lost Zombivors as the mission boss

[guerra]

Hi everyone!

I was very excited about the announcement of the lost zumbivors on season 3, and I was thinking that they can be nice bosses for the missions.

According to the rules, they have one activation and does not have abilities (like a walker that can receive 5 wounds). However, in a given mission I was thinking that it can have additional actions and even have some abilities (such as regeneration, for instance). The only requirement to have a special lost zombivor as a mission boss is to define a standard behavior for he/she to use its actions. His behavior should be described in the special rules of the mission.

For example: imagine a lost zombivor that got crazy in a corner of the map and is shooting everyone that get close to him. He can have 3 activations, the +1 max range ability and will spend all of its actions shooting the closest target (zombie or survivor). I think that it can be a cool challenge in the context of a mission.

I think the mission C49 "COUP DE GRÂCE" could use something like this...

I want to know what do you think about it!

Sounds good to me. A quirky bit of one-off gaming mechanics with a sad narrative reminder to the survivors they could end up lke that.

That extra behaviour established for a lost zombivor prior to a specific game could run to quite a variety.

One chainsaw toting zombivor whose humanity is slipping away. Limited to 2actions. Moves towards the nearest zone with something in rather than follow the "noise".
Another who's "shoot them in the head" experiences are getting worn down by the urge to eat "braaaaains". Has a couple actions with a pistol they're a good aim with. If they kill something at pointblank they'll feel the need to stop for a meal of grey matter which heals them.
One rotten zombivor realises they're close to losing the last vestiges of humanity has been chasing down antibiotics. A race against time element. The survivors against the slower but more resilient zombivor after the same objectives.
