Summary

They are however, the most common type of infected in Harran, being found in large hordes in the streets and even on roofs. At night, they would change into a stronger and faster type of infected, the Night Walker, in certain circumstances

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Grab – Occasionally a Biter will grab any survivor in melee range and if they do not escape quickly, they will be bitten repeatedly, sometimes to death
- Weapon Toss – A Biter holding a weapon would sometimes throw their weapon, stunning their target. They can no longer pick up their weapon after this attack
- Charge – A Biter will move slightly faster at their target while raising one of their hands before hitting or grabbing their target.
- Transform – In certain circumstances, usually at night, a Biter will transform into a Night Walker. Once transformed they will be able to trigger this ability on other Biters
