On yet another zombie game, I hope to make 'mutated' versions of the infected you fight additionally. Once overdoing the transformation, you will become more grotesque, including many cell changes. The Pathogen (virus) itself ruins the brain and nerve cells, although heavily adjusts the normal ones. 

So, today I am asking for suggestions or any ideas for mutants! 

The ones I have so far: (And yes, I like to name them after Greek stuff. In fact, I name most of my stuff after Greek mythology 0_0)

Ghoul- First stage of infection. They are the least altered appearance wise, showing basic signs of the Infection. They resemble the classic zombies and usually are very weak. They have medium strength, endurance, low perception, and low agility. After about a few weeks they will mutate into Stage 2.

Proto- Second stage of infection. They have visible growths and spores, showing an immediate sign of Zombie-ism. They are usually resembling a deformed human being, and the face and chest is usually destroyed appearence wise. This, as the name suggests, is the stage right before a Type Stage. There are various "Type" stages they will evolve into. 

Troll- A Troll is a Type 1 Stage. This is the result of rapid arm growth, making their arm a club-like weapon. Their sight is usually impaired, as growths will begin to spread across the face. They stand eight feet tall, and are usually avoided at all costs. Trolls have a higher strength and endurance, but luckily have very low agility and a lower perception.

New Ideas-

DO NOT REPLY!

Hydra- Type 1 mutant. A multiple limbed mutant created when a Proto develops many limbs. It has moderate endurance and low strength, but has a high perception and high agility. Due to the amount of limbs, they usually can be a major danger, as once you are hit down they can keep clubbing you.

Kraken- Type 2 mutant. The Kraken is a result of a very rare mutation within the Hydra, creating multiple arms that are several yards long. They will "walk" while being held upright with their four long arms, looking like Dr. Octopus. Krakens are a boss mutant, and many who fight them don't come back. They have high health, low strength, very high perception and high agility.

Behemoth- Type 1 mutant. A Behemoth is a mutation when a Proto develops a rare occurrence where their bones literally begin to grow. Due to this, their spine blades will run down their back, their skull covers half of their flesh face, and the bones usually jut out on their hands. The hand bones will literally destroy the arm, and curve like massive blades. They have high strength, low endurance, moderate agility, and moderate perception.
