Visually Daunting
Jacob "MrCheesemuffin" Abrego for Act I: Park - Chips (Zombie Dog)
IF YOU WANNA BE A ZOMBIE DOG, COME BE A ZOMBIE DOG.
Chips is a King Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with two moms. He is a rescue, prone to running off when scared. This is how he escaped, and how his fate was sealed. The fungus that takes over Chip's body is inspired by ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which makes zombie ants. In typical zombie fashion, Chips is incredibly aggressive. Ultimately killing Wendy, his beloved fur mom. He spews out black gunk, which zombifies other.
In my head he sounds low, faint, pained, and almost nothing like a dog. A faint hint of a dog still remains, but is mostly just wind through a passageway. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Needed sound clips:
Chips appears (soft, low effort response to seeing others - 2 seconds about)
Chips growls (a windy,open mouthed growl. Something that sounds minuetly like a dog,but mostly is just off-putting and strange. Leads to attacks)
Chips attacks I (neck lunge)
Chips attacks II (head lunge)
Chips attacks III (a continued attack from head lunge)
Chips vomits (a continued attack from neck lunge)
