well you know the zombie/things in LIN that fling up of the ground and attack you.is there an official name for them or are they just called zombies that cant walk but have super springing power.ive heard some people call them rotting corpses.maybe that could be the official name.

Yeah the "Rotting Corpses" is the name I know them by, otherwise?
Well Spike will agree, especially if you read the various notes within the Spencer Estate as well as Examine the first Corpse you see; they're quintessentially, very much like the Discarded Test Subjects in RE5, as such they're Test Subjects of some sort.

I always thought they were Progenitor Zombies.
