In his quest to discover the true balance of order and chaos, Death has allowed the three Factions of the Underworld to rise up and rule in his stead.
As microbiologist Tara Smith outlines on Live Science, humans seem to be the only host for species-specific viruses like measles and small pox, which "don't jump species"."Is this what you wish for – A kingdom to rule? People to serve? I give you these things what you make of them is your own choice." – Death Regardless of where the Walking Dead virus actually comes from, it's entirely possible that the virus itself is species-specific. But if we're going to get real geeky with this, there's actually a scientific explanation that could explain why these creatures are immune to zombie-fication in a way that Kingdom's critters are not. In the past, even uninfected animals have caused issues for The Walking Dead ( as anyone who remembers that CGI deer will attest to). "I mean, we've had animals here and there but I guess maybe there's not as much as we probably should. Since then, Kirkman has suggested that practical concerns can also come into play: "Well, animals don't really behave on set, so that's one thing," Kirkman told a fan aboard the Walker Stalker Cruise (via ). Creator Robert Kirkman once said on Conan that it's all because of a decision made by illustrator Charlie Adlard: "The artist that draws the comic book loves drawing people, loves drawing zombies, does not enjoy drawing animals so much." Like the origins of the walker virus, this animal immunity has never been explained on The Walking Dead, but various reasons have been suggested over the years. So why is it that The Walking Dead has never shown animals become infected in the same way? Horses, dogs, and even Ezekiel's tiger have appeared at various points throughout the show, but never before have we seen one of these creatures succumb to the virus. This in turn is transmitted to a hungry tiger who goes on to attack a number of soldiers nearby.įrom these creatures to the worms themselves, it's clear that animals play a pivotal role in Kingdom's zombie epidemic. Unfortunately, worm eggs are hidden on the leaves of the resurrection flower and so it's not long before the deer is infected by the zombie virus. Kingdom: Ashin of the North starts with an innocent CGI deer casually eating some plants. Kingdom teased season 2 twist before it happened Of course, it's possible that the final season of The Walking Dead – or one of its many spin-offs – could one day venture back to the beginning, but even if it does, we doubt that anything as extreme as a zombie tiger will come into play. While there is something appealing about this approach, only allowing us to know what the characters themselves know, Kingdom has lifted the veil here to expand this genre in ways The Walking Dead (probably) never will. Everything from ' space spores' to Breaking Bad's Walter White have been suggested at one time or another. Ten seasons in, fans still have no idea what caused the walker epidemic.
This reveal is quite unique in the world of zombie lore, and particularly when compared to The Walking Dead, TV's other major undead franchise. For most of the series, we were led to believe that something known as the Resurrection Flower was responsible, but in season two, Seo-bi discovered that worms living in the plant are the true source of infection.
