Special Abilities:

Sticky Flesh

Sticky Zombies are full of thick, gluey vileness. Any creature which strikes a Sticky Zombie in melee combat while in an adjacent space must make a Reflex saving throw against the CR-appropriate DC or be struck by a vile splatter of thick, ropy glue-like ichor. If the save is failed, the attacker gains the hindered condition and may not move away from the zombie's space, although they may move into any space adjacent to the zombie. The zombie, likewise, may not move away from the space of the character stuck to it, but may move around it, and it does NOT gain the hindered condition. A hindered creature may roll another saving throw each round as a move action to break free of the vile glue.

If a creature that has the hindered condition chooses to attack the zombie again while hindered, and fails the saving throw a second time, they are instead given the grappled condition, although the Sticky Zombie is NOT grappled. They must break the grappled condition with a roll against the zombies CMD.

Zombies which have living targets stuck to them usualy attack those targets in preference to any others.

A Sticky Zombie's base speed improves by ten feet in all movement categories it has.
