Weakest character/thing that can pet Max Brooks' Zombies

[Masonicon]

what's the weakest fictional characters/things (of any media) that can pet the Max Brooks' Zombies(as seen in either World War Z novel)?

[Twickster]

Anything living yet non-organic. A baby and/or particularly small Discworld troll?

[Hiromi]

Brooks zombies are only interested in humans and actively ignore animals, so anything non human

[Muadib]

Robocop? a T-800?

Okay, easy enough then;

[Postmania]

I mean the OP doesn't say they have to survive or be uninjured. So...anyone

Max Brooks Zombies don't Ignore animals, they eats anything nonhuman too.

what ignores animals are Romero Zombies

It'd been years since I read the books but I checked the wiki on dogs and it does mention the Zs would eat them so I stand corrected, it's the virus won't reanimate them, just kill them.

[Twickster]

The virus animating Brooks zombies is also a "universal poison" hence useful for something non-organic.

shapeshifting into anything, even for only a minute is pretty powerful.

shapeshifting into anything, even for only a minute is pretty powerful.

They don't actually get stronger or anything though. Oolong, for example, can barely hold up Bulma for a short time when she was 16. Puar is further down the list. Its basically cosplay to the next level (minus the powers).

As for the revelation that the zombies would attack anything; here's something that can touch them without worry of any retaliation;


His physical prowess is not impressive. But everything he touches, he can willingly turn into a carrot. Not sentient, not cartoonish sort of carrot, just a regular kind of carrot.

A semi athletic child could easily run up to a zed and pet it and run away. They aren't very fast or intelligent.
