Infected Ideas

 * The Breeder or the Mother, a pregnant female infected with the horrific mutant ability to burst out its fetus or embryo from its womb to capture its victim. After the Fetus bursts out, it will return back to its womb by being dragged into it by its intestines.

The appearance of the Pregnant Zombie would be a weak and skinny woman carrying a baby in its stomach. The reason for its deformed thinness is that the Fetus had absorbed all of its mother's nutrients and energy which mutated into a rather more monster looking creature than a baby looking one and achieved its pouncing skill.

Since the Breeder is not just one zombie but two, once the Mother dies or gets killed, the Fetus would crawl out of its womb searching for organic flesh but the true aim of the Breeder is to keep its Fetus alive by eating organic flesh (either the Mother eats or the Fetus) but keeping the Fetus in the womb is enough to keep it alive but weakens, so if the Fetus crawls out of the womb it'll soon die.
 * The Parasite or the Host, similar to the Breeder, this infected has an overgrown parasitic worm sticking out of its body. The cause of its mutation would be by parasitic worms living inside a person's body. Its appearance would be like a combination of the Smoker and Charger from Left 4 Dead but does not have the same abilities.

The appearance of the infected is having an overgrown worm as said and also having large parasitic worms sticking out of its flesh. The parasitic worms are used as a whip or even set as a trap on the ground for whoever or whatever falls for it but since the worms came from the Host, it'll soon die once it is detached from the Host.

For the overgrown worm, it is the one that has absorbed most of the virus from the Host and mutated into a large one. After mutating, it tears itself out of the Host's flesh (either replacing a body part) and becomes the mind of it. But the overgrown worm is not as strong as its Host and has a soft body. It controls the Host and other worms to "incapacitate" a human being or other for the overgrown worm to swallow it whole because it is soft and won't be able to eat a resisting being. Once swallowed, it will digest its meal in a large amount of time until it becomes hungry again.

The Host is somewhat unkillable though but can be weakened down by damaging its body by either shooting or blasting it. Fighting the Host in close combat would be suicide for it has large worms able to grab and strangulate a living being but the only possible way in killing a Host is by seperating the overgrown worm from the body as it would die in one moment just like the Breeder or by throwing a grenade into its large mouth. The overgrown worm is the mind of the Host, so it would be the primary target.
 * The Spider, an infected with four arms and a chelicerae and found in rural places. It has the ability of a real spider: able to climb on walls and produce a sticky silk-like material. The cause of this mutation would be the ingestion of "spiders", a sort of taboo or habit done mostly in rural, or provincial regions.

It has the ability to sense beings nearby, climb up walls, and produce a sticky silk-like substance. Just like a real spider, it creates webs in areas as a trap but it would mostly wander off to hunt food and return to its web. But unlike a real spider, it can shoot out from its body a large ball of sticky web and puke out a sticky vomit from its mouth to capture its victim.

In addition, the Spider also has a venomous attack. The venom is used for weakening and blurring the vision of its victim but disappears eventually. The venom is only generated in the body but takes several minutes.
 * The Nightmare or the Bird of Prey, the infected with feathers. It may sound ridiculous but this infected has the ability of flight.

The Nightmare is an infected with feathers growing out of its flesh used for gliding through the air (not flying). Its gliding ability can only be done if the Nightmare jumps off from a high area. It is like a zombie that wears a wingsuit but instead uses feathers.

The cause of its mutation is direct physical contact with birds. Its DNA may have entered a person's body during the apocalypse and bit by a zombie.

In addition, the Nightmare also have talons on its feet used for slashing a victim mid-air or on the ground and used for capturing a victim as well. Like the Witch, this infected has claws but not as thin as the Witch's. Its claws are large like a dinosaur's able to take a human down easily but gives higher damage than the Witch.
 * The Reaper or the Ripper, this is an idea for Left 4 Dead 3 (if it even comes out). The male version of the Witch. Valve has already created the male version for Left 4 Dead 2 called "Claws" but decided to not use it. But if Valve is looking for a better idea of the Male Witch, this one is what they're searching.

Unlike the Witch, this infected does not cry but instead groans. It groans due to depression same as the Witch and would beat itself up due to anger as well. Unlike the Witch, the Male one does not run as the same speed as the Witch but only runs at an average speed and easily shot in distances with guns but has a high durability.

There is one problem though, the names Reaper and '''Ripper. '''Quite difficult to choose because each name has a meaning. With Reaper, it signifies the Grim Reaper which means the infected shall have only one large elongated claw just like how the Grim Reaper holds his scythe. And with Ripper, it signifies Jack the Ripper which means the infected shall have both claws on its hands and will slash and disembowel its victim just like how Jack the Ripper was known.

The image of this infected will not be shown 'cause of the problem mentioned above.
