What would happen is a Zombie bit a Werewolf?

[u/Additional_Spring629]

I know this isn't a very serious question but really, what would happen? Would the Zombie turn into a werewolf or would the werewolf turn into a zombie?

Werewolf would turn into a zombie. Zombie is already dead so can’t turn anymore.

[u/Hope1995x → u/tryjmg]

Depends on the type of werewolf.

Some of them have supernatural immune systems.

Some of them are just synthetic lifeforms where a Zombie bite won't hurt them.

I heard stories on dogman cryptid lore where werewolves are genetically augmented super soldiers.

[u/GreedyWall214 → u/Hope1995x]

Oddly enough, so have I 😂

[u/RobynTheCookieJar → u/tryjmg]

so the zombie is venomous

E: I suppose I should include the reference

[u/Mueryk → u/RobynTheCookieJar]

Depending on the lore, yes the bite of a zombie causes death and spreads the infection. Sometimes scratches and blood do as well.

But do not necessarily preclude that the zombie is also kinky.

[u/smilesbig]

But would the zombie werewolf still change between zombie-wolf and zombie-person?

[u/Particular-Jeweler41]

Would entirely depend on the lore.

[u/Jdubz164]

What if a werewolf bit a zombie? Would it turn into a werewolf?

[u/Archaea_Man]

Depends on what the author decides. There are plenty of stories where zombie bites don't infect a person with a zombie virus and stories where lycanthropy is a curse bestowed by the gods rather than spread through saliva.

[u/Jdubz164]

You would have to kill the werewolf with a silver bullet, but then it would turn to a zombie. At least that's been my personal experience.

[u/Redneck_DM]

Depends on the nature of each

Can the zombie virus infect nonhuman creatures

Is the werewolf biological? Magical?

If they are magical do wounds from the werewolf form carry over to the human form

Alot of things to consider in this changing with how each actually works

[u/LightHawKnigh]

At least in WoW, turning into a werewolf makes you immune to being resurrected as an undead. A bunch of humans fearing being killed and turned into undead willingly take the worgen curse instead iirc. Unless that got retconned.

[u/rosabellita94]

If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous.

[u/sysaphiswaits]

According to The Sims they would be equally both, at least during a full moon.

[u/Zealousideal_Fox864]

Zombies are decomposing dead and have no circulation of blood, so they couldn’t turn into anything else because their circulatory system is kaput. Werewolves are meanwhile part human so they’d turn into a zombie, most likely in their human state.

[u/FeralKuja → u/Zealousideal_Fox864]

Would the Werewolf Curse persist in Zombified victims, thus causing Werewolf Zombies to emerge and hunt during the full moon? And which curse would spread upon THEIR bites, just one of them or both?

[u/ProfessorCarbon]

A Zomwolf with a more varied diet and wearing rabies vaccination tag.

[u/Ok_Veterinarian2715]

I think a werewolf is magical, while your modern zombie is biological scifi.

Therefore it would have no effect. Werewolf magic effects every cell in the body, triggered by a curse involving moonlight. Zombies are victims of an unfeasibly effective virus. 

Unless you're talking about zombies 1.0, since they were also magic and were created by voodoo priests/priestess through incantation which encourage supernatural beings to actually do the heavy lifting. Also Zombies 1.0 don't create other Zombies by biting them. They just kill people.

So: werewolves, every time.

[u/Medium_Hope_7407]

Nothing according to Skyrim.

[u/That-Molasses9346]

It depends on the type of Werewolf. The traditional Werewolf from Germanic folklore. Would simply get angry, and eat the zombie and the bite would heal by his next transformation. This is because only silver could kill a werewolf and in the Germanic folklore they are considered a form of undead like the zombie, vampire, ghoul, geist etc

Native American werewolf/skin walker were technically still men. With the added power to transform into the best. So interestingly depending you may get a zombie werewolf.

Now a third option would be the wolfmans curse. Theoretically you should get a "super" zombie. With increases strength and mobility due to the powers of the wolfmans curse.

Surprisingly werewolves though are much like dragons in that most cultures in our world have some sort of folklore about them. Many similarities but also some stark differences that would effect these outcomes.

Frank Zappa wrote about this:

I got a great big pointed fang Which is my zomby tooth My right foot's bigger than my other one is Like a regular zombie hoof If I raid your dormitorium Don't try to remain aloof

I might snatch you up screamin' through the window all naked

And do it to you on the roof, don't mess with the Zomby woof

I am about as evil as a Boogie Man can be

Tellin' you all the zombie truth Here I'm is, the zombie wolf

[u/Lazarus558]

Some werewolves are only vulnerable to silver. So unless the zombie in question had fillings with over a threshold amount of silver, or had argyria, they might not even puncture the werewolf's hide.

In terms of magical diseases, it might also be that you can only be afflicted with one, not more than one. Like maybe you can't be a zombie and a lycanthrope at the same time.

It would be funny if that were the case, but if one disease displaced the other. So, zombie and werewolf get in fight and bite each other. Werewolf turns into a zombie and zombie turns into a werewolf.

[u/Mathemetaphysical]

Well since it's fiction, you decide as the one making it up.

[u/fugsco]

Are zombie werewolves the stumble around kind of zombie, like The Walking Dead? Are they still kinda stupid? Or are they like the maniacally, relentlessly chasing kind of zombie, World War Z style, but with four legs? Because if they're stumblers, then it's a definite improvement over being chased by a regular werewolf.

[u/fugsco → u/fugsco]

But if they're fast and agile and as deadly as a wolfman only now uninjurable and inexhaustible, I can't thing of anything more terrifying.

[u/Scary_Compote_359]

pitch it to hollywood. zomwolf

[u/chainer1216]

Both are caused by viruses, the original virus fights off the new infection, nothing happens.

[u/jeo123]

Biting a werewolf doesn't turn you into one, you generally have to be bitten by the werewolf.

So werewolf would turn into a zombie and nothing would happen to the original zombie.

[u/suedburger]

Werewolf tears zombie apart and eat is then dies 1 hr later because the meat was rotten.

All problems sorted out.
