Some peoples are confused about why is "un-dead" men (men when it's killed by SCP-049, it turns into a zombie), well, good question. An un-dead person is called SCP-049-2 because it's another SCP-049, so it's marked with -2, interesting, isn't it? Now let's talk about SCP-049: SCP-049 is a creature made by SCP Foundation. When it sees a person, or goat (XD, but it's possible for any animal or person to become a zombie (SCP-049)), it follows the person until he doesn't catch it. If person or goat (again), it will become an SCP-049-2. Did you know: When a person becomes SCP-049-2, then SCP-049 will become a leader of any SCP-049-2. His look>
