10 Smartest Zombies In Horror Movies
2. Zeus - Army Of The Dead
In Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, a soldier experimented on in Area 51 escapes and starts the Las Vegas outbreak. Inspired by the statue in front of The Olympus, he becomes Zeus and is the undisputed king of the undead.
Zeus leads the massive zombie horde while having the ability to infect others and turn them into alpha zombies. At the same time, he showcases several intelligent qualities, such as introducing the concept of culture, sharing a relationship with a fellow undead, and even having the dexterity to ride a horse. He could even use weapons and wear protective gear to stop any potential headshots from killing him.
When his partner, the Alpha Queen, is beheaded by one of the humans of the picture, Zeus leads his army to hunt down our heroes and kills several in the process. His trail of revenge would come to an end when he follows Scott Ward and other survivors into an escape helicopter. There, he duels with the hulking man and even manages to infect him. Scott, however, is able to land a gunshot on Zeus, ending his reign for good.
