Pygmy Hippo's "Deadliest Undead" Edges

Main:The Vampire's teeth are sharper but the Zombie's teeth have shown greater power, bone is tougher than flesh after all. Edge:Zombies

Secondary:The Claws are sharper than the hands and actually have the power to back it up, tearing people in half requires more force than pulling arms off. Edge:Vampires

Physicality:In Strength, I give a slight edge to the Zombies for consistently being able to overpower humans while some Vampires can be weaker. In Speed, I give the edge to the Vampires as they all have incredible agility unlike the Zombies who rely on rare exceptions. In Durability, I give the edge to the Vampires as their healing factor will help with their injuries more than the Zombies just ignoring pain. In Intelligence, I give the edge to the Vampires as they have been around for longer and tend to all be as smart as their human prey while the Zombies didn't really make any societies or wage war without the help of notable exceptions again. Edge:Vampires

Infection:Honestly I don'tthink either one is going to be affected, the Vampires are already dead and the Zombies don't have much blood in them, if any. Edge:Tie

Weaknesses:Both have a weakness to fire so that's out of the question for either to use. The Vampires I do believe are actually undead and while the cold can affect them, it's not a devastating weakness. The Zombie's rigor mortis is bad for them in reasons already discussed in physicality but the Vampire's pride is probably the worst weakness as they are not only outnumbered but also likely to ignore their intelligence advantage and focus on pure physicality which the Zombies can actually challenge them in certain categories. Edge:Zombies

Final Verdict:It seems the show was correct on it's most infamous episode as I can't see the Vampires from 30 Days of Night losing this fight. Yes, they don't have as good a bite, some of them are weaker than others, and their pride is going to get a lot of them killed by sheer stupidity but the Zombies from Night of the Living Dead have less going for them. Their hands can't match the claws, they don't have a healing factor, only notable exceptions have great speed and intelligence, and even with their numbers, their rigor mortis dooms most of them to being blitzed to death. Many Vampires will die but in the end, they will reign supreme as the deadliest undead against the Zombies.

Winner:Vampires (30 Days of Night)
