Depends upon the style of zombie you want. Generally they are assumed to be
STUPID! I would go with something like F-2, which is the lowest INT for the
Worker Insect Spirits.

>> Also, for their quickness: Isn't force/2 x2 the same as its force?

No. F/2 is the Attribute Rating. x2 is the Running Speed. Zombies are not
quick and run REALLY slow.
