About: Grabbers   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Able to hunt on their own, they can climb up rocky surfaces and strike where their "Host" can not. However, this leaves them more vulnerable to being attacked. They would also be useful in warning off possible scavengers from the Graboid nests. Parasites like the Cymothoa exigua or tongue-eating louse commonly found in fish, have been known to form attachments to host creatures for food and shelter. Whether this means that all tentacles of the graboid species are in fact some form of parasite is unknown.

  • In Max Brook's novel World War Z, Grabbers are among the many types of zombies which lie in wait for uninfected victims. Grabbers are humans who succumbed to the Infection whilst enclosed in an area, beyond the abilities of a zombie to escape, such as a car. There are an aquatic version of grabbers, which are humans who have succumbed to the virus whilst attempting to swim to safety and reanimated in the water. These "aquatic grabbers" often lurk in shallow water, or water which is ten foot deep - deep enough so the zombie can reach up and grasp its victim from the seabed or riverbed.
