__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Abnormal''' is the first [[Enemies|enemy]] that appears in [[Molten Mode|Molten]], [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]], [[Challenge Trials]] and Fallen Arena [[PVP]] modes. It also appears in [[Badlands II]] and [[Pizza Party]] maps, and in [[The Takeover Event]]. Compared to the [[Normal]], the '''Abnormal''' is faster and has more health. It also appears in the [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] exclusive [[Legacy Fallen Mode|Legacy Fallen]] and [[Golden Mode|Golden]] modes.

The '''Abnormal''' can be spawned by the [[Dark Necromancer]] and from the [[Mystery]] upon its death in [[Legacy Fallen Mode|Legacy Fallen]], [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] and [[Golden Mode|Golden]] modes.

==Logbook Description==
"''The Abnormal zombie is a mutation from your basic zombie. It is faster and has more health than its predecessor, and can usually be found in your typical horde.''"

==Appearance==
{{Tabber
|Modern
|The current version of the '''Abnormal''' has a desaturated green skin color and a dirty dark brown torso and legs. It has dark green veins on its arms and head.

It has two randomly chosen animations, one of which has it confidently walking upright, while the other is remarkably similar with the key difference being that it is leaning forward.
|Legacy
|{{Tabber
|Current
|The current version of the legacy '''Abnormal''' in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode has a reflective desaturated light green skin color and black diamond-plated torso and legs. Its face has two scars, which forms an "X" on its face.
|Current (Enemies Beta)
|The current [[Enemies Beta]] version of the legacy '''Abnormal''' has a desaturated dark green skin color with lighter green veins running along its head and arms. It has a dark greyish-blue torso and legs.
|Version 2
|The second version of the '''Abnormal''' had a reflective light green skin color, a purple granite torso and legs, and a sad face.
|Version 1
|The first version of the '''Abnormal''' had a salmon skin color, a brown pebble torso, darker brown pebble legs and a drooling zombie face.

==Strategy==
*Most towers can deal with the '''Abnormal''' effectively.
**Any tower catered towards early-game, like the [[Cowboy]], [[Golden Soldier]], [[Brawler]], [[Militant]] or [[Golden Cowboy]] is recommended.
**It is unnecessary to try to get stronger, more expensive towers like the [[Minigunner]] solely to deal with '''Abnormals''', as cheaper options fare well against them already.
**Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies are especially effective against '''Abnormals''' as they spawn in hordes. Such towers include the [[Electroshocker]], [[Assassin]], [[Pyromancer]] and [[Shotgunner]].
*While slightly risky, it is sometimes ideal to avoid defending against the first few waves of '''Abnormals''' and simply let them reach the exit, as their low health makes it unlikely to make you lose, especially with high base health.
**You can use the [[Medic]] to heal the base health back, but it is not necessary.
**As you are not spending money on defenses, you can use the [[Farm]] more effectively for the first few waves to get better towers when stronger enemies appear.
