This is a mod to make the special zombies less special.

Download: [https://github.com/Hirmuolio/Despecialized-zombies](https://github.com/Hirmuolio/Despecialized-zombies)  
(full list of changes is also there)

Most of the special zombies aren’t turned completely mundane since they are still spawned with whatever weighting based on their original difficulty.
