You're fighting Norville RogersA lanky, scruffy young man in a green t-shirt and brown corduroy bell-bottoms creeps out of the shadows toward you. For some reason, though, he's sneaking around backwards, and doesn't actually see you until he bumps into you, at which point he spins around, eyes bulging and hair standing on end, and shrieks like a girl.
"Zoinks!" he yells. "A z-z-z-z-z..."
"Zombie?" you suggest helpfully.
"Aieeeeee!" He attempts to run away, but despite windmilling his legs at top speed, he doesn't actually go anywhere.
Hit Message(s):
A woman in an orange sweater and bowl haircut tries to pull off your mask. Since you're not wearing one, it's pretty painful. Argh! Eek! Eek! Oof!
Norville manages to close his chattering teeth on your face and bites you a few times out of sheer panic. Ugh! Eek! Ow! Ow!
Norville chases you into a hallway and in and out of a series of improbably-linked doors. You accidentally slam one in your face. Ooh! Eek! Oof! Ouch!
Norville cowers in front of you, terrified, but a blond guy in an ascot steps up and kicks your ass until you need a cot. Argh! Oof! Ow! Ugh!
He tosses a little cookie with the letters SD on it at you. Apparently the letters stand for "Slobbery Dog," because a huge dog comes bounding up, knocks you over, and licks you senseless. Argh! Ooh! Ugh! Eek! (sleaze damage)
Norville calls over his giant dog, which is just as terrified of you as he is. But then a smaller puppy jumps in and bites the crap out of you. Man, that puppy ruins EVERYTHING. Eek! Ouch! Ow! Ooh!
You do a little dance to the rhythm of Norville's chattering teeth.
Norville jumps into the back of his van and hides.
Norville calls over his giant dog, but it's just as terrified of you as he is.
Norville cowers in front of you, his pupils shrunk down to tiny pinpricks, the whites of his eyes bloodshot.
A woman in an orange sweater and bowl haircut studies you closely. "Jinkies! That's a real zombie! That sort of negates the whole point of our show!" she says.
He rubs his stomach and says, "Yikes! I've got a super-sized case of the munchies!" and goes off searching for some tortillas and cookies. Probably to eat them together. (FUMBLE!)

Occurs after reaching level 2 on a Zombie Slayer path.

- Like other Zombie Slayer hunters, this character is known for facing zombies. The gang from Scooby-Doo frequently busts humans pretending to be undead creatures, earning them the famous moniker of "those meddling kids".
- One of Shaggy's running gags (shared with Scooby) is eating foods in bizarre combinations. Cookies and tortillas (from the fumble message) would actually be one of their more normal meals.
- A characters' legs windmilling at top speed while they stay in place is a common start to the "Wheel O' Feet" trope, seen frequently in Scooby-Doo.
- The hallway with improbably-linked doors references the "ScoobyDoobyDoors" trope, also seen frequently in Scooby-Doo.
- The small puppy in the critical hit message is the infamous Scrappy-Doo.
