Zombies are the best way to justify human-shaped monsters.

Yes, I know. Bro is literally just a light house. His name is 'Claw Machine'! From a story that I'm currently writing.

His job is literally to just bring humans into his quote on quote Mother's base so she can keep creating more of her children. He also likes climbing stuff and monkey bars. Don't worry, the Mother's not a hypocrite, she's also a zombie.

Zombies don't exist to be monsters, they exist to create drama.

So there is this thing called mirror DNA or L-DNA. However, the idea that mirror DNA is inherently dangerous is more speculative. Here’s why:

Biological Systems Can't Read It – Natural enzymes, proteins, and cellular machinery are evolved to work with right-handed DNA. Left-handed DNA (or mirror-DNA) would be biologically inert because living organisms wouldn’t have the right molecular "tools" to interact with it.

Potential Applications – Scientists have considered using L-DNA for medical and nanotechnology applications because it’s resistant to normal enzymes that degrade DNA. It could be useful for ultra-stable drugs or molecular computing.

Hypothetical Dangers – Some science fiction-like theories suggest that if an organism could evolve or be engineered to use mirror-DNA, it might be resistant to antibiotics or immune responses. However, creating such an organism would be an enormous challenge since all cellular machinery would need to be mirrored, not just the DNA.

Did the theory you read suggest a specific danger, like bioweapons or self-replicating synthetic life?

Theoretically there can be a species of pseudo humans with L-DNA that eat humans

They're more like frankensteins than infected zombies, I guess Undead would be a better term? Though, now looking back at it they are more like monsters made from human materials.

The idea I had was based off of the ideas of an extra organ inside the heart that all humans had, basically just one to justify their special powers.

It's nothing scientific, and is based off of Frankenstein's monster. No bioengineering stuff, it's just the 'Mother's' specific organ allows her to eat human flesh including their specific superpower organ to create a monster. Basically Fantasy disguising itself as Science.

My fav aren't even zombies.. they are infected
