1* Sparky, the dog, has a crossroads card that lets him strap rockets to himself and fly around the colony, [[DeathFromAbove raining bombs on zombies]]. Not only is it hilarious, but it kills eight zombies at the colony with no drawback.
2** Similarly, other than having a low Influence score[[note]]Thus being the most likely to die first if a group of survivors is threatened[[/note]] Sparky operates as a perfectly normal (and surprisingly competent) human survivor. Want to equip him with a baseball bat, shotgun or sniper rifle? Amaze as Sparky, the stunt dog, gears up to take down the zombie horde!
3* [[LargeHam Buddy Davis]], the fitness guru, tries to inspire everyone by showing off his rippling muscles. He then gets hit with a can, and the resulting ruckus raises morale.
4* Jenny, the waitress, can yell at some pennies she found to stay quiet. Then a bunch of zombies show up and she can think they're not all that bad because they smile at her. [[BlackComedy When she's seen by the watchmen at the colony talking to them, they think she's either bitten or finally lost her mind, and shoot her.]]
5* Forest Plum, the mall Santa, is such an in-universe TheScrappy that kicking him out raises morale.
6* If you recruit a male survivor and a helpless survivor at the same time, you are introduced to that male survivor's friend, Fat Earl, whom the survivor promised to "always keep with him". If you accept him, he [[CaptainObvious eats all of your food]], or you can [[ImAHumanitarian turn Fat Earl into sandwiches]], to which the survivor will remark that [[IronicEcho now he truly is always with him]]. This [[RefugeInAudacity gives you five food]], more than any other game ability.
7* You can deliver a cheesy one liner, killing a zombified priest, while gathering communion wine.
8* Having Andrew Davis turn the groceries into a greenhouse in the middle of winter can be hilarious, especially when the zombies are still there.
9* You can find a horse randomly roaming around the town, which you can use to get wherever you have to go without risking damage from [[ExposedToTheElements exposure]]. The second option in that crossroads card? "Sorry, buddy." Add 3 food to the supply.
10* Recruiting Colby requires the character to get naked with him. In the [[TitleDrop dead of winter]].
