Almanac Entry: ''Lexor Anklebone was just a lowly corporal back in his times. He was a veteran, but was underappreciated by his fellow soldiers. In a mission to attack a terrorist group, he was killed. Shortly after, he was zombified by Dr. Zomboss after finding his body in a barren desert. Zomboss may have saw a weak zombie, but the willing corpse trained himself day and night just to become the greatest minion for Zomboss. Zomboss, without a doubt, promoted him to become a high commander of his zombie army. He may carry the name "corporal", but he is greater that what it said.''

Gameplay: Anklebone excels on sieging and engaging team fights. With his riot gear, he can walk close to a crowd without getting hurt too much. He can throw a zombie stink cloud to provide cover for escape as well as poison damage to enemies who are inside. He rocket jumps, boosting his utility in attacking and slowing enemies he land on. But that's not all. Equip him with a ZPG to blast off groups of fools, or ride a freaking tank to show them who's in charge.
