The Walking Dead: World Beyond has promised there will be some really monstrous-looking Walkers in upcoming episodes.
The new spin-off series to The Walking Dead, which is set 10 years after the world ended, has had mixed reviews since it premiered, but it looks like it will get into its stride by episode three.
Showrunner Matt Negrete spoke exclusively with Digital Spy and explained they are always "trying to think outside the box" when it comes to creating distinct Walkers.

"Oh, boy. I would say episode three has some really great Walkers – or Empties as we call them on our show," he said.
"There's one coming up with a gas mask melted onto its face, which I quite love, and even some Empties that have been fused together to create a monstrous… almost a gorgon with two heads and four arms.
"We're always looking for ways to mix things up, and we have our usual go-to Empties.
"Greg Nicotero and his team always hit that ball out of the park. But the more often we can find some distinct characteristics on these Empties, the better. And we always have fun trying to think outside the box."
Negrete previously revealed that there will be a Walker with holes in its face that almost made him vomit.
"It's so disgusting. It's a quick moment in the show, but it's so great. Anything that sort of maximises ultimate disgust, we're doing it."
The Walking Dead's season 10 finale will air as a special episode on Monday, October 5 on FOX in the UK. You can also catch up on the show via NOW TV. In the US, the season 10 finale will air on Sunday, October 4 at 9pm on AMC.
