In the Agents of SHIELD Season 6 finale, the team faced a horde of Shrike-infected zombies. 1 / 16

As Izel entered the final phase of her plan, she released a horde of Shrike... 2 / 16

...with orders to protect her temple at all costs. 3 / 16

When the Shrike realized S.H.I.E.L.D. was there, they went mad. 4 / 16

They piled on the agents, with no thoughts of preservation or their own-well beings. 5 / 16

Aside from special bullets made from the Shrike-killing blades, no injuries would stop them. 6 / 16

This made their similarity to zombies almost uncanny... 7 / 16

...so much so that everyone in the field found themselves making a zombie joke. 8 / 16

The battle even "inspired" Deke with the idea for a zombie-based game... 9 / 16

...a Shaw original concept, or so he believed at the time. 10 / 16

Yo-Yo almost found herself condemned to this fate when a Shrike infected her. 11 / 16

Fortunately for Yo-Yo, though, the Shrike's well-being was tired directly to Izel. 12 / 16

So, when May sliced Izel in half and killed her, the Shrike also died. 13 / 16

Yo-Yo made it out of this encounter alive, thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s last-minute defeat Pachakutiq. 14 / 16

This also ended the Marvel Cinematic Universe's plague of Shrike-infected zombies. 15 / 16

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will return next summer for its final season on ABC. 16 / 16
