Vapires. They regenerate even as they kill you, intelligent or not. I doubt a simple Zombie can be harder to kill than a vampire.
And since anyone scracthed or bitten by one would turn into yet another, the numbers would be even with zombies. So, superfast, regenerates from blood, mindless ultrahorde of vampires with the only practical weaknesses being sunlight and garlic. Stake through the heart might work, but at that point you are within its striking range...

Zombie......no Vampire..........no wait Zombie..........no.....Vampire......dammit all!!!
I can't decide.
I guess I wouldn't want to be a zombie as much as I would like to be undead (more like the forsaken,, dead but they still have human thought and feeling)
But Vampires are really cool.........eh......

Werewolves would be human most of the time, so there's a good chance that they'd all happily be rounded up in their human state to ask for a cure, at which point we either give it to them if we have one or gather them into a dead town - like Detroit or something - and nuke them.
On the other hand, if they decide they want to stay that way or figure out we're going to slaughter them, then during the day they'd be just like anyone else. Best friend, wife, son...then bam! Wolf eating your lungs. Probably the hardest out of all of them to detect.

Don't you know anything? Vampires can function in daylight they'll just be really easy to see in all their sparkly glory.Smudge91 said:

Zombies are freaking scary. At least vampires and werewolves are sentient, you might even be able to reason with them, or join them willingly. But zombies are just a virus. Scary as hell.
FFS, I'd want to be a werewolf.

Werewolves, as you only have to worry about them when the moon is full, so it gives us plenty of time to find away (blood or dna testing maybe?) to find who has the infection and stop the spreading, not to mention all you need is some silver bullets, more than easy for our militarys to take out, so yeah Werewolves for the easy win against them!
I see, so are all 3 mindless killing machines that turn everything they attack/bite into one of them? If they are then I guess we'd be screwed over no matter which one it was.tthor said:
To be entirely honest, zombies would be the most gruesome of the three, while werewolves come in a VERY close second. The only reason zombies win out is, based on the most popular lore, one bite or scratch from a zombie and you're pretty well dead and will become one of their teeming masses. Essentially, zombies snowball, and that's what makes them truly dangerous. They do not sleep. They do not stop.
There is also the human factor to it. Yes, they are, for all intents and purposes, feral beasts... but they are HUMAN feral beasts. Many people would not be able to stand the thought of harming another human, even if they were amongst the undead. Furthermore, imagine seeing your neighbors, your friends, your relatives, amongst the zombie swarm. Psychologically, more people would be unable to do what is necessary against zombies that were once people they cared about.
Now I said werewolves come in a close second. They are truly feral beasts in their wolf form. There is no shred of human restrain, nor cognitive capabilities of a human, left in a werewolf when in wolf form. Depending on the lore you care to follow, they may or may not be cognitively aware that they are werewolves when in human form. Once again depending on lore, the transformation can be voluntary or a result of the moonlight, which could be a result of the full moon or simply moonlight in general. The point being, they are not always a threat. Furthermore, they cannot create hoards of werewolves if they devour their prey whole.
Vampires are nowhere near as dangerous as people would imagine. Yes, they are technically undead. Yes, they will feed on the living. Yes, they can turn the living. But the factor that breaks them is that they can think. While yes, strategically they pose the most threat because they can plan, coordinate and execute, why would they want to cause mass havoc? They feed to survive, toy with people as they will, and basically exist. Plus they are extraordinarily vain. They are out to live life, so to speak, to it's fullest, and are quite self-centered. Chaos is only fun for so long. Soon enough they'll get bored and move along to something else.

Zombies are kind stupid and attack in massive mobs so contrary to nearly every movie about them a good missle would destroy them all and they would be gone.
Although something like 28 Days later would be very problematic.
Werewolves depends really on what take if you go for more Underworld take on them and they're werewolves then we would be screwed but if it is other ones where they can only transform during full moon they would be nothing to worry about.
Vampires would be the worst as they look like us and act like us but only come out at night so they use everything we can but are stronger, faster and what not and they would be able to be active the time most of us aren't so these would be the worst in my opinion.

Ok, based on the parameters set forth in the original post (which I had not read) I still say zombies due to their lack of blood lust. Unintelligent and blood lust add a unique spin to the picture, but make both werewolves and vampires less of a threat (theoretically) because they cannot reproduce. Zombies cause more zombies upon death, werewolves and vampires would just cause a bloody mess...
Vampire's have a retardedly large amount of weaknesses. Their intenlligence is the only thing that makes them so dangerous, whihc they dont have in the thread. Religious icons, holy water, sun light, garlic and stakes are all easy to obtain and will take them down no problem.
