Zombies vs. Werewolves - Who would win?

However, zombies have never really attacked animals prefering humans, and Werewolves lose so much of their humanity that they are more animal than human. So i think the zombies would just pass up the werewolves seeing them more has wolves than human, which would allow for the werewolves to hunt them.

In a werewolf, this increases their strength, speed and, we can therefore assume, their metabolism. Zombies, on the other hand, appear to be dead. They can go years without eating and drinking, lose limbs without any ill effects, and don't appear to breathe. Despite their overwhelming desire to eat the flesh of the living, they don't appear to have any metabolism at all.

Now, since a zombie's heart doesn't beat and its blood doesn't circulate, it would be doubtful that it is capable of being infected with any disease, natural or supernatural. Werewolves, however, may be as likely or MORE likely than a normal human being to become zombies after being bitten.

The living dead lose their ability to reason and speak, becoming animals with only the basest instincts. If a zombie werewolf is affected mentally, it's not much of a step down. The strength of a zombie is equal to the strength it had when living, reduced by the time it has had to decompose. A freshly-bitten zombie werewolf would be just as strong as fast as its lycanthropic brethren, but it would be incapable of feeling fatigue or pain. It would instantly set upon the other werewolves.

As they say, it only takes one. Zombies don't attack each other, but the dead will attack the living regardless of their previous affiliations. The first zombie werewolf would attack the others, and the plague would spread more quickly with each infection. The werewolves, being animals themselves, wouldn't be able to rally like human survivors in so many zombie movies. There would be no barricading of doors, no pooling of supplies, no desperate bids for freedom in an armoured van, the werewolves would simply die in confusion and pain, only to rise again and fill the zombie ranks.

Zombies would totally win.
