Talkers are a type of conscious zombie first encountered in season 5.

Following the Black Rain event, the dead have began to talk. Fresh dead now resemble living, albeit sick humans, but are in fact completely dead, "with their souls still trapped in their bodies".

Talkers can have their zombification prevented by being fed a food-substance of unknown composition called Bizkuits, (rumored to contain trace amounts of brain, tastes metallic and needs more sugar), this keeps them in a human form, albeit sick looking, and also keeps them happy and able to safely live and function within human societies.

In Season 5 Episode 9 The Water Keepers we learn that talkers are about to view people who are spirit walking. As well as feel them when touched by the spirit.

In Season 5 Episode 10 State of Mine we learn that by eating batteries Talkers are able to stop their zombification, it "brings you back from the abyss". It is later learned that the reason for this was because of the Lithium in the batteries.
