Karina Ortiz’s journey continues The Walking Dead: Dead City It may have come to an end, but as a loyal fan, you value your time on the show. We spoke to the star about the sinister mutant walker that emerged from the bowels of the sewers shortly after his character passed away.
AMC confirmed to SK POP that the creature is called ‘The Walker King’.
A terrifying new creature in the The Walking Dead: Dead City is based on the phenomenon of the Rat King
When we asked Ortiz if the set was as spooky as it seemed The Walking Dead: Dead City Episode 5, she answered in the affirmative:
“It was pretty creepy. I mean, they did an amazing job with the sets. Unbelievable. Like everything is so detailed. And then, obviously, you have walkers. It was definitely an experience. And I thought it was cool. It’s part of the world, right? So I thought this was very dark.”
The Dominican American actress continued:
“And I hope that when people see it, it comes across in the sense that they could barely breathe in there. That was tough. But I think they did a great job.” Is this the city of dreams or nightmares?

The Rat King phenomenon occurs when a group of rats become entangled and their tails become tangled. It has inspired many horrifying moments in pop culture, most famously of the Rat King in The last of us.
Karina Ortiz spoke about The Walking King The Walking Dead: Dead City and explained how the Rat King concept inspired its creation:
“I thought this is so creative. This is so unbelievable. It comes from the whole Rat King thing. When there are too many of them, they intertwine together. Their tails intertwine and become one thing and it’s like grotesque. So, I thought it was a really creative way to bring this character. Something you’ve never seen before.”
But how did such a creature manage to exist in the bowels of the underworld, undiscovered until now? Ortiz explained:
“They’ve been underground before. They used to build tunnels. But this is New York. Obviously, a lot of people on this little island end up there. It makes sense that something would turn out like this, you know?” Had an absolute blast live tweeting this week’s episode #TWDDead City with all of you!
It’s crazy to think that we’re over halfway through this season and things seem to be getting bigger and bigger!
with your trip The Walking Dead: Dead City Towards the end, we asked Karina Ortiz if she also wanted to be a walker. In response, the actor laughed:
“I really didn’t want to turn into a zombie at first. So I think that’s how they honored her by not turning her into a zombie.”
