The Tar Man is the original zombie found in Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 4.

Information

This unique kind of zombie was the first one to appear at the irradiated area within the Monoeye UFO. It is much tougher than other zombies, due to the increased time it has been zombified, and also the most dangerous due to its speed, durability, and wide spray of deadly zombie goo. It can throw a large spread of zombie goo in an arc at its target. When situated on a platform directly above its target, it will drop down and try to land on its enemy.

In Metal Slug 3D, the Tar Man has a new attack where it turns purple and leaps at the player, exploding upon contact with the ground or the player in a similar manner to the zombie Rebels.
