The Scagdead (TW)
-
The Scagdead is created when the t-Abyss virus undergoes a secondary mutation within a human host body. This mutation occurs when the victim has a stronger-than-normal resistance to the virus, slowing its spread. The result is the grotesque, disproportionate body characteristic of a Scagdead - this transformation occurs once in roughly a thousand hosts.Scagdeads appear as huge, fleshy, lumbering creatures with pillar-like legs. They are slightly taller than an average human, but much bulkier. Their coloration is mostly grey, save for a flesh colored patch where the remnants of the original human host remain. The host's head is effectively displaced by a massive fanged maw which opens vertically. In some cases, the host's head can repeat some words and phrases - this is dependent on the extent of the mutations on the head.
The left arm of the creature remains virtually unchanged from a regular human's, albeit emaciated and with an additional flipper-like appendage directly beneath it. On the other hand, the Scagdead's right arm has been grotesquely mutated - it has become extensively muscular (although obscured by folds of flesh) and tipped with an organic mimicry of a buzz-saw. This appendage can be swung multiple times in quick succession, mimicking attacks that of a Chainsaw Majini or Giant Chainsaw Man, and serves as the Scagdead's primary means of attack.
Scagdeads are also capable of vomiting up clam-like objects that serve as Bear Traps. These objects can stall the player, allowing the Scagdead to close in and attack, but they can also be destroyed with a single bullet from any gun.
