Slasher: an armor destroying zombie

[Adam the Waster]

A zombie so mutated that her arms have basically turned into sharp blades, this mean babe will tear your armor and you faster then Karnen going for the divorce papers!

She has as much hp as big mama but moves faster and hits much harder. 

Abilitys

50% armor pricing damage 

20% more block damage 

Increase movement speed. (1 up the base settings/whatever you have it set too)

I can agree with higher entity damage, but don’t think that it should have higher block damage. That is what demos are for.

It would make an excellent ambush type of enemy.

Perhaps give it a unique audio like a whistling kind of sound maybe? 
i can’t remember the name but there is a Native American legend about a cursed humanoid creature that sounds like this. It would be interesting to see inspiration drawn from that.

I LOVE this idea, it could have some elements of the creatures from dead space maybe. We already have a few creepy ass ultra mutated zombies in the game, starting super early with the appearance of the crawlers/jumpers, another one to add some variety would be awesome! 

The armor piercing could alternatively be done in the form of a debuff, perhaps this zombies hits could inflict some sort of corrosive toxin that reduces your armor by 50% for a duration, perhaps 20-30 seconds or so, which would significantly increase your damage from other zombies as well during that time., AND  the debuff could be refreshed whenever they hit you again. Perhaps they could have above average reach for a zombie as well, with longer disfigured bony protrusions serving as their bladed limbs.

Do you speak of the Wendigo perchance?

No, not a Wendigo, I’ll have to find the name. I remember hearing the stories back in the day when I visited relatives, just don’t remember what it was called.

Do share!!!

I think the closest thing I can find upon doing a quick search is the “Kohonta”.

Other honorable mentions for ideas are:

- Baykok

- Apotamkin

- Kee-Wakw 

It’s been a LONG time since I heard the stories and legends, but Kohonta is the best match I can come up with for now.

The main idea came from dead space. A female special Infected with bladed coming out of her arms would not only be a 

Iconic 

And b

Add a special danger to the game that really we need

In terms of “special dangers” I agree. I’m actually working on a list right now to post. 
Glowing ones, mutated, demos, and fire zombies are a nice start, but more would definitely be welcome!
