It has a stomach, eyes, and Nests inside of it.

One notable characteristic of this Necromorph is the eerie, high-pitched whistling sound it produces while attacking this sound is derived from the resonating chambers known to be possessed by its alien host.Īlong with the smaller Necromorph variants, the oldest and biggest of the natives were reformed into various Hive Mind forms, similar to the one encountered on Aegis VII, capable of redirecting the Marker signal and posing as mobile command centers enhancing the lesser Necromorphs' intelligence.Īmong the surviving specimens is the one that the Sovereign Colonies research teams would name the Nexus. The Necromorph will burst out the Crawlers if the player gets too close but they can also burst them out if they are far away, possibly to cause chaos and distract the players while the Alien Necromorphs begin charging towards the player. These Necromorphs have three main attacks: charging towards the players, giving a powerful punch if the player gets too close and being able to burst out Crawlers made from the extinct alien hosts. They replace Brutes and Tripods from Dead Space and are first encountered on Isaac's descent to the underground city in Chapter 16. Their skin is mottled and rotten, and the digits on the arms have rotted down to the bone, producing scythe-like claws. The torso of the creatures has been split open to allow the ejection of Crawlers at prey. A Necromorph variant of the mysterious alien species once native to Tau Volantis, these menacing, strong beasts stand around 7 to 8 feet tall (a little over 2 meters tall) and are very similar to Brutes in overall size, appearance and behavior and are possibly the Brute variants made from the extinct natives.
