Prototype 2 Infected

[Walda Caesar]

TheInfected are humans that have been mutated by the Redlight virus and Blacklight Virus. During the first outbreak, some were born from Elizabeth Greene's will, such as the hunters, and could be found throughout New York City.

Most were either developed in Hives that were located throughout the city, or bred in infected water towers, which were also prevalent throughout Manhattan Island. During the second outbreak, some forms of the infected were the result of Alex Mercer's will and developed in underground Lairs.

The infected, led by Elizabeth Greene (and later, Alex Mercer), have one aim: to spread the virus across the city, and eventually to the world. The military (and Mercer) stand in the way of their conquest, necessitating the creation of an "Infected army."

During the second outbreak, Mercer assumes a role akin to that of Elizabeth, wishing to create an Infected army and spread the virus throughout the world. Though in Mercer's case, he pursues this goal in a much more active and aggressive way, even resorting to using Blackwatch and Gentek resources and scientists (his enemies) to achieve this.

Infected citizens are ordinary people who have been infected by the Blacklight virus and have undergone minor mutations, turning into walking reanimated corpses virtually devoid of intelligence and driven entirely by their basic instinct to feed and spread the virus by infecting others. Its increased characteristics include increased resistance to damage (or perhaps greater pain tolerance), increased strength, and several different growths and deformities.

Their attacks are lethal to uninfected humans, although they pose almost no threat to armored vehicles and infected beings more powerful. The biggest threat they pose is a minor obstacle, even when they gather in hordes. These infected behave like the generic zombie, with the notable exception that they will eat any flesh they find, dead or alive, being willing to consume the bodies of fellow Infected as well as uninfected humans, although they prefer the living as they will only eat Infected corpses when no living targets are in sight. These Infected are so consumed with their hunger that they will drag bodies away from other Infected to hoard the bodies to themselves. If two Infected begin feasting on the same body, both will attempt to pull on said body to take it for themselves until the body is torn in two. Brawlers can also be seen snatching up these Infected randomly to eat them.

Most walkers are bare-headed, bloated, and dark-skinned. Others are more lean and lack skin entirely. Walkers are highly mutated, giving them increased muscle mass and numerous deformities, namely the blade on one arm. This blade is not unlike the one wielded by Alex Mercer, though it is vastly inferior.

Carriers can only be distinguished when Alex Mercer has Infected vision active. To put it simply, they are any type of human (Civilian, Military, or Blackwatch) that has been unknowingly infected with the virus, and has not yet begun to show symptoms.

They present no real threat in this state, as they behave in the same manner as their uninfected counterparts. The only instance that they are noted at all is in a mission where Alex consumes multiple Carriers to help achieve a mental link with the Leader Hunter.

Hunters are the main offensive force of the Infected and are the most common infected variant that actually pose a real threat to Mercer. They are usually found near Hives and Water Towers, as these are their breeding grounds.

The Hunters are presumed to have been human at one point since they have a vaguely hominid appearance. However, they have been drastically altered by the virus. The most notable change is their size; they are at least twice as large as the average human being and much more robust.

A Hydra will emerge from the ground when it senses a threat, such as a tank or a helicopter. When the enemy moves outside of the Hydra's range, however, it will retreat underground once more to tunnel to a more effective location. Heller gains the Tendrils power after consuming a Hydra.

Greene, having near complete mastery over the redlight Virus and its mutations, made the "Mother" form as a defense against the Bloodtox. Erupting from the ground to confront Mercer and the military, she appears as a repulsive mass of infected biological matter standing over 20 feet in height. The mass is supported by something resembling a spinal column, which is protected by three thick, tentacle-like growths.

These Infected are similar to Hunters, but they look less human with a more reptilian appearance. Heller consumes one to gain the Claw power. Brawlers will also occasionally grab nearby Infected citizens to eat them.

Large Infected that are more difficult to kill than Brawlers. They try to smash their massive fists at their target, and will try to block melee attacks. The stronger Juggernauts have larger fists and use a ground spike similar to the one used by Mercer. Heller gains the Hammerfist power by consuming one.

These winged Infected are the only known infected creatures not to be derived from humans (apart from hydras), being the result of infected pigeons. They are significantly larger than their uninfected counterparts and tend to attack in swarms. Out of all the Infected, Flyers are the weakest, and have approximately the same amount of health as Walkers.

Alex Mercer's spies in Blackwatch and Gentek. They have weaker powers than Prototypes, but they are still very powerful. They are the more intelligent Infected, as they know exactly how to complete their assigned missions. The first Evolved found was Dr. Anton Koenig.

Prototype is the fan-term used to describe individuals who have been infected by the DX-1118 C strain of the Blacklight virus. The viral strand genetically rewrites the host's cells, re-purposing it to suit its needs.

Super Soldiers (also known as D-Code Soldiers) are soldiers who have been genetically enhanced by Gentek with the three week old DX-1120 strain of the Blacklight virus. They are only Infected who are on the Blackwatch's side.

The Infected are humans and/or other lifeforms that have been mutated by the Blacklight Virus. During the first outbreak, some were born from Elizabeth Greene's will, such as the hunters, and could be found throughout New York City.

Civilians that carry the virus inside them, but has yet to show symptoms. Even Blackwatch or Military personnel were unfortunate enough to become one of these. They yet to pose much threat until the virus take over.

Regular Zombies are carnivorous walking corpses with minor mutations and virtually devoid of intelligence, completely driven by base instinct to feed and procreate the virus through infecting others. Their mutations endowed these walking corpses include increased damage resistance (or perhaps higher pain tolerance), enhanced strength, and various different growths and deformities.

Despite their lethality, these creatures don't pose much threat on advanced infected and armored vehicle. In fact, the largest threat they present upon either is a minor hindrance, even when they gather en masse. They behaves similar with George Romero's zombies.

Biological augmentation through exposure to different virus strain while being incubated within large, pustule-like growths on the hive's outer walls, regular zombies turned into deadlier Walkers. In addition of severe deformities that tattered their clothes, they attained improved muscle mass, ability to climb, and a sharp blade protruding on one of their arms, adding the threat they already pose. Although now more than capable of killing a foot soldier in a single blow, Walkers are still pale compared to more advanced Infected, only posing considerable threat to Prototypes in mass. Males are larger than their female counterparts, with their largest variation being a dark skinned, bloated body.

Hunters are the main offensive force of the Infected, and are the most common infected variant that actually pose a real threat to Mercer. They are usually found near Hives and Water Towers, as these are their breeding grounds. All hunters are created in more sophisticated way than zombies.

The Hunters are presumed to have been human like zombies at one point, since they have a vaguely hominid appearance, however, they have been drastically altered by the virus. The most notable change is their size; they are at least twice as large as the average human being, and much stronger.

Hydras are large, worm/tentacle-like incarnations of the Blacklight virus. They possess a jagged, horizontal maw at their end that gives them a forked appearance. It's unknown whether they either created from humans or worms that infected by Blacklight virus, but whatever creature that they originally was at one point, the mutation eventually gives birth to these giant monsters.

A Hydra will emerge from the ground when it senses a threat, such as a tank or a helicopter. When the enemy moves outside of the Hydra's range, however, it will retreat underground once more, possibly to move to a more effective location. All Hydras are controlled by Elizabeth Greene, as when she dies, no more Hydras showed up.
