The Bride

The bride drags itself along most often on its knees, head bowed, and arms bent at a grotesque angle in towards its chest. It lacks eyes, but has superb olfactory and auditory senses, and when it takes note of odd surroundings, straightens itself up into a standing, bow-legged position with sharp, fragmented bones jutting from would be kneecaps. It walks quite awkwardly with its legs parted at a strange angle, but is much faster on its feet. It tosses its head back, often making loud, strangled groans, gash in its stomach stretched wide. When attacking, it may draw its arms from the large gash in its chest to reveal large claw-like blades and bones where hands should be. Expect poor aim, but heavy, nasty blows.

Though the beast has no ears, it appears to have a sense of hearing, and a superb sense of smell. When travelling across the ground, it uses its two dominant pairs of legs to walk, the smallest forelegs held tight to its chest and the smaller between the dominant two tucked against its stomach or, sometimes, feeling along. The forelegs appear to be used mainly for grasping prey. The thick sacks on its head which appear to be filled with pus are actually filled with an acidic substance, to which its body appears to be immune. Through a small cavity, the substance fills the beast's mouth instead of true saliva, making its bite dangerous for more than bacterial reasons. On the more unsettling side of its method of transportation, this particular creature is more than capable of scaling just about any surface and bending in nearly every conceivable direction. Its joints appear to be entirely capable of twisting in whatever desired manner, bird-like feet grasping easily to objects of every shape and size. The tail is also used as an extra support if necessary, as are the middle-sized limbs between the largest pair. Its jaw can unhinge like that of a snake. It can nearly look Arthur in the eye. Whether it attacks or not appears to be almost entirely random, though it will occasionally follow and "watch."
Attack Methods: Biting. Clawing. Acidic Saliva. Strangulation (Tail).

The Ankle-Biter

This creature loves to hide in low-set openings to wait for the perfect moment of strike. As can be seen by the far, back arm, all the limbs can fold up to be close to the body if it needs to hide in a smaller place, which it really seems to love to do. Without legs, it crawls everywhere it goes, using its main set of arms to drag it across the ground. It seems to sense things entirely by touch and/or scent. Its main way of attacking is to snap its front arms out to grab at the legs, holding tight. It will then either use its back two arms to strike out at a higher level or, if it can cause a fall, use one of its mouths to attack the legs. This creature is comfortable to attack at anytime really, and, if in position to, is far more likely to choose striking than sitting about and watching.

For a horrible monster from Hell, the Queen is very polite. She allows the challenger to attack first, but do not underestimate this one. She is very clever and likes to analyze her enemy, their strong and weak points, and how they attack. With this information, she can immediately come up with her own battle strategy against the said foe. She is not quite physically powerful, but her speed is immaculate. She acts as though a rogue, a ninja assassin, determined to terminate its prey. It seems as though she is out for revenge, but taking it in the dirtiest way possible. She always seems to go for the eyes first.

Chilong

This beast moves surprisingly quickly for its size, utilising its fangs, claws, and tail blades as weapons. It prefers low-lit areas and only attacks while in the Otherworld. It has no problem scaling walls and twisting itself around objects, very much like a snake. If one has ever seen a parade dragon, they will immediately recognise this for the resemblance. Though instead of the vibrant colours and humans within, the beast is dull and scales are falling away, revealing pulsing, rotting, disgusting flesh underneath. Its eyes glow vibrant red, with yellowed teeth and a sickly green tongue. Four legs on three-toed, clawed feet, a ridge of ruffled spines along its back. At the end of its tail are three long blades.

Schism

A tall, pale, gangly, humanoid monster. Their most distinct features are their head, which is elongated and ends in a cruel blade, and a single elongated arm. Its mouth runs down its entire head, and it splits vertically, much like several other monsters in previous entries in the series. It has a set of dull teeth that run down the entire length of its head and when its mouth opens its tongue can be seen flailing about. However, it usually just uses its bladed snout and wicked claws to attack. Speed is a great quality that Schisms have, therefore the wisest approach is to run away most of the time.

Needler

It appears humanoid, but its arms and legs are replaced with very sharp blades which it uses to walk around, as well as to attack. These blades are grafted onto the severed wrists and ankles of the creature. However, its legs are double-jointed. It seems as though its head had been removed. However, its sharp-mawed mouth is located between its legs.

Puppet Doctor

They appear in a white jacket with a lump on their back. They are hunched over like a puppet and attack with knives. The Puppet Doctors make terrible groaning noises and when defeated let out a long sigh. They are stronger than Nurses, but they are also slower. They wear standard hospital gear, including a white lab coat and tie.

Puppet Nurse

Monstrous nurses wearing old-fashioned uniforms. Large, slug-like parasites grow out of their backs, causing the nurses to hunch forward when they walk. They emit a loud moaning noise when killed.

Nurse

They have very deformed and damaged faces, twitchy movement and an attraction to any source of light, remaining frozen until alerted. They are dressed in pink nurse uniforms, and, when radiated with the flashlight, one can see a fetus growing inside their wombs. Turning off the flashlight will lower the chance of being attacked by a nurse, however this also hinders as one is often plunged into complete darkness without it. Normally they travel in packs of three or more.

Double Head

A canine monster in that usually appears in groups of two or four and attack upon sight. Their namesake feature refers to the fact that from the jawline, their heads are split vertically down the middle, with their tongue often hanging lazily between the split halves. They are "bandaged" in bloody strips of flesh and appear to be horribly burned. They often roam in packs and are easily distracted by corpses and bait, which they immediately start devouring once found and will often ignore people even if they run past them. They also tend to howl whenever alerted by a potential prey's presence, which calls other Double Heads to the area. However, when on the attack, they move quite quickly and attack by either lunging or gnawing at the legs.

Insane Cancer

The name Insane Cancer is derived from its outward appearance being suggestive of a cancerous mass. They are almost completely covered with fatty, cancerous-looking bulbous flesh, with pus-like excrements oozing from open sores. Their heads aren't very distinct, being small bulbs with a wound-like opening as their only feature.
Much like Closers, they often block off portions of the environment with their sheer mass. They attack by swinging their fat, claw-tipped arms and throwing themselves on top of their prey. Although they usually move slowly, shifting their weight back and forth, they will sometimes run towards their prey and knock them down with a very surprising speed. Normally, it's best to avoid these monsters and look for a safe way around them, however, their size may block the path and force one to fight them. If this happens, a shotgun or a strong and quick melee weapon will be very useful. They are usually found lying down or sleeping, and this is how they regenerate their health. It's also the time you can only do minimal damage to them. They will "deflate" after dying, which is the only way to make sure they are dead and not just resting.

Closer

They move slowly but their massive size and reach make them somewhat dangerous, as is their tendency to appear in tight spaces. They attack by hitting with their club-like arms, or extending a blade-like bone fragment from the tips of their arms. They will defend themselves by swinging their arms in a circle around them, knocking an attacker back.

Smog

Appears as a man with an opened torso and his head reared far back, with glowing, inflamed lungs and other glowing orange tumors sprouting on its body and especially its throat, as well as glowing orange eyes. It is a tall, spindly creature with an opposable ribcage, which opens vertically and can be used to attack. It spews a noxious black gas. This gas continuously leaks from their mouths, and flecks of burning embers are also present in it.

Siam

Appear as two humanoid figures, one male and one female, horrifically fused together and tied with a series of bondage gear and straps. The male side is the attack side, and his arms are morphed into huge, club-like appendages. The female is fused into the male's back, with her hands tied above her head and thereby the male's as well, and her legs also tied, dangling uselessly behind them. The Siam's movements are apelike. The creatures deal heavy damage with their arms, however they are fairly sluggish. The female side is significantly weaker than the male side and damage is increased when attacking it. The easiest way to defeat them is to use a high strength firearm like the shotgun while backing away and avoiding as necessary.

Sniffer Dog

dog-type creatures that have long, prehensile tongues that they use to drain the blood of their prey. They have dirty, leathery skin which appears to be decaying and, strangely, make snarling sounds which resemble that of a large feline rather than a canine. Their gums are prominent and hold large, dagger-like canines. The male variety has visible eyes, ears and green tinted fur and flesh. Females are missing eyes and ears and are purple tinted, with longer, sharper claws. The gender and rank of the Sniffer Dog is betrayed by their coloration. Green-tinged Sniffer Dogs, thought of as males, are weaker and less threatening than the purple-tinged, thought of as female, variety. They only tend to attack one gets too close, though the female variety is more aggressive and attacks on sight. The males can be distracted by carcasses and also tend to lay down, making them easier to hit.
