1. #1Necromorphsselective

   Keys: Necromorphs, mutated corpses, mutated corpse, Necromorph, necromorph, necromorphs

   Necromorphs are reanimated and heavily mutated human corpses transformed by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection originating from genetic code transmitted by the Markers. These creatures are extremely aggressive, attacking any uninfected life on sight with the sole intent of killing hosts to create more biomass for further infection and spread. The infection process begins when a Marker broadcasts its signal, inducing dementia and hallucinations in the living while reanimating dead tissue into Necromorph forms. Necromorphs are held together by the Marker's carrier wave; destruction of the Marker causes them to rapidly degenerate into inert organic slurry. Direct infection occurs through the Necromorph pathogen, often delivered by specialized forms like Infectors. Living hosts undergo agonizing transformation as cells die and recombine, generating intense heat and completing in seconds or minutes. All Necromorphs serve the greater purpose of gathering biomass to facilitate Convergence, the creation of a Brethren Moon under Marker control. Known variants include Slasher, Leaper, Lurker, Swarmer, Infector, Drag Tentacle, Pregnant, Brute, Guardian, Pod, Hunter, Wheezer, Exploder, Divider, Twitcher, Leviathan, and The Slug.

2. #2slasherselective

   Keys: Necromorphs, Slasher, slasher, Slashers, slashers, Necromorph, necromorph, necromorphs

   The Slasher is the most common Necromorph form, created from a single human corpse. It features large blade-like bone protrusions extending from the shoulders or back, used as primary weapons for slashing and stabbing. The lower jaw is often missing or split, exposing sharp teeth for biting. Additional vestigial arms emerge from the abdomen or sides for stability. Slashers move with an unstable gait, using blades as counterweights, and can sprint, charge, leap into vents for ambushes, or feign death. They emit gurgling sounds when idle and loud roars when attacking. Variants include the standard naked form with exposed musculature, the tougher Enhanced Slasher with blackened tissue, female variants that spit acid, and armored forms retaining RIG pieces. Slashers are resilient and deadly in groups, requiring limb dismemberment to neutralize.

3. #3leaperselective

   Keys: leaper, leapers, Leapers, Leaper

   Leapers are Necromorphs formed from a single human corpse, with legs and intestines fused into a powerful scorpion-like tail tipped with a sharp blade. The arms are elongated and strengthened for propulsion. They excel in zero-gravity environments and low-gravity areas, using walls and ceilings for rapid pounces and tail strikes that can sever limbs. Leapers emit high-pitched screams and are highly agile, capable of leaping great distances to impale victims. Enhanced Leapers have blackened tissue and greater durability. They are commonly encountered in open or zero-G sections of the USG Ishimura.

4. #4lurkerselective

   Keys: Lurkers, lurkers, lurker, Lurker

   Lurkers are Necromorphs reanimated from human infants or infant organ clones. They possess three long barbed tentacles emerging from the pelvic region that launch sharpened bone projectiles or whip at close range. The body is covered in leathery skin, with dangling vestigial limbs. Lurkers crawl along walls and ceilings using sticky tentacles, thriving in zero-gravity areas where they ambush from hidden positions. They emit cries blending infant wails with animalistic growls. Enhanced Lurkers are blackened and fire deadlier projectiles. Severing the tentacles neutralizes their ranged threat.

5. #5swarmersselective

   Keys: Swarmers, swarmer, Swarmer, swarmers

   Swarmers are small Necromorphs formed from reanimated flesh fragments. They travel in large swarms, leaping onto victims to overwhelm and tear apart flesh with tiny claws and teeth. Individually weak, they pose a serious threat in numbers by climbing onto suits and obstructing vision or movement. Swarmers are often released from the abdominal sacs of Pregnant Necromorphs upon rupture.

6. #6infectorsselective

   Keys: infectors, Infectors, infector, Infector

   Infectors are bat-like Necromorphs with a large proboscis used exclusively to infect corpses. They fly toward dead bodies, insert the proboscis to inject pathogen, and rapidly mutate the corpse into new Necromorphs, including enhanced Slashers or Leapers. Infectors have fragile wings and a glowing sac; they do not attack the living directly but prioritize creating more Necromorphs from available bodies.

7. #7tentacleselective

   Keys: tentacles, Drag Tentacle, Tentacles, Drag Tentacles, tentacle, Tentacle

   Drag Tentacles are long, thick appendages with glowing yellow pustules emerging from holes in walls, floors, or ceilings. They lash out to grab victims, dragging them toward the hole for instant death by crushing or impaling. The pustule is the weak point; destroying it severs the tentacle and prevents regrowth in that location. Drag Tentacles belong to larger unseen Necromorph organisms embedded in the ship's structure.

8. #8Pregnantselective

   Keys: Carrier, Carriers, carriers, pregnants, Pregnant, pregnant, carrier, Pregnants

   The Pregnant is a large Necromorph with two massive scythe-like bone blades extending from the back for slashing attacks. The torso is dominated by a swollen abdominal sac containing a payload of smaller Necromorphs, usually Swarmers, though some carry Lurkers. The human arms are fused into the sac, and legs are shortened for stability. Pregnants move slowly but strike powerfully. Damaging the sac causes it to rupture, releasing the payload to overwhelm victims. Enhanced Pregnants are tougher and carry enhanced spawn.

9. #9Bruteselective

   Keys: Brutes, Brute, brute, brutes

   Brutes are massive Necromorphs assembled from multiple human corpses, encased in thick bone armor with spiked exoskeleton. They possess powerful arms for punching and headbutting, and can charge at high speed to crush victims. The posterior is weakly armored, with vestigial arms for support if main limbs are severed.

Their organic structure resembles pulsating sacs with rudimentary tentacles, and they emit faint growling sounds.

12. #12Hunterselective

    Keys: Hunter, Hunters, hunter, hunters · Secondary: necromorph, Necromorphs, necromorphs, Necromorph

    The Hunter is a unique, Slasher-like Necromorph engineered by Dr. Challus Mercer on the USG Ishimura. Formed from a single human corpse, it features blade-like arms and a gaping maw, but its defining trait is rapid limb regeneration, making it nearly indestructible without extreme measures. The Hunter stalks Isaac Clarke through the Medical and Crew Decks, using vents for ambushes and emitting guttural roars. It requires incineration or exposure to vacuum to be permanently defeated, as seen when Isaac traps it in a shuttle engine test fire.

13. #13Wheezerselective

    Keys: Wheezers, wheezer, Wheezer, wheezers

    Wheezers are stationary Necromorphs found exclusively on the Hydroponics Deck of the USG Ishimura. Formed from a single human corpse, their lungs are grotesquely expanded and relocated to the back, forming pulsating sacs that release toxic gases, contaminating the surrounding air. Wheezers cannot attack directly and are immobile, but their presence renders environments hazardous, requiring RIG suit filters to survive. Killing a Wheezer clears the local air, and they are identified by labored breathing sounds.

14. #14Exploderselective

    Keys: Exploders, Exploder, exploders, exploder

    Exploders are thin, humanoid Necromorphs with a distinctive glowing yellow sac on one arm, containing a highly volatile organic compound. This sac can be detonated on impact, creating a powerful explosion capable of killing or dismembering nearby targets. Exploders move slowly, using their non-explosive arm for weak melee strikes, and emit high-pitched wails. They are often deployed as suicide attackers, rushing toward targets to maximize explosive damage. Severing the sac arm prevents detonation.

15. #15Dividerselective

    Keys: dividers, Divider, Dividers, divider

    Dividers are tall, lanky Necromorphs formed from a single corpse, capable of splitting into multiple independent segments upon severe damage. Each segment, resembling a limb or head, attacks autonomously with slashing or strangling movements. Dividers emit haunting, whale-like vocalizations and move with erratic, jerky motions. They are highly durable, requiring dismemberment of all segments to neutralize. Enhanced Dividers have blackened tissue and greater resilience, often encountered in confined spaces.

16. #16Twitcherselective

    Keys: twitchers, twitcher, Twitcher, Twitchers

    Twitchers are Necromorphs formed from EarthGov marines equipped with Stasis modules in their RIG suits.

    Corruption is a pervasive Necromorph biomass that spreads across surfaces, forming a fleshy, tumorous growth. It covers walls, floors, and ceilings, particularly in heavily infested areas of the USG Ishimura, creating hazardous environments. Corruption can spawn Pods or serve as a medium for other Necromorphs, like Guardians, to anchor. It emits a sickly yellow-green glow and squelching sounds, thriving in warm, moist conditions. The biomass is linked to Marker signals and regresses if the Marker is destroyed.

20. #20Marker

    Keys: Marker, marker, Markers, markers, Red Marker, Black Marker

    Markers are extraterrestrial artifacts that emit a signal inducing dementia, hallucinations, and Necromorph infection in humans. The Red Marker, central to the USG Ishimura’s outbreak, was discovered on Aegis VII and brought aboard, triggering the Necromorph infestation. Markers are double-helix structures with glowing red symbols, capable of reanimating dead tissue and controlling Necromorphs via a carrier wave. They drive survivors to worship or obsession, often linked to Unitology, and aim to initiate Convergence to form Brethren Moons. Destroying a Marker halts its influence, causing Necromorphs to dissolve.

21. #21Unitologyselective

    Keys: Unitology, unitology, Unitologist, unitologists, unitologist, Church of Unitology, Unitologists

    Unitology is a religion founded in 2215 following the public revelation of the Black Marker discovered in the Chicxulub crater on Earth. It teaches that Markers are divine artifacts containing the secrets of human origins and promising eternal life through unity after death. Followers believe humanity was created by an extraterrestrial intelligence and that death leads to Convergence, where bodies and souls intertwine into a single divine entity, achieving oneness. Rituals include meditation before Marker replicas, preservation of bodies intact for rebirth, and chants such as 'One Mind, One Soul, One Flesh.' The church hierarchy requires financial contributions for advancement and conducts screenings and cleansings. On the USG Ishimura, many crew members including Captain Benjamin Mathius were devout Unitologists, influencing the decision to retrieve the Red Marker from Aegis VII and contributing to sabotage, suicides, and acceptance of the Necromorph infection as part of divine rebirth.

22. #22Red Markerconstantselective

    Keys: marker 3a, The Marker, red marker, the Marker, Red Marker, Marker 3A

    The Red Marker, designated Marker 3A, is a reverse-engineered copy of ancient Black Markers, featuring a double-helix structure with a distinctive red hue. It was unearthed during illegal planet-crack mining operations on Aegis VII by the CEC colony in 2508. The Marker emits a signal that induces dementia, hallucinations, paranoia, and violence in most humans, while imprinting replication instructions in compatible minds. It reanimates dead tissue into Necromorphs sustained by its carrier wave and creates zones of dormancy around itself. Placed on a pedestal to amplify its signal, it manipulated individuals to facilitate its purposes, triggering the Necromorph outbreak on the colony and the USG Ishimura after retrieval aboard the ship.

23. #23Aegis VII

    Keys: Aegis VII Colony, Aegis 7, aegis 7, aegis vii, the colony, The Colony, Aegis VII

    Aegis VII is a remote rocky planet with high winds, dust storms, mountainous terrain, ravines, and a thin but breathable atmosphere. Illegal CEC mining operations established a colony to extract minerals, accidentally unearthing the Red Marker in 2508. Exposure to the Marker's signal caused insomnia, hallucinations, violence, suicides, and murders among colonists. A week after the Marker's removal to the USG Ishimura, a blackout and full Necromorph outbreak devastated the colony. Survivors attempted escape via shuttles, but crashes stranded many. Planet-cracking caused a massive rock chunk to fall, cracking the planet, exposing magma, and rendering it unstable. Key areas include the colony settlement, shuttle bay, and the Marker's pedestal site.

24. #24Convergence

    Keys: convergence, the convergence, Convergence, The Convergence

    Convergence is the final stage of the Necromorph infection cycle, where sufficient biomass gathered by Necromorphs unites into a single divine entity, achieving oneness of mind, soul, and flesh. Unitology views it as a rapturous event granting eternal life and transcendence. Markers drive this process by manipulating hosts to gather corpses and facilitate the unification.

25. #25Outbreakselective

    Keys: Outbreak, Necromorph outbreak, necromorph outbreak, outbreak, the outbreak, The Outbreak

    The Necromorph outbreak began on the Aegis VII colony after the Red Marker was unearthed during mining operations. The signal caused widespread dementia, violence, and suicides. A week after the Marker was retrieved aboard the USG Ishimura, a colony power outage triggered full infection. Miner Colin Barrow found his wife Jennifer Barrow dead by suicide, loaded her body into a shuttle with an unnoticed Infector aboard. The Infector reanimated Jennifer's corpse into a Slasher, which killed Colin during flight, causing the shuttle to crash into the Ishimura's hangar bay. The infection rapidly spread from the crash site through vents and reanimation of corpses, overwhelming the ship and leading to mass transformation of the crew.
