It has a stomach, eyes, and Nests inside of it. The alien Hive Mind/Nexus Necromorph form.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 Armed Forces research teams would name the Nexus. They will charge at any prey found, using their sheer mass to topple them before ripping them apart with their clawed forelimbs.

Their skin is horribly rotten and the digits on their arms have decomposed into scythe-like claws.

As stated before, they are almost identical to their uninfected selves, but have their bellies burst open, which are used to spew their recombinated offspring at their prey. 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.īrutes are the most commonly encountered variants of these Necromorphs. They 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 them. These Necromorphs have three main attacks: charging towards the player, giving a powerful punch if the player gets too close and being able to burst out Crawlers made from the extinct alien hosts. In Dead Space 3, they replace Brutes and Tripods and are first encountered during Isaac Clarke'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 human-created Brutes in overall size, appearance and behavior.
