Workers
Workers are the most commonly encountered creatures that roam around the bio-engineered ruins of Scorn.
Appearance
The Workers are organic ant-like creatures that walks on four legs that end with three stubby fingers/toes.
Behavior
Many of these creatures can be found acting inert, scaling corridors/passageways or even waiting behind the confines of closed doors. Once seen, they typically become hostile towards the player. When attacking, the creatures tend to either charge towards the player or fire a stream of green liquid from the cavity in their chests. If they manage to stumble close enough to the player, they will either inflict damage via a bite or grapple them before attacking with a red flagellum from their chest cavity.
They have been shown to utilize some tactics when fighting. In certain areas, the creatures would remain inert, often among dead members of their species, and would wake up once another creature becomes aggravated at the player's presence. One Worker becomes hostile when the player shoots a separate sickly looking Worker.
Strategy
Usually, it will only take two shots to the head from the bio-engineered pistol to take one out, or five hits with the melee. However, they been known to pose a much greater threat in numbers, typically swarming the player if ever given the opportunity.
Habitat
The biological ruin that covers the game area is a result of the creature. Among the larger piles, Worker corpses can be found. Additionally, chains of these creatures that hang in higher areas are secured to the wall by the red fleshy webs that can be found everywhere. It's unknown why these creatures produce that material.
Notes
- The Workers are featured in the pre-alpha 2017 demo.
- The artbook describes them as being essentially genetically identical to the other Crater Creatures in all ways but shape and size. It is described as having the same meat in different wrappings. Furthermore, the Workers and other Crater kin all emerged from the back of the Crater Queen, prying themselves free and inadvertently spreading the virus she carries across the organic architecture of the facility.
