Stalker

You won’t notice her until she gets close — and hits you in the back.

Description

Stalker is a weak specimen that appears on every wave except the first. Its key advantage is the ability to become invisible, letting it sneak up on inattentive players.

Behavior

• Moves fairly quickly
• Invisible until it attacks
• Scratches with claws

Combat tactics

You can often detect a Stalker by sound. Also, even when invisible, attentive players may spot its silhouette.

Commandos can see Stalkers from a certain distance, and killing them is required for leveling that perk.

Background

Horzine Biotech tried to create an agent that could infiltrate enemy lines unnoticed and extract needed information. The first DNA source used to create Stalkers was the daughter of Kevin Clamely — the head of the company and the future Patriarch.
