Scout

“After the Twilight sank during the Starfall, these Deviants—adorned in ostentatious winter clothing—began crawling ashore from the icy seawater.”

Characteristics

With marine radars in place of their heads, the Scout Elite Deviant is capable of unleashing explosive electromagnetic pulses and piercing sound waves. These abilities disrupt their victims’ nervous systems, inducing motor dysfunction and immense mental agony.

Behavior

Like their basic counterparts, Scouts are parasitized by Living Ice—sentient Chaosium crystals driven by an extraordinary will to survive. These creatures can only be permanently defeated through exposure to high temperatures or by being knocked down a second time. Interestingly, Scouts have a notable connection to Weather Vane Elite Deviants, as they are rarely encountered without one nearby.

AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS

  • Electromagnetic Pulses: Generates seeking orbs that home in on foes, detonating on impact.

  • Snowballs: Forms and hurls frosty projectiles at targets.

  • Physical Attacks: Uses their icy limbs to bash enemies in close range.

Weaknesses

To maximize damage, aim for the Scout’s radar head. Despite some research claiming that exposure to high temperatures can prevent the Living Ice regeneration, testing with Molotovs has shown no evidence of supporting this theory.
