Angler

Rarely appearing outside of areas on the water's edge, these cunning and powerful aquatic Shamblers are the main threat towards seafaring survivors. Whilst not clumsy, they often prefer a stealthy, submarine approach when stalking prey, but aren’t necessarily the best at this due to their bulk. Instead, they are much more able to stand alone in a straight fight. Their main claws function equally well as bludgeons or blades, and their auxiliary limbs can perform a multitude of features in and out of combat, from helping them to navigate flooded sewers to holding a struggling enemy in place whilst their anglerfish-like jaws work their magic. In fact, they get their name from their tendency to hide in wait, staying out of sight around valuable loot such as weapons or ammo, until the perfect moment for one of their barbed limbs to skewer an unsuspecting target. They are an ever-present hazard for river boats, fishermen and faction navies alike - some trading outposts even award bounties on the heads of Anglers.
