Insane Cancer
Description:
The name Insane Cancer is derrived from its outward appearance being suggestive of a cancerous mass. They are almost completely covered with fatty, cancerous-looking bulbous flesh, with pus-like excrements oozing from open sores. Their heads aren't very distinct, being small bulbs with a wound-like opening as their only feature.
Method of Attack:
They attack by swinging their fat, claw-tipped arms and throwing themselves on top of characters. Although they usually move slowly, shifting their weight back and forth, they will sometimes run towards the characters and knock them down with a very surprising speed.
Normally, it's best to avoid these monsters and look for a safe way around them, however, their size may block the path and force the player to fight them. If this happens, the Shotgun or a strong and quick melee weapon will be very useful. They are usually found laying down or sleeping, and this is how they regenerate their health. It's also the time you can only do minimal damage to them. They will "deflate" after dying, which is the only way to make sure they are dead and not just resting.
Symbolism:
Insane Cancers may represent the town's very corruption, like an evil cancer spreading throughout the world. It is also a manifestation of God in Heather's womb, slowly growing like a disease and coming back after apparently being killed. It can also represent Alessa Gillespie's re-emergent feelings about herself, that she is a cancer that won't stay dead. These feelings are also reflected in the message left behind by the Memory of Alessa.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Hazel Street Station
• The Chapel
• Hilltop Center
