Groaner
Description:
Groaners appear as hairless, demonic dogs with rotten brown skin and a very large set of jaws. They are also morbidly thin, making them appear starving or even dead as a result. One of the more common enemies, they are sensitive to sound and will react to a gunshot a character running nearby. They only appear in outdoor areas where the character is trying to move to a different building, and are easily avoided if precautions are taken.
Method of Attack:
Groaners attack any characters on sight, or as soon as they make enough noise to draw their attention. They move very rapidly and often sprint circles around their prey, jumping up to deliver a bite or lunging full force at any character. Due to their small size and agility, hitting them with a melee weapon can be challenging. As a result, firearms are the best method to dispose of them. However, not drawing their attention or avoiding them in the first place is preferable. Listen for panting, and the light tapping of claws on pavement.
Symbolism:
The image of a large dog, which Alessa Gillespie has a strong dislike of, is the basis for this creature. Alessa was commonly frightened by barking dogs as a child, and grew to fear them in general.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Cynophobia is the general fear of dogs.
• A traumatic associated with a canine.
Area:
• Housing District
• Business District
