Infected

The Infected are several types of enemies from New Nestor, created when Butcher Labs' experiment went horribly, horribly wrong and created the Amanita pestilens fungus, which proceeded to infect numerous people and animals.
== Known Types ==
=== Craig ===
Main article: Craig
A one-of-a-kind Infected birthed from a seemingly-pregnant husk, later adopted by Rachel Scott.
=== Husk ===
Main Article: Husk
The most common type of infected, Husks are also the second weakest, though relying on numbers to overwhelm their prey. They are unintelligent, primal creatures, seeking to infect humans to make more of themselves.
=== Infector ===
Main Article: Infector
Not to be confused with the similarly named Injector.
A form of Infected covered in strange pustules that when popped, spreads a miasma of spores that infects all non-infected people around it. Sometimes, these pustules have destructive force, as demonstrated when the Sunken Clam went down.
=== Injector ===
Main Article: Injector
Not to be confused with the similarly named Infector.
A form of Infected armed with needlelike appendages at the end of one of its arms, filled with a dangerous toxin that infects and turns anyone stabbed. This venom can be prevented if the limb or appendage that was injected is severed before the toxin enters the rest of the bloodstream. If the torso or head are injected, the person cannot be recovered.
=== Lurker ===
Lurkers are an ambush predator. Resembling the common husk, Lurkers pretend to be the corpses of deceased husks, and usually have heavily decomposed legs. Lurkers attack by grabbing the legs of human victims, often biting them or bringing them down to the ground in order to bite them.
Lurkers only appeared in Vladimir and Rose's backstory and were thankfully avoided by the party during their trek through the sewers to reach the Golden Grin Casino.
=== Smasher ===
Main Article: Smasher
A massive Infected unit, incredibly bulky and incredibly strong. Incredibly lethal in quarters close and long, the Smasher has the second-highest potential for destruction, only beaten by the Treant.
=== Treant ===
Main article: Treant
A one-of-a-kind Infected unit, created by Dr. Noah Butcher's cure going wrong and transforming him into it. It is the size of a three story building, and hits as hard as a semi truck. It took an army to kill it.
=== Wailer ===
Main Article: Wailer
A tall, lanky Infected type that screams when threatened, attracting the rest of the horde to its position. Incredibly sensitive to sound, at the cost of its sense of smell, even the lightest peep will set the Wailer into a frenzy. Its bones are brittle, making them easy prey if snuck upon.
Wailers only appeared in Vladimir and Rose's backstory and in Roger Lombardi's solo session.
== Trivia ==
* The Infected were spawned from a variant of the real-life cordyceps fungus that controls the minds of ants.
