Ripper

Rippers, also known as The Corrupted are the converted victims within Wrath that have succumbed to Rev's influence. A majority of their numbers consist of Verloren, but those who enter/are pulled into Wrath can also be turned into Rippers. Upon an outside visitor's transformation, their body's condition in the real world will start degrading rapidly unless treated. If left alone, their body will die, and return from both Wrath and their condition will be impossible, with their consciousness completely absorbed and now a part of Wrath.
== Appearance ==
Rippers greatly resemble Revenants, more specifically the Ghouls. Unlike Ghouls, Rippers generally have more varied mutations and damage all across their body. While the general human form remains, they will typically become bloody with red glowing veins. Over time, it seems their faces become more and more distorted, turning from one resembling a Ghoul (glowing red eyes and the trademark Glasgow smile) into nothing more than a mass of teeth spread across the face. Some Rippers appear to have barbed wire and/or bone shard sticking through various places on their body, most commonly the limbs and torso. Much like the Headless, some Rippers can appear to have half or even their entire head missing. It's not known why this occurs, though it might have something to do with there no longer being a physical body for them to return to and with their consciousness being absorbed into Wrath. Their apparel is usually very damaged, though recently transformed are more intact overall.
== Behavior ==
Rippers earn their name from their violent and brutal nature towards any intruders or uninfected beings within Wrath, noted for their tendency to quite literally tear their prey apart limb from limb, maul them with their fists or through a weapon, or even just crushing their skull. While they are commonly seen working in large groups to overwhelm their enemies, they seem to only care for their own survival and have no qualms about murdering their own. While their mentality has been warped beyond reasoning, they seem to retain some degree of intelligence, as they will pick up any weapon they can find and use it, take cover, or even block their weak spots. They'll even lay out traps, though they are prone to triggering them by accident. They'll even use what little intelligence they have to solve complex issues that allow them to kill their target. Those with considerable damage to their head seem to lose this intelligence and become more chaotic and animalistic in their behaviors. 
Rippers mostly lose the ability to speak, though recently afflicted can be heard repeating sentences over and over. Rippers with more mutilated faces only make snarling noises, and will typically roar when spotting prey.
