Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Body Possession: The Walrider can invade the body of a target. This has only been done on humans. From there, it can manipulate the being it has invaded. This means that it can throw the target around like a ragdoll, slamming it into walls, or suspend the target in air (implied to be choking the target at the same time). It can also tear the target apart from the inside.
*Parasitism: The Walrider requires a host to survive. If its current host dies it will usually seek out their former host's killer and use them as their new host.
