Crawler

The Splicer model Crawler is specific to Spider Splicers in BioShock 2. The Spider Splicers in the first game were known for their uncanny movements and agility, but this model's hideously deformed appearance makes him one of the most truly frightening Splicers in Rapture.
His physical behavior seems more animalistic than other Splicers as he hunches over when walking and crawls about on all fours at times, thus the nickname Crawler.
==Personality==
Crawler seems to suffer more, both mentally and physically, than any other type of Splicer. He suffers from insomnia, delusions and many other problems, probably caused by splicing. Because of this, it seems he has sought a myriad of treatments from Sofia Lamb, as he talks about many of them including the more dangerous electroshock therapy. It could be inferred that he had to undergo hypnotism with her as well; he speaks normally and calmly while under the Hypnotize Plasmid as if talking to her, and he will also follow instructions that Subject Delta hasn't given to him, implying that he’s been given the same instructions previously. Judging by some of his quotes, Crawler thinks that Delta and other enemies are responsible for the voices inside of his head, and that killing them is the only effective means of putting an end to the torture.

==Appearance==
Crawler is the most inhuman-looking Splicer in not only BioShock 2, but all BioShock games. He has a bald, misshapen head , a bulging eye, long bony limbs, claw-like fingers, and four toes. His teeth are small and pointy, and spaced far apart in his gums. His clothes are tattered and worn-down, especially at the ends of the sleeves and shorts, likely due to the act of crawling across many surfaces. Crawler can wear the Blue Morpho Butterfly pin, and in Minerva's Den many wear glasses with the suit variation. They also have exposed ribs, likely due to skin deterioration and starvation. Their arms are thin and muscular; possibly from them crawling on the ceiling, exercising their biceps. Their legs also look rather robust as well, likely from the same reason as the arms. 
Model 1: The primary model wears the least amount of clothing, as it has been greatly damaged over time. He wears loose fitting brown trousers supported by suspenders, the legs torn to above his knees. His grubby vest has also been torn to above his stomach, and is covered in holes. He wears dark green socks with garters over his mutated feet.
Model 2: This model is dressed a lot better than his counterpart, though still in a rough state. He wears a black suit, the sleeves of which have been worn down and various holes cover the legs and arms. His grey shirt is neatly buttoned and his cummerbund is of matching color, he even has a gold pocket watch. The ankle of his trousers appear to have been taped to tighten them, and he has rope tied around his right wrist. He wears black fingerless gloves and a Broken-Chain symbol adorns the back of his suit jacket.
Model 3: This model is dressed exactly like Model 2, except his suit is light brown. He wears a white shirt with a cummerbund a slightly lighter brown than his suit.
Model 4: This model is also dressed like Model 2, though he sports a cream suit with a matching cummerbund. His shirt is white.

==Behind the Scenes==
*The Crawler's voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, also provided the voice for Dr. P. Pettifog in BioShock Infinite.
*At the September 2011 Sac Anime convention, Yuri Lowenthal mentioned that the developers of BioShock 2 originally intended for the Crawler to have an Appalachian accent, but that direction didn't seem to work, and it took a good four hours of looking over the concept art and revising his voice until he developed a good sense of the character being more insane.
** At the 2013 Phoenix Comicon, Lowenthal said that the role involved two days of voice recording and two rest days in between. However, anticipating that he would miss one of the days, Lowenthal convinced the director through his agent to let him record the dialogue in one session. While the session was vocally-stressful, Lowenthal believes that his enjoyment of the role helped him finish it. However, he could not speak for a week afterwards.Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt at Phoenix Comicon 2013 on Transmatrix's Youtube channel
*The Broken-Chain symbol on the second skin of the Crawler's suit is identical to the one on the sleeve of the removed Survivor model.
*A second model for the Crawler to the one used in game exists in the game's files. It uses two textures at once, similar to the major characters' models. The Crawler's clothes are not torn in this model, and he has a second mouth in the back of his head, as seen in concept art.
