Walrider

Walriders (often spelled as WALRIDERS) are a further mutation/evolution of the standard Revenant entity spurred on by Revenant's Devil Horns.
== Etymology ==
The name Walrider is an alternate name of the Alp (plural: Alpe or Alpen), which is a creature from German folklore most well-known for it's shapeshifting abilities.
== Biology/Mutations ==
Walriders most commonly resemble Ghouls with similar shaped horns to Rev, along with more pronounced teeth. Though theoretically any type of Revenant can be turned into a Walrider or altered in some way that is similar to the manner.
Most Walriders start out with bright red skin akin to the color of flesh, with possible exposed bone throughout. A feature they all share are horns made out of dark organic material resembling bone that glows red. While the number of horns can vary, Walriders always have at least two on top of their heads. Many Walriders, due to their nearly unkillable nature eventually mutate to grow a similar chitin-like dark armor that replaces their skin, which is far more durable and nearly impossible to penetrate with small arms fire.
Armor or no, the Walrider possesses an incredible level of regeneration. It is not quite on the same level as Verzerrt regeneration, but it still allows Walriders to quickly grow back limbs and rapidly recover and repair damage to their body. They seem to gain to ability to shift their form slightly as well, incurring mutations such as weaponizing their limbs or growing extra appendages or body parts not previously seen on their human or Revenant forms. These mutations can sometimes be influenced by their regeneration, replacing previous limbs with the altered limbs. While rarer, a Walrider in a fit of desperation can mutate their entire form in a few ways as a last ditch effort to exterminate their opponent before their end.
While Walriders can regenerate from many grievous wounds that humans could never recover from, including decapitation, complete brain destruction, along with destruction of one or several vital organs, they can't come back from everything. Instant sufficient damage such as destruction of a certain percentage or amount of the body (usually the upper half from the waist up) or immolation will kill the Walrider. If not possible, immobilization of the creature before burning the body will work as well.
While they act much like their previous selves in terms of behavior, they seem to gain a somewhat heighten level of intelligence and self-awareness. Though it's very possible that this is just due to Revenant's influence.
