Sniffer

Sniffers are a species of undead Pyros TF2 Monsters created by YouTube user Blackimus. In-universe, they were created by Veerus' Stand.
==Appearance==
Sniffers appear as either RED or BLU zombiefied Pyros wearing The Fume Filtrater and the Voodoo-Cursed Pyro Soul.
Recently created Sniffers do not show signs of rot and decay from their bodies, making recognition even more difficult from a distance. Their posture and movements are erratic, twitchy and animalistic, especially when provoked.
==Personality and Behavior==
The Sniffers seem devoid of emotion, wandering almost aimlessly in search for prey. The only thing they are responsive to outside of their usual behavior are orders from their master Veerus, or screams from their kind or Ferals. If Distorted were to spot ennemies, the Sniffers will join them but are unable to understand their language. 
==Powers and Abilities==
Sniffers do not possess many worthwhile abilities, functioning more as cannon fodder for their master. They are almost completely blind and partially deaf, guiding themselves with echolocation originating from their voices and footsteps. However, their strength lies in their numbers and tracking ability.
Sniffers can only sense the presence of prey when disturbed by unusual noises such as voices, gunfire and loud bangs; or if the prey is showing signs of emotion through a certain threshold, which will be detectable through its very sensitive sense of smell, hence their namesake.
If someone is expressing emotions like anger; fear; sadness or happiness, these will be secreted from their bodies as a form of pheromones, which will then be detected by Sniffers.
==Faults and Weaknesses==
*If the victim controls their emotions entirely and does not raise suspicion through loud noises, a Sniffer will be completely oblivious of their whereabouts, giving a chance to either escape or kill it.
*Sniffers lacks any means of ranged combat.
*Sniffers are not resilient and can be killed rather easily by powerful weaponry through loud or silent means, although it is ill-advised to use loud weaponry when in the vicinity of a group of Sniffers, as their fragile appearance can cause naïve mercenaries to underestimate their overwhelming strength and speed in numbers. Silenced weaponry however, can make trivial work of Sniffers from a distance, or up close with certain kinds of melee weapons.
==Trivia==
*Their overall behavior and sound design is inspired by the Feral Ghouls from the Fallout series.
