**Appearance**

```

>
>  The "Nocturns" exhibit an intriguing and terrifying appearance. Their bodies are encased in a distinctive organic armor, resembling a resilient shell that provides substantial protection against various calibers of ammunition. Their mouths have undergone a grotesque transformation, evolving into menacing mandibles that hint at their carnivorous nature. The same sturdy shell extends to their hands, where it terminates in razor-sharp claws of an extraordinary sharpness. These claws are more than capable of tearing through flesh and bone with chilling ease, And even capable of tearing through thin metal. making them formidable and lethal adversaries. The "Nocturns" embody a nightmarish fusion of bio-mechanical adaptations that grant them both heightened survival and predatory prowess.

**Origin**

```

>
>  The origins of the "Nocturns" can be traced back to densely populated regions, as well as the most shadowy and confined spaces, such as bustling metros, fortified apartments, and the labyrinthine depths of urban sewers. These creatures were among the earliest manifestations of abnormal mutants, emerging when the chaos of the infection was still in its infancy. Over time, they have retained their position as some of the most formidable and menacing mutants in existence. Their inception within crowded and dimly lit environments has contributed to their distinct predatory adaptations, making them a constant and haunting presence within the darkest corners of once-thriving cities.
