Waste Lurker (Timeless)

The Waste Lurker is a Far Future ennemy, encountered exclusively in certain levels. He is quite difformous, and will try to chase and attack you with his weathered body

Appearance and origins
He has the appearance of a regular zombie, but with large kinds of tumors and cancerous growths all over his body, making him heavier and have troubles to function normally. Some of these growths look like some kind of blueish blisters, and will pop if they get shot, and these individuals will often have some kind of slightly blue teint right after they emerge from an intoxicated area. They are based on the possibility of cancerous growths on undead targets, since most humans die before reaching big tumors like these

Strategies
Despite his quite unusual appearance, not only he isn't toxic, but he also is nothing more than a bag of HP. He doesn't hit that hard, is slower than a normal zombies and has less HP than a Conehead, making this cancerous meatbag nothing more than an annoying ennemies. Their big hitboxes makes them especially weak against Laser Rifles, but they aren't considered as armored targets, making Plasma Blasters useless. The only way for them to really be efficient is usually when they start crawling and climbing to get to you, sometimes appearing in your back and inflicting a bit of damage. If they are able to block you in a corner, you should try shooting their blisters as this will stun them a bit and allow you to shove them out of the way and go freely. Bursting them can also be a good choice ig you are using a weak but quick weapon, as each blister popped will deal 350 damage to him

Trivia

 * Despite being radioactive, he won't inflict any toxic damage to players
 * It is however stated by characters that they are sensible to the radiations but will probably die and get brought back before they start developping tumors
 * His blue color when he rises is due to the Cherenkov radiation, which is often depicted as green despite actually being blue
