a unique variant of the stalker, ripped apart from the rat king acting as a separate unit. With a skull split apart and distorted like a clicker, throwable acid pods like a bloater, fungal-plated armor and the nimble-speed, agility and overall behavior of a stalker.
From a design perspective, I really appreciate the clickers (basically any of the infected); they have a creepy appearance and the eerie noise they make adds to the atmosphere. Additionally, I admire the originality of the Clickers as they are unique to The Last of Us universe.
However, from the player's standpoint, I hate them. I find them quite annoying to deal with.
The last of Us does chekov's gun so well and it pains me that nobody talks about how often the show uses this tool and how well the show uses this tool too

can you imagine joel’s emotional whiplash? he’s laying there shivering, preparing himself to die alone. only to have ellie run back to him, holding his hand and comforting him. the way he stopped shivering??? like for a moment he’s thinking it’s going to be alright. and then ellie pulls out that dusty ass unsterile needle and thread??? the look in that man’s eyes??? that was pure: “oh yeah no i’m gonna fucking die”
People who have been infected will enter this stage within two days, with increased irritability and hostility towards others being key symptoms. Their skin is pale, mottled, and covered in lesions, and their hair has begun to thin and fall out.
Since the eyes are first targeted by the fungus, runners have poor eyesight, but maintain most of their human characteristics. For example, their moans are still human, just like their overall appearance. They are notably fast and agile.
