Line 195:
{{quote|Played by: Kevin Michael Richardson}}
 
An engineer and Unitologist who is cut from a much calmer cloth than his fellow worshippersworshipers.
 
* [[Badass]]
Line 269:
** To the point that the developers put an audiolog {{spoiler|on his body, in the extremely likely event that the player would want to abuse his corpse.}}
* [[Madness Mantra]]: The steps.
* [[Never My Fault]]: His [[Fatal Flaw]]. As ''[[Dead Space: Aftermath|Dead Space Aftermath]]'' showed, he was responsible for the death of several people after breaking a seal on a door which let a necromorphNecromorph slaughter a crew of workers. Driven insane by it, he brutally murders his wife, Alexis, and their son, by his own hands. By refusing to accept responsibility for his actions, the Marker slowly drives him crazy in ''2'', {{spoiler|to the point he [[Face Heel Turn|starts attacking Isaac and Ellie]], forcing Isaac to kill him in self-defense}}.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Starts out fairly coherent and helpful, and gradually degenerates through the course of the game as the Marker eats away at his mind.
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: To Issac. Issac and Stross were both brought to the same colony and suffer from similar delusions under the Marker's influence. However, Issac accepts his girlfriend's death and stays sane, while Stross let's his guilt consume him.
Line 285:
* [[Action Survivor]]: One of very few characters to survive a ''Dead Space'' game.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Ellie's apparently modeled after her voice actress Sonita Henry, who's mixed-race.
* [[Badass Normal]]: No armourarmor, no big guns, no combat training and no superpowers - just one very tough lady.
** She also qualifies for [[Genius Bruiser]]: when you first meet her, she's fighting off Necromorphs. No big deal, right? Except she's ''knows'' they can rip her apart, and is safely taking them apart from behind a security fence. No one else thought to do this in the chaos of the outbreak.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]
Line 432:
* [[Bullet Time]]: Thanks to the stasis modules fused with their flesh.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Can be killed in one shot with the best weapons... if you can hit them.
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Even more so than most of the others as due to the violent fuionfusion between the flesh and the statisstatus module their faces are completely static.
* [[Super Speed]]
 
Line 464:
This type of Necromorph only appears in one chapter and whose only form of attack is slowly poisoning the air. They are often supported by more combat-oriented Necromorphs.
 
* [[Body Horror]]/[[Uncanny Valley]]: While completely without natural weapons or defencesdefenses - they don't even move and you have to be trying pretty hard to get killed by one - they are still disturbing in how vulnerable and ''human'' they look, curled up on the ground. They also sound like a human struggling for breath.
* [[Deadly Gas]]: Its only form of attack. Standing next to one too long will suffocate Isaac.
* [[Vader Breath]]: Easily located by their loud, well, ''wheezing'' gasps for air.
Line 484:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: They, well, ''puke'' on you.
* [[Hollywood Acid]]: Does a lot of damage.
* [[Poison Is Corrosive]]: The Puker spits highly acidic bile at its enemies, reminiscent of [[Left 4 Dead|The Spitter]]. While it's sizzling any Human player's armor, he's unable to run. In MultiplayerMulti-player, this can range from annoying (on the objective carrier, who can't run anyway) to lethal (human players rushing toward an escape point).
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]
 
Line 527:
=== Flyer ===
 
A small weak necromorphNecromorph that, like its name implies, flies around and tries to attack with its tail. Only appears in [[Dead Space: Extraction|Dead Space Extraction]].
 
=== Grabber ===
 
A necromorphNecromorph that can extend its neck to attack from a distance. Encountered only in [[Dead Space: Extraction|Dead Space Extraction]], though it appears in [[Dead Space: Aftermath|Dead Space Aftermath]].
 
=== Nest ===
 
A powerful necromorphNecromorph that is very similar to a Guardian, in fact its strongly implied that it is the female version of a Guardian.
 
== Boss Necromorphs in ''Dead Space 1'' ==
Line 596:
* [[Lord British Postulate]]: You're supposed to just run away from the [[Implacable Man|Ubermorph]] and continue on to the final boss, yet players have found that it can be killed permanently by {{spoiler|pushing it into a fan in the last room it appears in}}. This is probably a glitch; it isn't indicated anywhere in the game that you can kill it like this, it doesn't appear after this anyway, and it disappears instantly upon touching the fan instead of playing a death animation.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: The Ubermorph cannot be destroyed -- like The Hunter, its limbs will simply regenerate ad infinitum. {{spoiler|However, it CAN be killed by luring it near a fan close to the end of Chapter 15 and using the Force Gun to push it in, even if it is arguably unnecessary.}}
** {{spoiler|Or you can just run up further and destroy the circuits to permenantlypermanently cut him off.}}
* [[Palette Swap]]: He is literally the Hunter with a different [[Incredibly Lame Pun|skin]]. He even shares the death animation with the Hunter.
* [[Super-Persistent Predator]]: He just ''loves'' to ruin your day. Also serves as a [[Continuity Nod]], mimicking ''DS1'''s Hunter.
