Left 4 Dead Special Infected?

[Kororci]

We have the Hunter, Smoker, Boomer, Spitter, Charger, Jockey, Tank, Witch. If there could be ANY new infected what do you think they could be? They could be a variation of some of them like a tank that can pick you up and throw you. Or a combination like a pouncing witch (Lol) or something completely different. You make one. Give it a name, what does it look like? Does it work well with any other infected? What's its power? How big is it? Anything you want to add, add it! Hell draw a picture and post it if you can explain it. It could be a pwnage and kill everything in one hit or puny and kill the survivors slowly and painfully. Post what ever kind of crazy infected you'd like.

For me it'd have to be the Dragger or Drifter (Can't Decide). It is almost like the Wandering Witch but can be a male. It walks around with its long arms that touch the ground and it just stares ahead of where its walking. It makes no sound like the hunter until it notices a survivor then it makes a grumbling growling sound similar to a tank a charger or a witch. If the survivors don't kill him, he will emit a loud scream alerting all infected in the area so it can be a big horde or a small horde. He will then run at you and take his long arms and drags you behind him as far as he can going though obstacles and what not doing 2 damage while dragging. Once the other survivors cant see him he tosses the survivor as far as he can like a catapult doing anywhere from 5 to 100 damage depending on where he is and where your thrown. He will then run off lowering his head and runs at a sprint to a safe distance to then drift again.

He is the size of a normal infected male and no female drifters have been seen so far. He wears a gray T-Shirt and black jeans with black converse. While dragging a survivor he gets covered with blood . His skin is gray pigmented and he has no boils or bumps like some of the other infected.

Well theres mine! Hope you enjoyed!

Howler. One shot kill or it will summon the horde. Also short term stun attack at close range.

i liked the special infected that valve left out of the game, the guy in a straightjacket sitting in one place, if you alert him he runs off screaming calling hordes til u kill him

 

[Kororci]

Wow i refreshed the page almost right after i made this and 2 posts Oh and cool to both of you. like the howler and the screamer was a shame they took it out

How about something like a siamese twin infected.
tall as the smoker with a "brother" growing out from its stomach or side.
It can leap distances like the hunter but it can crawl on any surface like a spider.
Or it follows around hordes and can shoot out a webbing made of thick mucus which holders players in place until they melee out of it?

 

[Kororci]

Oh cool that'd be creepy though
"Hey Im healing you go ahead and kill some of the idle zombies"
"Ok sure *step step step* Aha zombehs die!!!- *Web mucus around him* O_O WTF?!?!!?!? HOLY CRAP!?!? How do i get out T_T *suffocation death*"
... >_> XDXD

The thing that spontaneously mutates into a horrid eldritch abomination, naturally.

Or maybe something called a shrieker (a play on Tremors) that is blind but when it hears the survivors getting near, it will howl and cause the survivors to get dizzy and you can't control them for about 20 seconds.
It could look like a goth/ punk or something or one of those persons with thousands of piercings all over their bodies

The Hider, a small childlike infected, it has no attack power itself, but it jumps on the backs of other special infected (from Witches & Boomers to Tanks) and cloaks them till they attack, but it also cant remove itself from the infected once latched on so it dies when its host dies.

It may also drain the health of the infected its on to balance it.

Or call it a packer and make it travel in small groups that act as mini hunters
And maybe if you left only one alive, it could escape and join up with other packers to attack later

Infecter, if it bites or scratches you a slow health degeneration starts until you find an antidote

That's actually a really good idea...

could call it a Leecher

I like, i did think my name sucked a little

the smotherer, it looks like a person but instead of hands it has like mouths i guess when it grabs a survivor it smothers them with its hand/mouth things when smothered a survivor cant screem (like when they get pinned by a hunter), the smotherer makes a quiet chuckling noise when it smothers someone but nothing else

imagine that your walking round the streets and you turn around and suddenly your partners not there you back track to find them and sudenly! you find them being smother by a thing lol this one would have teams really looking after each other, also to avoid voice chat giving it away the smotherer would stop voicechat being active while it smothers

obviously this is a very dangerous infected so to balence it out the smotherer only has 80 health, also the survivor would make a "mmm mmm mmmmm" noise while being smothered, but not to loud

The Thief - jumps on a survivor, takes an item they're carrying, tries to run off somewhere that survivors can't go, drops the item when he dies. Would be similar to the Jockey in size and stats. In fact, you could add this ability to the Jockey, perhaps, giving him the option of riding the survivor or jumping off with his medkit/special ammo/pills/adrenaline.

 

[darkfire613]

The Screamer. It's just a torso and head (cut off at the waist). When it sees you, it starts screaming, alerting the horde, and crawls towards you. It can claw you and do a little damage, but its main goal is to call other zombies to you. It will start to make a kind of whiny dog sound when you get kind of near it, but before you set it off, so you have a chance to find and shoot it.

 

[BNguyen]

Another idea came to me, sort of a thing from CB's Jericho
have infected that have mutilated bodies, eg. they've grafted onto themselves blades or other metal objects
I guess they were previously part of some cult thing and when you get near, they start chuckling to themselves
something like the witch but if you get within 20 feet of them, they will run at you like a charger and blugeon you to death
could look like the guy in a straight jacket, but he sits in a corner and his sleeves hide his weapons

 

[cowwithbeans]

An infected capable of mind controlling a survivor, turning them on the others. Smaller than a jockey, maybe, or just harder to kill.

 

[Danpascooch]

A Putrifierr.

It is like the clowns, but in addition to attracting hordes, all zombies within a certain distance from it are infected with it's putrid gas that causes them to have red eyes (ala Dead Rising) and do more damage, and have more health.
