Cadaver

The Cadaver is a grotesque monster that appears in the survival-horror game The Evil Within. Appearing only in the DLC missions The Assignment and The Consequence, these beasts are essentially Haunted that have been "recycled". They may represent Ruvik's animosity towards others, or maybe even his stubborn refusal to die even after his supposed destruction at the end of the main game.

Overview
Cadavers are the recycled remnants of the Haunted and so look partially similar to their previous forms, but their bodies have been reconfigured into a quadrupedal shape and are covered in glowing swellings and extending bone spikes.

Cadavers are savage hunters that will attack both the player and even other enemies. They are blind, so they rely on sound to detect prey. The swellings on their bodies change colour depending on their moods: when white, the creatures are calm and unaware of the presence of any other creatures, but the swellings turn yellow if the Cadaver is alerted by any loud noise. The swellings turn red when the Cadaver has detected the player and it will charge. When it closes in on the player, the Cadaver will explode, killing itself and the player.
