#6 – Sick Dog
Continuing off the inspiration behind designs 3-5. This is a feral canine that was not immune to the disease. Being a smaller animal, it’s almost completely overpowered and transformed. It is far along in its development as it resides close to the site of the alien’s first arrival.
It often trips over its weakening paws, and drools consistently. If a pool of sticky ‘water’ is discovered, one of these guys is more than likely just around the corner. The saliva is not acidic, but it does carry the disease and has a horrific smell.
This would be a common but easily overpowered enemy minion of sorts.
