Bloodstalkers are carnivorous creatures that have a resemblance to spiders along with aggressive temperaments that reside within the Swamp Biome of the Genesis Simulation

These creatures share a similarity with spiders but have a few improvements such as limbs that can swipe with extreme speed to rend flesh along with appendages that act as an organic interface with its partner.

In the wild, Bloodstalkers are patient hunters that stay above the treeline while observing potential prey and once they find a victim they can snatch with their web, they pull them up to their location to feed on the helpless victim.

The Bloodstalker will not miss out on the opportunity of an easy meal of humans, being almost invisible in the canopy while humans barely stand a chance once grabbed by the creature.

Once tamed, this creature shares a symbiotic relationship with its owner which is formed by it latching to the survivor so that they can perform the actions that the survivor has in mind as well as give them improved senses.

Abilities

1) Climb

The natural structure of the Bloodstalker’s body allows it to climb on surfaces just like a spider could, being able to freely move wherever it wants to and even hang from different surfaces.

Moving up to a surface that cannot be scaled by other creatures will cause the Bloodstalker to begin climbing it.

2) Web Pull

Creatures and survivors may be targeted when highlighted with a purple color, signifying that they can be pulled.

Using the primary fire button will cause the Bloodstalker to shoot out a straight web that will catch the target, preventing it from moving away.

The Bloodstalker may then reel in the target and will eventually begin attacking it when it has been pulled to its location.

Dismounting the Bloodstalker while it is holding on to a target will allow you to remove freely as it continues to attack the target.
