Their appearance resembles grotesque gorillas passively suggesting they are mutated from humans or apes. There are two varieties: common and black.

Librarian - Quasi-intelligent beasts, very dangerous.These once-humans have not only abandoned civilization, but have regressed to an animalistic state, and will attack their human cousins on sight. Humanimal - A humanoid mutant severely affected by decades of radiation, both in appearance and behavior.Giant Amoeba - A large explosive ball of protoplasm, which seeks out living creatures and explodes on contact.Demon - A giant bat-like creature found only on the surface.They are the results of (possibly deliberately engineered) mutations in humans, and are also known as " Homo Novus". Dark Ones - Very powerful species of sentient humanoids with telepathic abilities that attempt to communicate with Artyom.Corpse Eaters - Corpse Eaters are non-lethal scavenger mutants that feed on the corpses of all creatures, including members of their own species.Somewhat similar to the mythical Slavic utopiec/topielec (drowner) creatures. Błotniak - Semi-intelligent, humanoid, mutated creatures living in the Vistula, but also capable of breathing and movement on land.They might be a family of the librarians or a related species. Blind Ones - Giant gorilla-like mutants living in the abandoned research facility at Novosibirsk.Biomass - A very large mass of radioactive organic material found on top of the D6 reactor, acts as a boss-like creature.Bear - A bear that was affected by the radiation and grew to monstrous proportions, now a powerful boss-entity.Bat - A mutated, aggressive version of bats living in the ruins of Vladivostok.More information on each can be found on their respective page. This could explain that in a mere 20 years, almost all surviving species with high reproductive rates are completely mutated from the radiation.īelow is a list of all the noteworthy mutant species in the Metro. The majority of mutants are species that have high reproductive rates, a prime example being the numerous lurkers. Most mutants of the Metro are beings shaped and evolved to life in darkness, as this is essentially their world. While their behavior and movements are rather similar from encounter to encounter, scripted scenes keep gameplay fresh and exciting. Derivative from local fauna, the mutants of the surface world and the Metro often display above normal intelligence and, as a result, most species will travel and hunt in packs. Mutants of a common variety are generally tough creatures, which have adapted to their nuclear environment and can withstand high levels of physical trauma.
