==== Spawn ====
These formless creatures appear to be controlled by some other entity. Studies of their remains have revealed that they lack any sort of brain. Nevertheless their actions demostrate a fearsome cunning and a total hatred of mankind.

==== Protean ====
Some of the creatures found in the sewers are endowed with greater power than their fellows. They don't however, seem to have any control over the weaker spawns. One thing has been shown: the genetic material of these creatures is unlike anything on this planet.
