Novistador

The Novistador was a unique creature developed by splicing insect genes with the genetic structure of a human host and applying the Las Plagas parasite as a fusion device to fill in the gene sequence gaps. Despite retaining all four limbs, these ‘insect men’ soon lost all human appearance and their ecology became entirely insectoid. They developed a carapace shell that provided some protection against conventional firearms and sprouted two pairs of glowing eyes, two antennae and two pairs of wings on its back. They used their razor-like claws on their front limbs to attack, possessing talons sharp enough to tear open a human being with ease. They are also capable of secreting a highly acidic corrosive fluid that can melt away its prey for easy digestion. Using pigment alterations in their exo-skeleton, the Novistador has the unique ability to change the colour of its carapace to blend in perfectly with their surrounding environment as they stalk their prey. Somewhat appropriately, their name in Spanish means ‘The Unseen.’

These specimens are referred to as ‘stealth type’ Novistadors and are almost imperceptible to the human eye, though they can still be spotted as the secretion of bodily fluids and their glowing eyes remain visible. An inferior breed of Novistadors lack this special camouflage ability because of continued reproduction through natural breeding, which they did in large numbers. These variants chose to swarm their prey in large groups, being able to fly and hover, but also having to frequently land due to their wings not being able to support their excessive body weight for sustained periods of time. They were also highly susceptible to control from the Plaga, as demonstrated when they captured Ashley Graham and delivered her directly to Ramon Salazar. The Novistadors created a large nest in one of the empty cathedral rooms in Salazar castle. This was used solely for breeding purposes.
