Corrupted Creatures

Corrupted Creatures are a variant of normal Creatures corrupted by that are found on Extinction, the corruption enslaving their behavior into a "hive-mentality". Creatures that are corrupted are more powerful, extremely aggressive (regardless of their previous Temperament), and untameable. All Corrupted Creatures can destroy and will attack the structure when in range (which only applies in PvP).

Projectiles from corrupted creatures are tinted in purple, and if they are hit by ranged projectile, the hit marker will appear in purple, as opposed to normal/friendly hit marker which appears red/green/orange respectively.

Some creatures drop rare materials like, , and will often drop. Corrupted Nodules essentially functions the exact same way as does, with a spoilage timer, use as a  substitute, and a suicide pill when consumed.

All Corrupted Creatures have a chance, based on creature strength, to drop a after killed. This means the stronger the creature, the more likely it will drop a Corrupt Heart.

The does 4x or 400% more damage than it usually does to any and all corrupted creatures, giving it a significant advantage to kill corrupted and help a survivor travel the Wastelands more safely.

All Corrupted Creatures take significantly less damage from.

Note

 * Corrupted Creatures will not attack wild, , , and other large carnivores.
 * It is note worthy that all Corrupted Creatures can be mate boosted by their own specific species, potentially making them even more deadly.
 * Because of their hive nature being similar to bees, attacking a corrupted creature will result in survivors and their tames being swarmed by nearby corrupted creatures in a certain radius.
 * In Orbital Supply Drops defense, when attacking corrupted that are damaging the drop, several corrupted will branch off and attack you while a few continue damaging the drop.
 * In Orbital Supply Drop defenses, several Corrupted creatures seem to "learn" how to bypass certain structures such as the shield for the Tek forcefield or metal spike walls. For example, when a single Corrupted Wyvern and or Corrupted Rock Drake manages to find a way to enter the Tek forcefield a player has put up in replacement for the original forcefield, the rest of the Corrupted Wyverns in later rounds seem to replicate its method to enter and damage the drop.
 * It may be worth noting that out of all the Corrupted Creatures, only the and  do not possess their usual traits from their uncorrupted variant.
 * The doesn't possess natural armor resistance, but possess a much higher health pool to compensate for it.
 * The does not inflict a bleed when biting
 * The can switch into bipedal stance, but won't do its claw swipe; it will only just bite.
 * When the uses its cloaking ability, the outline of its non-existent feather are still present.
 * The Corrupted was formerly one of the Corrupted Creatures at the release of Extinction, but later it was silently removed from the game for unknown reasons.
 * For some reason, Corrupted creatures give off a strange, eerie sound that can be heard when close. The sound however disappears after the player travels enough of distance away and comes back. Also, corrupted corpses do not emit the sound.
 * A strange thing about the corrupted creatures is that Element can corrupt anything but it focuses on a fixed number of creatures. All those creatures it corrupts are known and/or popular in contemporary society and all of them are tames that players would typically tame.
 * This behavior is further justified in lore where The One Who Waits/Homo Deus Helena described Element turning any creature that was useful for its cause into its shadows and anything that was useless to it were devoured and destroyed.

 * When a dies, its corpse shortly disappears.
 * Interestingly, some corrupted creatures don't show any sign of blood before and/or after they are hurt and killed and some do. 3 of them when they are killed however, those being the, , and , will have all of their body that isn't corrupted, totally and completely covered in red blood.
 * Projectiles that are shot from corrupted creatures, which are likely made of a mixture of element and flesh, will not look the same as their creature counterpart. For example, the 's throw attack throws a purple element glob as opposed to poop and the will spit out liquid purple element as opposed to green colored, acidic blood.
 * While the shadow on the Dossier image appears what looked like a corrupted, there is no such thing as Corrupted Brontosaurus that exists in-game.
 * Beware when going into areas like the Wasteland or any other area that usually contains Corrupted Creatures, they can and will literally materialize out of thin air and attack.
 * Corrupted creatures act very similar to zombies in that they are infected and will mindlessly attack anything near them.
 * Like zombies, they are all badly malformed. Some features include lack of eyes, lack of feathers, organs glowing purple.
 * Corrupted Creatures can be picked up and dropped onto bases for easy raiding. Turrets that are not set to attack wild creatures will ignore them as a Corrupted Dino can devastate even Tek bases. This give early game players with tames as early as an argentavis or pteranodon the ability to raid highly advanced bases, while also being virtually unseen by the tribe log.
 * The corrupted creatures don't seem to have a method of expelling Element from their bodies and, as a result, Element builds up in their body until it corrupts them.
 * Creatures like the, , , , and have Element in their bodies, but it doesn't corrupt them. Their respective methods of constantly expelling Element could explain why this is the case.
 * The Corrupted Dimorph does not show its element body parts. This can be fixed by going out of stasis range and returning.
