Clickers – The Last of Us
7 Scariest Horror Game Monsters
What’s scary enough to give a zombie nightmares? Those dastardly Clickers from The Last of Us, of course!
While these fungi-ravaged monstrosities are as blind as a bat, their auditory skills are second to none. Indeed, the bat analogy doesn’t just stop there, however, as clickers are known to utilize echolocation to hunt their prey. That’s right, that signature clicking sound is their way of trying to sniff you out and find you, hence the name.
It’s worth noting that these beasties were once human and are the end result of a Stage 3 Cordyceps-like brain infection. In other words, unlike some of the other monsters on this list, Clickers still retain a semblance of humanity and – from a distance – could even be mistaken for an average Joe. Heck, I’ve seen worse on a Saturday night out, but I digress.
However, what makes Clickers particularly nasty, though, is the fact that if they catch you, you’re as dead as a doornail. Yep, those blind, pesky blighters boast a one-hit kill and can even withstand a handful of bullets to the head, especially when they’re in ‘berserk’ mode. As a result, we’d suggest giving them a wide berth if you’re running low on ammo. You’ve been warned!
