The Rat King from The Last of Us II
The infected in The Last of Us and The Last of Us II have already become memorable to players after their first appearance. The grotesque transformation of a human into a fungus-infected creature is truly a terrible fate that no one wants to empathize with.
In the second part of the series, this concept is pushed to the limit and shocks players when too many infected are locked in a small space – in a union of these monsters into a large, swaying blob of arms, legs, and rotting teeth.
The Rat King (composed of Clickers, Stalkers, and even a Bloater) chases the player through the cramped corridors of the hospital where even walls cannot stop it. And to make matters worse, this thing can take a lot of damage.
The section with the Rat King is one of those moments that will be remembered at the end of a game. This fight for survival burns itself into memory.
