Wicked

Summary
Wicked are a supernatural enemy type in Leaden sky and the fourth enemy type to be fought overall, they appear in Kyle's nightmare and some underground sections in the outskirts of the city.

They are abominations of human origin, akin to the Demented but much worse off in terms of the outcome, they're twisted almost to a point beyond recognition as human as bladed and spiked protrusions clutter their forms and one of their arms has shifted into bearing an large razor-sharp blade capable of slicing clean through even normally cut-resistant materials.

Wicked will attack any human they encounter, including the player, by charging straight towards them and swinging their arm blade wildly at them until either they die or kill their opponent and upon death will release a humanoid, ghost-like entity that slowly fades into existence and chases their quarry, causing extreme and rapid damage upon physical contact similarly to the Apparitions spawned by Skulls.

Their bodies have been changed beyond just having protrusions and a bladed arm, however, as they no longer react to pain and their flesh has been essentially melded with their skeletons and hardened to a point of being remarkably resistant to small-arms fire which makes them extremely difficult to deal with as they will simply continue sprinting at a target without stopping or flinching, even under extremely heavy gunfire.

Even worse off mentally than the Demented are, they never use anything but their remaining hand and their bladed arm to mercilessly slaughter whoever they detect, and as they feel no pain they never make any noise even as their body is destroyed in agonizing ways as if they are nothing but a shell harboring an entity.

It is as of yet unknown how or why people turn into any form of paranormal creature, however it is known that these paranormal manifestations did not begin occurring until structures such as The Tower were erected in Mercenary controlled regions.

Appearance
The Wicked are made up of the homogenized mass of the flesh and bones of multiple human bodies, appearing almost as a mixture of various internal organs and pieces of the skeleton haphazardly compressed together into a humanoid shape, still wearing the tattered and bloodied apparel of whoever the original body of the creature was.

Spike-like protrusions resembling shattered, exposed bones scatter the surface of the Wicked's body, most noticeably around the shoulders and head.

Their arm is the most standout feature of a Wicked both functionally and visually, appearing more like a gruesome, enormous, tumorous growth than an arm which features inhumanly twisting and turning muscle tissue and sinews mashed together vaguely in the shape of an arm and presenting one or more large blades made of bone in place of a hand.
