SOMA Enemies (major spoilers)

[GhylTarvoke]

EDIT: The "Cthulhu-like being" that I thought was WAU was actually a crew member, Johan Ross. He's a very weird guy.

No, the Ghost is ROSS, the Cthulhu-like similar to Proxy is another "mutated" crew member, anyone figured out who btw?

By "Cthulhu-like being", I meant Ross, the ghost. He looks a bit like Cthulhu. Do you mean Yoshida, the last one? (BTW, I love how the forum's spellchecker recognizes "Cthulhu".)

Was this enemy cut from the game?

Spoiler below!

The entity has a full range of animations and appears in several map files and scripts, but I don't remember seeing him anywhere except as a corpse in Omicron. Maybe the corpse was originally supposed to spring to life, but for whatever reason it didn't make the final cut.

He's mentioned in these portions of the 03_02_omicron_inside.hps map file; maybe a scripter can understand what was supposed to happen with him:

He does comes to life and "works" like "infected/resurrected crying woman"

Wait, what?! This sounds awesome.
