Freaks is one of the most horrifying type of Infected. Most have have their heads wrapped in gauze due to being admitted to the hospital for immense head pains and cranial bleeding. During the later stages of infection, the skin on the arms deteriorated, the bones formed into hooks, and hardened. The legs underwent the same, except the bones morphed into something that almost resemble swords...and are just as sharp. Freaks are also extremely thin....which also means they are extremely hard to hit. Dont assume the Freaks are slow because of their mutation. Their new legs actually allow them to run faster by being able to take longer strides. Their hooks also enable a Freak to climb walls and more importantly grab victims.
Freaks are the only infected known to "hunt" other humans. The infection strain also gave them amazing acrobatic skills. Given their size, Freaks can hide just about anywhere...Air vents, ceilings...they have been known to attack from inside sewer grates. Freaks may play dominant predator, but they do have a weakness. During infection, the Freaks eyes have melted, causing it to rely on hearing and smell. That being said, Survivors have found that the Freak can be "stunned". Survivors found that by making loud noises, like banging pans together, causes the Freak to shriek in pain and freeze for a few seconds. But be warned....these noises might attract more infected.
