Uterus

Uterus is a enemy encountered in Fear & Hunger.

Location & Behavior
Uteruses can be located spread across the buildings in Ma'habre, mainly those leading into the Grand Library and encounter with Valteil. They seem lifeless at first, standing idly as the player walks by them sometimes, but can suddenly snap to life and start chasing the player. Their speed is extremely slow, but they are often located within narrow rooms or hallways and are thus difficult to avoid.

Deeper, within the library itself, the player may find several uteruses walking around on their own, who chase much faster.

Lore
"'Valteil the enlightened one created many forms of life for many different purposes. Uterus serves a purpose too and every night Valteil would summon one of them to his quarters.' - The New Gods when asked about the Uteri."A mechanical puppet resembling a medical mannequin, the Uterus carries an embryo within it that will crawl out to attack the player. Like other creations of Valteil, Uteri are soulless. It's suggested that Valteil uses them to satisfy his own needs, and possibly the Embryo as well in his depraved acts, as Nas'hrah suggests Valteil is a pedophile.

Strategy
The Uterus attacks mainly using its hands, which are able to stab and heavily damage the player and party members. Its limbs are easy to cut off thankfully, but there is another great danger coming from this encounter - the Embryo that grows within the uterus will begin to slowly crawl out during turns. If it is left up to reach the player and not defeated in time, it will deal possibly critical amounts of damage by stabbing the player's party members. Having multiple party members is extremely useful here, as it is absolutely essential to deal as much damage to it as possible before it crawls up. After the fetus is defeated, the Uterus will remain harmless.

Drop
The Uterus does not drop any item by pillage. However, using the Pickpocket skill will reward the player with an Orange vial or White vial. The Embryo has no items at all.
