Burrower

Burrowers
The Burrower is a malefactor that appears in both Suffering games. They first appeared in The Suffering Chapter 8, "Darkest Night, Eternal Blight".

Representation
Carnate Burrowers are a representation of those buried alive. They specifically tie to a quarry mining accident that happened on Carnate, killing several inmates.

Appearance
Like all of the Malefactors, the Burrower has a basic human appearance. The Carnate Burrowers resembles a human body tied up in a gunny sack with a considerable amount of wear to it, tightly constrained by leather straps. Attatched to these straps are four long steel chains, tipped with sharp metal hooks. It's head is exposed, though is contained inside a metal apparatus. It is shown to have a heightened sense of hearing, which is advanced enough to hear footfalls on the earth above it.

Clem's Entry
"These Burrowers are some of the most lethal creatures I have encountered, primarily due to their ability to spring fourth from the ground itself and just as quickly, re-submerge. They are closely tied to the very soil of Carnate, a theme among these monstrosities. Its appearance is of a human body tied up in a gunny sack and constrained by leather straps, with deadly steel chains attached at various locations. I believe they represent those buried alive."
