SOMA Enemies (major spoilers)

[GhylTarvoke]

I figured I'd make an update now that SOMA's released. AFAIK, what follows is a complete list of SOMA's enemies, where "enemy" is defined as "an entity that can hurt you" (so Johan Ross doesn't qualify).

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Construct, Maintenance Infected, Robot Doggy
Location(s): Upsilon
Behavior: Actively explores its environment. Has a narrow field of vision, indicated by its searchlight. Moves slowly while in "search mode", but moves quickly when it spots Simon.
Story: This robot has the mind of a female human (according to artwork), who is unaware of her plight.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Infected, Swimmer
Location(s): Ocean floor near Upsilon and Lambda
Behavior: Slowly patrols area, or attempts to break windows. Becomes hostile when Simon gets too close, but is easily evaded.
Story: This robot is confused and in pain, begging for structure gel.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Flesher, Jiangshi, Disco Ball Head
Location(s): Lambda, Ocean floor near Lambda, CURIE
Behavior: Frequently teleports. Moves more quickly when Simon looks at it. Opens manual doors. One-hit KO during its final appearance.
Story: Called the Jiangshi in early builds, but not in the final release. Catherine describes it as "exploding with electromagnetism", which may explain its teleportation abilities. (It moves while Simon is stunned.)

Possible Name(s): Proxy, Mindcoral Puppet
Location(s): Theta
Behavior: Blind, but reacts to sound. Moves clumsily and opens automatic doors.
Story: These are humans who have been transformed by structure gel. In Theta's climax, Simon must navigate an entire nest of them.

Possible Name(s): Akers, Proxy, Mindcoral Puppet
Location(s): Theta
Behavior: Blind, but reacts to sound. Moves quickly, opens automatic doors, and uses vents.
Story: Strangely dark under certain lighting conditions. This may be Terry Akers, who tore out his own eyes and consumed large quantities of structure gel.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Robot Girl, Screamer
Location(s): Omicron
Behavior: When idle, shivers and laughs/cries. "Awoken" by movement, but slow to react. Screams and glows when hostile. One-hit KO during its final appearance.
Story: A female "survivor" of the massacre at Omicron.

Possible Name(s): Leviathan, WAU Shark
Location(s): Abyss, Alpha
Behavior: Swims with massive gliding/rolling movements. Chases Simon through a pipe. Attempts to grab Simon in its maw; if it succeeds, swims a short distance before dropping him.
Story: This enemy may be a robotic sentinel, manufactured by WAU.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Fangtooth
Location(s): Abyss

Story: These fish have been made larger and more aggressive by structure gel.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Anglerfish
Location(s): Abyss
Behavior: Waits outside a cave, luring prey with its light. Slowly gives chase if Simon gets too close, even pursuing him through the cave.
Story: This fish has been made larger and more aggressive by structure gel.

Spoiler below!

Possible Name(s): Yoshida, Diving Suit, Tentacle-Face
Location(s): Tau
Behavior: Walks like a zombie. Unusually persistent and difficult to hide from. Opens automatic doors. Often pauses before charging forward. When it catches Simon, attacks him with its facial tentacles.
Story: This may be J. Yoshida, the last person to use Power Suit 3 at Tau.
