Nonetheless, there are a number of completely different ugly mutants in Sons of the Forest, together with one virtually totally made up of fingers. Earlier than you dive into Sons of the Forest multiplayer with your pals, be sure you really dwell lengthy sufficient to discover the massive Sons of the Forest map by familiarising your self with all the Sons of the Forest mutants and cannibals.

Cannibals
A basic enemy from The Forest, cannibals are just about the identical as you bear in mind. Bare, harmful, feral people – presumably as soon as survivors right here themselves, or the offspring thereof – cannibals. In the event that they’re something like their predecessors, they may come at you pretty early on within the sport. Cannibals wish to preserve their distance at first earlier than coming in for the assault, perhaps even dragging you to their caves in the event that they knock you out.
There are additionally masked cannibals in Sons of the Forest, who look like much less feral and extra mentally sound than the opposite cannibals, and are maybe the leaders of the cannibal subset.
Fingers
Fingers is the confirmed title of one of many mutants within the third trailer, and might be seen within the prime picture. We don’t know what kind of evolutionary motive might presumably be behind Fingers’ mutation, however it has, effectively, plenty of fingers. No face, however many fingers. No chest, however many fingers. No arms… effectively, you get the concept. You’d assume this might make Fingers fairly simple to take down, however we’re sure it might hit more durable than we anticipate. Both approach, it’s a reasonably terrifying shock to search out at midnight Sons of the Forest caves.
Large
We’re undecided if “Large” is the official title of this mutant but, however it’s a fantastic placeholder for now. The Large might be seen firstly of the primary trailer shortly after the helicopter crash, when a frighteningly massive hand comes by means of the timber and steals away your colleague, killing them within the distance shortly after. What we don’t know is whether or not this Large contains a complete physique, or is solely a hand. There’s some hypothesis that the large could also be known as “The Flinger” or “Catapult”, which explains a cannibal in some way hits your helicopter within the first place.
John 2.0
When you performed The Forest, you may recognise the title John. The title was, um, affectionately(?) given to The Worm, a sequence of small, slug-like mutants all strung collectively in a wormy formation. John 2.0 is, fortunately, nothing like John, however remains to be fairly horrifying, and is actually two cannibals joined on the legs, capable of stroll on their palms, nonetheless reducing a reasonably worm-like determine.
Mutant infants
The mutant infants had been additionally in The Forest, and hurled themselves in the direction of you in assault, screeching all of the whereas. In Sons of the Forest, we aren’t certain whether or not they seem in the identical vogue, as we’ve solely seen them within the third trailer, when Sluggy might be seen hurling the infants at you as an assault. It seems as if these infants don’t do something although, every mendacity lifelessly on the bottom after being thrown.
Sluggy
Sluggy is a creepy mutant who makes use of infants as projectiles, throwing them at you in self defence. What else this massive, fleshy mutant does although stays unknown.
Twins
Once more solely briefly teased within the trailers, we all know the Twins are just like John in that they’re conjoined cannibals, solely this time they’re joined on the hip. The Twins crawl round on their palms and even have the power to climb partitions.
Virginia
Virginia is the one mutant on this listing you may befriend, and who received’t harm you. She shares the title and multi-legged look of the Virginia mutants from the primary sport, however doesn’t look like the identical character, as she has a face and a extra fashioned look. She’s an precise NPC who you may befriend, frighten off, or just ignore, and she will be able to even be seen preventing alongside you in a number of the trailer footage.
These are all the Sons of the Forest mutants and cannibals we all know of to date, however extra are certain to crawl out of the woodwork as we get nearer to the Sons of the Forest launch date. As that date grows nearer, be sure you can run the survival horror sport by trying out the Sons of the Forest system necessities, and be sure you’re totally ready to outlive the lethal forest.
