[edit] Overview
Countless corpses have been raised to bolster The Destroyer's army. But even more have risen on their own, fueled by the agony of their evil souls.
A great number of the Wicked roam this darkened world. Their clothes and skin have long since moldered to dust, exposing tendon, bone and the crusted scars of their death-wounds. Drive to madness by their eternal torment, these fiends will attack anything in their paths with the tenacity of jackals.
[edit] Darksiders
After War returns to Earth, 100 years after the Apocalypse, the human race has been completely annihilated. With Hell being the victor of the End War, the demons left behind a dark energy that corrupted the remaining inhabitants of Earth, including humans, animals, and the plant life. The darkness is what caused humans to turn into twisted shadows of their former selves, known as Wicked.
The armies of hell completely ignore the Wicked. Unliked some of the other corrupted creatures such as horses, the Wicked are not really used by the demons and at most are just simple obstacles for their enemies.
The Wicked are some of the weakest enemies that War will encounter throughout Darksiders. They are essentially the last remains of the Third Kingdom. Wicked can be found throughout the Destroyed City and they are usually just laying on the floor. They are inactive corpses until War walks by, at which they will then animate and mindlessly chase after War, as if they were a zombie.
[edit] Appearance
Wicked enemies have holes in their head and chest, where a demonic energy can be seen glowing, replacing the heart that the human once had.
Wicked differ from their Undead counterparts. Undead are skeletons and corpses that are of higher intelligence and have been deliberately raised by the demons to serve their needs.
[edit] Wicked K
- Main article: Wicked K
There is one more advanced enemy known as Wicked K. He only makes four appearances throughout the original Darksiders and his locations are a bit hidden. He does have the ability to speak and he talks with a British accent.
[edit] Beta Version
One of the first enemies worked on for the original Darksiders was a beta version of the Wicked. They were described as being 'super top-heavy blue guys that had blue jeans and blue skin.[1]
