Novistador
Information
The sewers and caves beneath Salazar's sadistic palace are inhabited by lurking horrors he calls "Novistadors," insect-like mutants that seemingly have nothing to do with Las Plagas but are deadly nonetheless. The name is a play on Spanish words meaning something like "no" "sight".
Novistadors are capable of bending the light spectrum around their skin, rendering them virtually invisible. Novistadors take up positions on the floor, ceiling and walls. When they close their eyes, they become completely invisible until unsuspecting prey enters their territory. But in order to move or advance on a victim, Novistadors must open their glowing eyes. Their eyes give away their position and proximity. Maintaining a safe distance from Novistadors is important, since they are capable of leaping from some feet away.
Novistadors encountered in a deep underground cave take flight, and may swoop in to a hovering position. They're extremely vulnerable when shot out of air. Flying Novistadors attacked with a sniper rifle while hovering in the air over a chasm or pit are instantly killed.
