Menial

Resistance: Fall of Man

Lowest Of The Low

The Menial is not a warrior and is not built for fighting in any way. They are used by the Chimera to transport around highly explosive power cells and nothing more. As as result of their lack of importance, their bodies can barely function and they walk exceedingly slow and they are...well... menial.

However, even though they walk exceedingly slow, they also move very quietly. This can present some awkward situations as when they are close enough, they will launch themselves at the player and engage in what can only be described as feral behaviour. The player must shake them off, or be mauled to death. So if there are menials around, always make sure you watch your back, otherwise you could encounter an unexpected surprise.

Note: In cooperative play, Menials cannot perform this manoeuvre.

Since Menials don't really pose any threat at all, there is little point wasting ammo on killing them. They will die in 1/2 melee hits depending on the difficulty level and if you're quick enough they will not be able to grab onto you. So, use the Reapers to end their miserable lives quickly.
