The Corrupted are unfortunate citizens of New Marais that have been mutated into biological abominations that seem to dwell in the swamps of New Marais.
Biography
Their mutation are from unknown means, but it seems that one of the reasons the Militia was formed was to fight them off. The Corrupted take the place of the second group of enemies that will face Cole in InFamous 2. Not much is known about the Corrupted.There are 7 Corrupted variants, four Special-type corrupted a Grunt-type corrupted, a Kamikaze variant and a swarmer.
The four special types are Hive Lord, Ravager, Behemoth and Devourer, the Grunt-type, identified by a gameplay trailer, are called Swamp Monsters the Kamikaze are called Gasbags which closly resemble the Swamp Monsters but their heads are replaced with explosive sacks, the Swarmers are better known as Spikers.
It's eventually revealed that Joseph Bertrand the third is also the Behemoth and is a conduit with the abillity to turn others into Corrupted like himself. It's also revealed that Bertrand created the Corrupted as living breathing weapons of mass destruction to be sold to a long line of internation war-lords. With the ultimate goal of Kick starting a Conduit Genocide.
It's possible for the Corrupted to become a ally to Cole if he chooses to alley himself with Nix instead of Kuo, since Nix found a way to take control over the Corrupted.
Ultimately however the Corrupted is mostly wiped out by the Beast, and if the Good Path is taken the last of them drop dead from the Ray Field Inhibitor
Trivia
thumb|350px|right|IGN rewind: inFamous 2.
- The Corrupted have green colored blood due to mutation.
- The Corrupted suffer from extreme photosensitivity a weakness Zeke Dunbar would exploit with a UV based weapon called the Dunbar beam. However they are shown in New Marias during the day time, which is inconsistant with this weakness. Yet this could just be concentrated UV rays.
- The Swamp Monsters bear a strong resembalance to the Slashers of the Dead Space series.Template:-
- It would appear that Bertrand was able to trick the citizens into becoming a Corrupted by claiming he was performing something of a exorcism, or as he calls it "getting the demon out of you".
