The Crawler is a common specimen in Killing Floor 2. It is classified as a lesser enemy, and therefore, cannon fodder. Crawlers
appear as small, black humanoids with an insect-like gait, crawling on all fours. Crawlers are extremely fast and often sneak past defenses due to their small size. Created by integrating arachnid DNA with Zed-type clots, crawlers are skittering, low to the ground Zeds that have a nasty habit of coming out of manholes, ventilation shafts, and other unexpected access points. While not particularly fast, crawlers can leap a great distance to quickly close with their prey. Crawlers don't inflict a great deal of damage on their own, but their ability to come from unexpected locations and their low profile can make them difficult to deal with. Crawlers are best countered by Commandos and Field Medics.
