Izlom

The  is considered to be a human mutant which appears in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha standalone mod.

"The result of a genetic experimentation, or left-behind people twisted by the Zone's unstable environment. Supposedly has a hypotrophic limb that enables telepathy. This creature is very cunning; in most cases, it hides its telepathic limb under a cloak. From afar, it resembles a hunchbacked hermit, and it sometimes deliberately lures unsuspecting stalkers with a request or conversation. As soon as the stalker turns around, it stands up straight and attacks with its hypotrophic limb. If a stalker shares some food with this creature, then it might share some very interesting information about the Zone, or tell a story. It eats rats, dogs, Fleshes, and sometimes people. It can sometimes follow a solitary stalker, robbing him while he sleeps."

Overview
The result of a genetic experimentation, or left-behind people twisted by the Zone's unstable environment. Supposedly has a hypotrophic limb that enables telepathy. This creature is very cunning; in most cases, it hides its telepathic limb under a cloak. From afar, it resembles a hunchbacked hermit, and it sometimes deliberately lures unsuspecting stalkers with a request or conversation. As soon as the stalker turns around, it stands up straight and attacks with its hypotrophic limb. If a stalker shares some food with this creature, then it might share some very interesting information about the Zone, or tell a story. It eats Rats, Blind Dogs, Fleshes, and sometimes people. It can sometimes follow a solitary stalker, robbing him while he sleeps.

Gameplay

 * The Izlom is not easily damaged by pistol fire, assault rifles being of more appropriate use. Grenade attacks work, but the beast is quite mobile and rarely becomes stationary, rendering such attacks as being inefficient.
 * Because of the 'bobbing' nature of its gait, headshots are more difficult, even when it approaches directly.
 * If the player is fortunate enough to encounter one whilst driving: run it over. The Izlom is even weaker than a Blind Dog and has no noticeable body structure as Bloodsuckers and Pseudodogs have, which would run the risk of overturning the vehicle.

Trivia

 * The character Nomad who is found in the Radar area seems to be also a more sentient sort of Izlom affiliated to the Loners.
 * You shouldn't try to attack him, since he'll provide you with the codes for entering the Brain Scorcher lab if you do a bit of work for him.
