Stalker (Strife)

This article is about the monster from Strife. For the monster from Hexen, see Stalker.

A trio of stalkers corner the player in Strife.

Stalkers are enemies from Strife. They are small robots which look like spiders. Stalkers can walk on ceilings, but will drop to the floor when they are directly under their target. They have a fast melee attack which can quickly kill the player if they are not dealt with, but they only have 80 hit points and can be easily destroyed. They ignore alarms, like all robotic enemies.
