This high respawn timer is due to the high value these Necromorphs provide. In Dead Space 2 Multiplayer, the Spitter has an eight-second respawn timer. The lungs have also been pulled from the main body and now reside next to the host's head, intertwined in transformed tissue. It is hard to tell which of the many new arms is the hosts's original, but the legs remain, having lost much mass and suffered many lacerations. A new head, which is rimmed with long pointy teeth all around the mouth and a pair of bladed limbs, has erupted from the upper back, at the base of the neck, and has pushed the host's head to the side, frozen in a frightened state. Following the style of the other Necromorphs, many new arms sprout from various parts of the host's body. The Spitters appear to be completely naked compared to the counterpart from the first game.Īppearing in Dead Space 3 and Dead Space 3: Awakened, the Spitters have taken on their most gruesome appearance yet. Lastly, the host's neck appears to have burst open, exposing an enlarged esophagus connecting from the new mouth to the transformed lungs. The host's mouth has split open to accommodate a new jaw much like the Leapers. The split chest reveals lungs which have been repurposed and expanded to make and spew bile bombs.

The host legs and waist are intact albeit covered in blood, the host arms are also intact, having been repurposed to hold open the chest. This new design is a little more gruesome as the upper back has ripped open for new bladed arms made entirely of mutated flesh along with exposed ribs. Their Dead Space 2 counterpart not only has an entirely new model, but utilizes its spitting feature more and will not hesitate to bombarde the player. These ones mostly rely on close quarters combat and will only spit if their route to the player is blocked. The only major modifications to the host's body are the blades protruding from their hands, flesh hanging from their arms and head having ripped from the body and connected by a new pink, fleshy neck. Their green toned uniforms remain intact and they are the least mutilated looking Slasher. In Dead Space, like the later installments, the Spitters are female. Like male Slashers, Spitters have large, bladed arms protruding from their shoulders, along with their intact original arms. Concept art of the Spitter in Dead Space (2023).
