Lifter Leviathans

Lifter Leviathans are enemy characters introduced in Dark Deception: Unchecked Limitations. They serve as the primary enemies in "Wreckage Warehouse", the Hidden Nightmare of Chapter 1, and makes a cameo appearance in "Mascot Mayhem" as a minor enemy. They will also make a returning appearance in Wiki Deception 3: Repentance as one of the main enemies in "Grocery Gore".

Appearance
The Lifter Leviathans resemble forklifts with robot legs and arms. The lifts are actually oddly arranged teeth, and they have orange insectoid eyes and mouth parts.

In Frenzy Mode, their robotic bodies are darker in colour and their eyes are red.

Personality
The Lifter Leviathans are described as E as being the souls of those who distributed illegal items and goods to others, such as drug dealers or people in the black market, whose technological implants have been scavenged from broken machines to channel the soul energy with greater efficiency. This increase in power gives the Lifter Leviathans more self-confidence, causing them to act more aggressively than the Murder Monkeys.

The Lifter Leviathans are known to take their jobs very seriously, and get very angry when Doug interferes with their work. They are described as 'Gentle Giants', only attacking those who steal things from the warehouse. Despite the enhancements, their intelligence remains on par with the Murder Monkeys and it has yet to be determined who or what actually augmented them.

Powers
The Lifter Leviathans possess immense brute force, and despite their weight and size, are capable of moving very quickly. They possess night vision and have good memory, as they can easily navigate the warehouse, which others would easily get lost in. Their claws are equipped with tractor beam-type attachments designed for handling hazardous materials and heavy lifting, allowing them to effectively pull objects over from a distance and unleash an energy blast that punts the targeted object with tremendous force.

Due to their robotic nature, they are particularly resistant against Primal Fear and Blow Dart abilities.

Behaviour
The Lifter Leviathans' eye beams act as their line of sight. If the player is caught in them, the Lifter Leviathans will give chase. Otherwise, they walk slowly around the level, ignoring other Lifter Leviathans. Since the warehouse is quite dark, you can see their eyes glow in the corners before they see you.

Motion-activated lights in some aisles can be activated by the Lifter Leviathans. It can tell you when one of the Lifter Leviathans is in the aisle next to you if you can't see the eye beam. They are not always aware of the player's location, but will relentlessly pursue them at high speeds upon finding them, being capable of outrunning the player's base speed, but can be halted by running around displays and corners quickly. They also possess the ability to throw warehouse objects across the environment, such as cardboard boxes, explosive barrels, debris, forklifts, shelves, and ladders, to incapacitate the player from a great distance, knocking them to the ground. Some of these cardboard boxes contain not only soul shards, but also powerups such as reveal shards and batteries to recharge the player's tablet.

4 will spawn on each corner of the map, with a fifth one spawning in the middle of the map. The player must pay attention to their mechanical stomping and find a hiding spot, which is located in small rooms with two entrances that the Lifters cannot fit through. The Lifter Leviathans are fairly resistant against the stunning effect from Primal Fear or Blow Dart (as the effect duration is greatly reduced), although they're still affected by the knockback effect from Thunderclap, thankfully.

Trivia
