Wretch (Amnesia)

The Wretch is the first of the three types of ManPigs encountered in Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, the 2013 sequel to the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is the most common type of enemy, and as such is the weakest, as it takes at least eight hits total to kill the player. It is a minion of the Machine and hunts all humans.

Appearance
Wretches appear as large, humanoid creatures with the heads, and thus, the nature and mannerisms, of a large pig. They have leather straps around different parts of their body and limbs, including a loincloth of some sort. It is interesting to note that while their arms are more like those of a human being, their legs are more like those of an actual pig in terms of jointage. Even so, they still have the bare feet of a normal human. They also have some sort of steel collar around their neck, as well as a leather hood over their head. Their eyes glow green and they sometimes move on all fours, usually to move faster. Like other ManPigs, their left arm is shorter.

Overview
Upon spawning, Wretches will scout around the map in search of the game's protagonist, Oswald. Upon spotting him, they will stand up, stagger a bit, and let out a threatening, blood curdling squeal, before charging after him. They cannot be killed and must be ran and hidden from. They move at fast speeds, and it can be hard to avoid them sometimes, as they can see just fine, even in the dark. They aren't very tough, however, as it takes eight hits for them to kill Oswald. This doesn't mean you shouldn't worry, however, as around the fifth or sixth hit, Oswald becomes slower and easier to kill. If Oswald is out of their reach, they will wander off somewhere else. They appear visually very often, and are seen at least twice feeding on human flesh. They usually appear in twos and will stop at nothing to please the Machine, whom they worship as a god.
