Reaper

The Reaper is a mutant described in the novel To See the Sun by Sergey Moskvin.

Origins
Judging from its description, a Reaper is a mixture of rodent and feral cat DNA. It lives in the sewers of post-nuclear Novosibirsk.

Description
The reaper is a bizarre mutant more than three meters tall, with a long, woolly dark pole on its body and tail. Its front limbs are one and a half times longer than its body, and end in thin sickle-shaped claws (which is how it got its nickname). It has a keen sense of hearing. Isn't very fast while running, but can leap across obstacles in quick bursts.

Until October 2033, this creature lived in the vicinity of the Krasny Prospekt station, until it was killed by Polina and Sergei. As the stalkers say, this creature managed to ruin their lives more ways than once.

Interesting Facts

 * The Reaper's habits and appearance are very similar to those of the mutant guard dogs living in Moscow. Most likely, the Reaper was copied from them.
 * It's also known by the nickname "Anteater".
