Husks are the most common type of Storm Monsters in Save the World.

Characteristics

Husk Monsters are similar to zombies from other horror media. Their body is slightly decayed with green skin and their backbone exposed. The hair and skin in the head has been ripped, exposing their skull, the ripped skin takes the form of a "hoodie". Their eyes glow orange.

Husks are formed from a corpse of humans killed by The Storm or by other Monsters, reanimated into an undead being by The Storm. Ray describes the Husks' body when the ATLAS is being attacked as "cold, (un)dead", confirming that Husks are once living humans.

Their usual behavior is attacking humans or Wildlife when there are no objectives. When an objective is placed, Husks will try to destroy them and the defenses surrounding it. Husks has some form of intelligence in that they can find weak points of a fort and exploit them, such as breaking a stone wall when the rest of the fort is metal or finding an opening. When Husks touches a mission objective, they are instantly eliminated but the objective takes damage.

When Husks are eliminated, their body disintegrates.

Husk Monster Types

Monster	Image	Intro Text	AI-attack	Description
Husk		Swarm and Destroy!	Objective	The "standard", most common type of husk that the player encounters. They utilize a melee attack using their hands, but deal relatively low damage per hit and have relatively low health. They are individually quite weak and only pose a threat in larger groups.
Huskling			Assassin	Huskling are smaller than a standard husk. They primarily hunt players and can jump over one-tile-high walls to reach the player. They deal moderate damage and come in swarms so they can hurt a player quickly, but they are very fragile, taking no more than a hit or two to kill with most weapons.
Husky			Demolition	Beefier than the standard Husk, they deal moderate damage to players and buildings. They can soak up quite a bit of damage and can take down buildings if left alone for too long.
Riot Husky			Demolition	Riot Husky carries a refrigerator door that will block most player attacks from the front.
Sploder		Cooking With Gas!	Demolition	Similar in size and shape to the Husky husk, they wear a red shirt and carry a propane tank on their shoulder. When near players or buildings, they will throw their propane tank to do significant damage to all players, structures, and other husks near it. Sploders can not be elemental.
Pitcher		Throw'n Bones!	Assassin	Pitchers carry a baseball helmet full of bones, which they throw at the player. They have a slow wind-up that makes their projectiles relatively easy to dodge. They tend not to focus on the objective but instead focus on distracting and damaging the player.
Zapper			Assassin	Zapper husks are ranged attack enemies who fire a single, moderately powered beam at the player and are able to spawn with elemental modifiers. The damage and health of the Zapper Husk is somewhere in between that of the Pitcher and the Blaster.
Beehive		Beeeessss!	Assassin	Beehive husks appear as a standard Husk with a beehive on its head, surrounded by a swarm of bees. Occasionally they will stop and send a targeted swarm of bees at a player. Bees will linger on any tile where the Beehive husk has walked or directed bees towards, dealing damage per second to players within the tile. The beehive can be shot off with a head shot, turning them into a regular Husk. Beehives can not be elemental.
Lobber		Time To Build A Roof!	Demolition	Lobbers are one of the two female husks. They throw purple skulls or beehives from a long distance. Purple skulls deal damage on impact to players and structures. If it is an orange skull, this is a Beehive Lobber that throws beehives, causing damage to players. Lobbers can not be elemental.
The Nurse			Objective	The Nurse is a enemy that heals other monsters within its AOE. Nurses can not be elemental.
