Description

Welcome. I present you Dark Onefrom the game Metro 2033. In the expansion :

- Dark One
- Dark One Fast
- Dark One Warrior
- Dark One King

The Dark Ones (Russian: Чёрные or "black ones") are a sapient species descended from humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse and adapted to the new world.

Though rarely seen, the Dark Ones serve as the driving antagonists throughout both iterations of Metro 2033, in which they pose as a new mutant threat aggressively descending from the surface to Artyom's home station of VDNKh (Exhibition, in the video game).

Aside from their basic resemblance to humans in terms of overall shape, the outward appearance of a Dark One is quite strange. They have long, slender arms and legs, with the arms ending in large hands that have four long digits. The skin color is a dark, ashen gray. Adults have sunken in lower jaws, but in their juvenile stage, they have mouths surrounded by insect-like mouth parts.

When encountered in combat situations, Dark Ones prove to be very dangerous due to their telepathic abilities. While stronger and more durable than a typical human, they are still fairly weak when compared to other mutants, capable of being taken down with five shots from a revolver, but their psychic abilities more than make up for this.

Despite their physical appearances, the Dark Ones are the biological relatives - one might even say descendants - of humans. However, the dark ones are much better adapted to the recently ravaged post-apocalyptic world. ♥♥♥♥ Novus as they are referred to, have evolved to be highly resistant to radiation, cold temperatures, and have extra-sensory perception, which in Last Light, is depicted as a perception of both blood and aggression. As shown to Artyom by the baby Dark One, through the eyes of a Dark One: angry or aggressive beings glow red, fearful ones glow blue, ambivalent glow yellow, and friends appear green. They are also capable of seeing the various paranormal phenomena found throughout the Metro, such as ghosts.

Another theory on their creation is one proposed by Khan after learning of the hibernating Dark Ones inside D6. He believes that the Dark Ones might have actually been genetically engineered before the war (perhaps as telepathic soldiers immune to radiation). If that is true then the experiment appears to be a failure since the Dark Ones are pacifists and dislike killing. It would also explain the lack of (visible) reproductive organs and lead to presume that the Dark Ones needs a long time to mature (at least more than 21 years) as the little dark one encountered in Last Light must have been created prior to the war that took place 21 years before the events of the second game and is still considered a baby.
