Albino

Pathologic 2=

The Albino is a strange being made out of clay, a creature tied to the Earth.

Background
A Steppe creature, elusive and rarely seen. Its appearance matches descriptions of the Shabnak-Adyg provides by the Kin.

Plot
The first appearance of an Albino comes through the "Tumbler Human", which is Artemy Burakh's childhood doll which he used to speak to. He comes upon it again in what becomes his hideout. Upon repairing the alembic, the doll once more converses with Artemy, seemingly as a reflection of Artemy's father.

Only after the Haruspex emerges from the Abattoir does he encounter an Albino, in a dream sequence where he speaks to (and optionally names, leading to the Adam achievement) a number of them, who tell him of the connection between the Earth and the Plague, and of their near-extinction.

On Day 11, an Albino appears along with other creatures of Earth to plead on the Earth's behalf and beseeching the Haruspex to take pity on them.

The Albino is a strange being made out of clay. He considers himself to be Clara's brother and is an embodiment of the Sand Plague. He is hunted by Sticky.

Being close to it appears to harm people, as the Bachelor takes significant health damage while talking to it in close proximity.

Background
The Albino is a mysterious creature that came from the Steppe. Although being close to the Albino causes people harm, he is not very strong and can be killed very easily.

Bachelor Route
The Bachelor will only meet the Albino once during his route on Day 6 near the Abattoir. The Bachelor can try to talk to the Albino and decide to either kill the Albino or let him go. If the Albino dies, the Changeling will come to visit his grave.

Haruspex Route
The Haruspex never meets the Albino.

Changeling Route
The Changeling will see the Albino twice during her route, on Day 5 and Day 6, at the Ragi Barrow. He can tell the Changeling more about her background and origins. Due to his weak body, the Changeling will have to protect him from looters and arsonists.

Something that looks like the Albino will appear every day somewhere in the Town starting from Day 6 during the Changeling route. It appears to be leading a group of people who have a cult-like faith in the Changeling's twin. The Changeling must talk to it and perform a miracle to prove she is the real Clara and the real harbinger, forcing them to disperse. If she does not find them and correctly perform the miracle, the district that they were gathering in will become permanently infected.

This is not the same creature as that Clara talks to at Ragi Barrow, despite sharing the same model, as it doesn't recognize her when she talks to it.
