These limbs are used in maintaining stability, allowing the Slasher to attack its victims with its claws without falling over when the lower limbs are lost. In certain cases these appear to be the host's original arms clamped down to the sides of the body or intestines that are mutated while in others the arms are spindly, vestigial limbs that poke out from the exposed abdominal cavity. In addition to their bladed appendages, Slashers also sport a lower set of arms. Combined with the Slasher's raw strength, the blades are capable of easily dismembering most victims. These blades are the Slashers' main weapon, but they are also used as means of stabilizing the creatures.

These arms are sometimes created by altering the host's original arms, while in others the slashing arms are entirely new appendages sprouting from the shoulder blades or from a mass of flesh at the back.

The Slasher is named for its specialized arms, which sport sharp blade-like protrusions of bone.

The Slasher is created from a single human corpse and is one of the more common Necromorphs encountered in a typical outbreak.
