Rabid Heavy

The Rabid Heavy is one of Crash Maul's characters and a member of a species of mythical bear-like Heavies that a certain R.E.D Engineer studied, hunted, and eventually tamed into his vicious pet.

The Rabid Heavy makes its debut along with its owner in Meet the Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer where it helps its master dominate the B.L.U team on 2fort. In The Fight for Sawmill, it is called into battle again a month later at Sawmill to fight against The Epic Scout, another superhuman legend. The two engage with an epic fight, the Rabid Heavy's owner assisting it throughout, but it ultimately ends in a stalemate.

Appearance
The Rabid Heavy appears as a normal Heavy but is much taller, lacks a bandolier, has pale skin and glowing red eyes, dons the Warrior's Spirit (a pair of bear gloves) on, and has wolf hide adorning its head like a hood. (the K-9 Mane)

Abilities

 * Superhuman Durability: The Rabid Heavy is seemingly invincible, as it shrugged off a huge point-blank gas explosion.
 * Superhuman Strength: The Rabid Heavy is so physically powerful, it decapitated an entire row of grown-men with a single punch.
 * Sense of Smell: The Rabid Heavy's sense of smell is so keen it can easily sniff out cloaked spies.

Trivia

 * The Rabid Heavy is clearly inspired by The Tank from the Left 4 Dead series, as they are both hulking, mindlessly animalistic and bullet-proof juggernauts with pale skin and incredible gorilla-like strength. The Rabid Heavy even uses several sounds and animations straight from The Tank.
 * Although seemingly invincible and resistant, a shot from the Machina directed to his eye at close-range can kill him, as said by Crash Maul.
