Sound Whore

A nickname for the Death Angels or "Happy" from the 2018 film "A Quiet Place" as well as its sequels. Created by High Boi, the epic youtuber. This should be the official name for them, let's be honest.
Has an extremely advanced sense of hearing, but no sense of sight. It has an indestructible outer membrane but if one were to overstimulate its sense of hearing, its head will open up and expose a gamer's favourite weak point. They also cannot swim.

If a sound whore comes, play some earrape, then pull out the blicky and do a sticky.
