What's in a Shambler's hide? - QuakeOne

In my opinion it looks like pale skin, but I think Lovecraft's dimensional shamblers were hairy weren't they?

edit: But then again the dimensional shamblers were black, not white.

Definetely fur. I have always thought that Shamblers looked fuzzy and nice to hug since I started playing Quake when I was 5, LOL.

I always pictured the Shambler like those snow creatures from Star Wars - when Luke cuts it open to use it as protection from the weather...

Most definitely fur. The slick "just gelled down" kind.

Lol yeah I always thought of them looking like those creatures from Star Wars.

Unfortunately no distinction on the feathers part... I've never heard that idea before.
