CODEX

So named for its terrifying leer, the Rictus (AKA 'the Sawman') lives to divide and conquer its foes - literally.

The Ghoul Rictus is a Grineer Ghoul armed with a Ghoulsaw Ghoulsaw. These saws can be ejected similar to the Panthera Panthera's Alternate Fire, traveling a distance before returning to them. The Rictus also has the uncanny ability to ride on the ejected saws, allowing them to approach and ram their enemies from afar. As with all Ghouls, on death they will release a cloud that inflicts Cold Damage Cold and Toxin Damage Toxin.

Behaviour

Depending on their distance from the players, they'll often start by shooting their saw off, flying off a distance before traveling back to them. Then they will quickly ride their saw towards the player, attempting to ram them in the process.

CODEX

This specimen shows evidence of advanced cognitive abilities and greater, if rudimentary, situational analysis. Cold blooded and ruthless, it is easy to see how this specimen led its pack so ably.
