Hunter heard rumors about Dark Ones in whole metro and he decided to act. Hunter told Artyom about reason responsible to his appearance. He stranger introduced himself as 'Hunter' (very uncommon in Moscow metro) and after long discussion with Artyom's stepfather he asked Artyom, if he can accompany him for moment. When Artyom's patrol ended, he encountered stranger at the station. They were defeated only due to fact, that humans has got weapons - rifles, machine guns and pistols, from which every Dark One received 'check shot' from three meters straight to the head. Artyom (main protagonist of the novel) remembered his fight with Dark Ones - they attacked outpost of VDNKh. Role in the novelДark Ones were first mentioned in book during the patrol in tunnel leading to north. Others, however, think that they are new subspecies of the genus Homo and our closest living relatives, just like the Neanderthals were. Some people believe that they are the next step in human evolution (Homo Novus). They are able to induce fear telepathically to scare their enemies away and they are also able to literally вЂњthinkвЂќ their enemies to death or into a comatose state. They are able to create realistic illusions by manipulating the mind of their target, or sending him into a dream-like state. However, their telepathic powers are too strong for humans, and if they try to communicate with them without properly controlling these powers, they will inadvertently destroy the mind of the human who will slowly slip into insanity and die. The Dark Ones are not capable of vocal communication, but they are able to communicate telepathically amongst themselves and with other beings. In novel they also possesed tentacles (or antennaes) on head, but in game they lacked them. However, the Dark Ones seem to have a hard time controlling the mind of other sentient beings, like Humans, who have the will power to fight off their telepathic influence. They look weaker than other mutants, but the Dark Ones have extremely powerful telepathic powers and seem to be able to exert some telepathic control over other mutants. They are highly resistant to radiation, cold temperatures, and have extra-sensory perception. However, the Dark Ones are much better adapted to the recently ravaged post-apocalyptic world.
