Verdugo (Earth-6738)

The Verdugos (Spanish for Executioner), were two xeno-organic weapons created by the Los Iluminados cult to serve as the personal bodyguards of Lord Ramon Salazar.

History
There were only two Verdugos in existence, both created by the Los Iluminados through a fusion of human and insect DNA through the genetic engeneering of the Plaga extraterrestrial organism. They were readily relocated to serve as the personal bodyguards of Lord Ramon Salazar, hiding their heavily mutated and horrific appearance beneath voluminous religious cloaks, one in red and the other in black.

After Rick Deckard survived a booby trap set by Salazar in the Salazar Temple, the irritated lord sent the red-cloaked Verdugo in the hopes it would kill Deckard once and for all in the sewer system. There, the human and the alien fought, but the former Hadley's Hope Police officer was able to kill it by spraying the creature with liquid nitrogen and destroying it to pieces.

Later, the black-cloaked Verdugo stood at Salazar's side, and fused with its master and the Plaga Keymind to kill Deckard.
