A determined sophomore who forged permission slips and borrowed formal wear to sneak into the senior prom, desperate to experience the glamour they felt excluded from. When the demonic invasion began, their youth and inexperience made them particularly susceptible to corruption, but also freed them from understanding the 'rules' that even demons follow. Now they roam the desert hellscape as a savage wildcard, their desperate desire to belong twisted into a violent need to make everyone else as lost and outcast as they once felt.

Despite their smaller stature, the Savage Sophomore possesses disproportionate supernatural strength and speed that comes from unbridled demonic energy unchecked by experience or wisdom. Their borrowed formal wear hangs awkwardly on their frame, now torn and stained with evidence of their savage encounters across the desert battlefield. They wield improvised weapons crafted from prom decorations and course debris, showing a creativity born from desperation rather than calculated malice, making their attacks unpredictable and particularly dangerous. Their youthful energy, now corrupted, allows them to maintain relentless pursuit when others would tire.

The Savage Sophomore serves as an unpredictable chaos agent who disrupts both survivor strategies and demonic hierarchies through their refusal to follow established rules of engagement. Their savage innocence makes them equally likely to attack possessed entities who try to command them as it does survivors who underestimate their threat level.
