The head attempts to suffocate the victim by latching onto one's neck and, once the victim is weak, it uses its powerful appendages to cut off the head from the rest of the victim's body and hijack it with its arms, taking control of the host's nervous system presumably by attaching itself into the spine. Its arms and legs are used to crawl and leap on different surfaces, as well as to strangle its victims. The mutation has allowed the arms and legs to become self-aware, able to move on their own once the host body has been destroyed. The Divider uses a long tongue to strangle its victims, and also uses its arms to slash its victims to death, though it prefers to suffocate them with the tongue from a long distance if possible. Despite this, the Divider is an audibly loud creature, emitting deep whale-like bellows when idle and high-pitched shrieks when agitated. Because the major organs are missing, the abdomen has been exposed, creating a large hole in the torso. Most of the muscle has fallen off, with just enough left to hold the Necromorph together. The limbs have been elongated and become very slender, while the fingers have fused together into elongated claws. The major organs have fallen out or been assimilated, along with most of the skin tissue. However, the ones met aboard Titan Station were seemingly created from scientists who were wearing a white lab-coat. The Dividers encountered on the USG Ishimura are composed of deceased high-ranking officers of the ship, judging by the tatters of blue clothing. Concept art of the Divider in Dead Space (2023).
