The Half-Cocooned is an enemy encountered in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina.

Location

Multiple Half-Cocooned are present in the western ruins of Prehevil (Inner City). One will spawn at the by the staircase if you enter the three-story apartment building south of the Orphanage. At the locked gate south of the Orphanage, starting Day 2 a Half-cocooned can corner the player. If this happens, August will shoot them to death. The corpse will then be available for looting.

If they spot the player in overworld, they may attempt to charge them, sprinting extremely quickly at the player. If they succeed in catching them, they will force them into a coin flip attack upon beginning combat, dealing high damage if the player fails.

Strategy

Half-cocooned men possess two "meat mallets" and one grossly smooth and enlarged arm, seemingly overtaken by scar tissue. They are capable of attacking with both arms each turn, so picking off one of the arms with any guns or the pistol with the Gunslinger skill in the overworld before entering combat will significantly reduce the damage your party will take each round.

Destroying a half-cocooned's lower "mallet" will cause his head to become vulnerable the next turn, even if his legs are still intact. Depending on the size of your party, it may be possible to two-turn or one-turn a half-cocooned man by having the protagonist focus on that while a second party member targets the head.

Only piercing and otherwordly attacks seem to penetrate the shell.” If Daan is in the party: “This person has started to cocoon into something.
