'''Viscous''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He's green.<ref name=":0">[[Update:August 1, 2024]]</ref> A psychic sea anemone in a protoplasmic suit, Viscous can throw '''[[Viscous#Splatter|Splatter]]''' to cover the area in green goo which slows down his victims and leaves them vulnerable to '''[[Viscous#Puddle Punch|Puddle Punches]]''', which will knock his enemies away from their friends and his friends away from their enemies. Even if they manage to catch Viscous it doesn't matter, as anything inside '''[[Viscous#The Cube|The Cube]]''' is completely invulnerable. Soon '''[[Viscous#Goo Ball|Goo Ball]]''' comes, and walls painted green will be joined by echoes of screams.


'''Viscous''' is a playable hero in ''[[Deadlock]]'', added on August 1, 2024.<ref>https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/08-01-2024-update.13369/</ref>


Viscous is a kind, if not childish psychic sea anemone whose home in the Bermuda Triangle has been invaded by a mysterious, dangerous predator only known as the Adversary. He reached the surface in a body built from ectoplasmic goo; his mission to summon the [[Patron]]s to protect his home in the Deep.

== Background ==
{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
 
The Bermuda Triangle was never a myth, it was a shadowline nexus deep underneath the Atlantic Ocean. For the most part, the things that escaped this astral gate were benign (like Nessie), but now something dark and predatory hunts the seas... and its denizens are scared to death.
 
One of those inhabitants, a psychic sea anemone, wants to do something about it. Psychically building itself an ectoplasmic goo body so it can survive on the surface, Viscous desperately is trying to summon The Patrons to keep The Deep safe from the adversary that lurks below.}}

Deep Sea Interpreter has an alternate fire mode, which releases a larger projectile that explodes in a small area of effect upon collision, or after flying for long enough. This alt-fire takes {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Viscous|AmmoConsumedPerShot}} ammo rounds per shot and deals {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Viscous|BulletDamage}}{{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|Viscous|Level|BulletDamageAltFire}} damage on a direct hit. The alt-fire mode can be used even with fewer than 5 rounds of ammo, and still deals its full damage.

* Puddle Punch can be parried, preventing the player from being pushed and taking damage. Viscous does not get stunned if Puddle Punch is parried.
** Parrying Puddle Punch procs {{ItemIcon|Rebuttal}}.

== Trivia ==
- Fixed {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Puddle Punch|Size=20}} '''Puddle Punch''' Being able to target behind puddle.
* He's green.<ref name=":0" />
* Viscous was the first new hero to be added in ''Deadlock'' after the start of the playtest.
* Viscous' current model is a modified version of [[Kelvin|Kelvin's]] old model from ''[[Neon Prime]]''.
** Viscous' head was changed from black to green in the [[Update:September 26, 2024|2024-09-26 Update]], because his old icon was easily confused with {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}.
** A work-in-progress alternate model can be found in the files, labeled '''Viscous v2''', in which he is a large man with a coral arm and an octopus-like creature in his head.
** A new model labeled '''Viscous_tourist''', in which he wears shorts, sunglasses, an orange cap and a portable camera, has also been referenced in the files and leaked in images in June 2025. The current icon for Goo Ball shows the camera, glove and boot from this new model.
* In ''Neon Prime'', Viscous was a pufferfish in a suit, instead of a sea anemone.
* "Wishing the Hideout was The Cube" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Viscous in the [[Hideout]].
