'''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.


A psychic sea anemone with an ectoplasmic goo body, '''Viscous''' is a vexing opponent with versatile goo abilities. He can Splatter his foes with a large ball of goo and Puddle Punch both allies and enemies to knock them around, while encasing himself or allies in a Cube of goo for protection. For maximum disruption, Viscous can morph into a large Goo Ball and bounce off of walls and enemies alike.


Viscous is a vigilante sea anemone that fears a dark, dangerous predator that prowls the depths under the Bermuda Triangle. 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.  
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.
 
Viscous was released on [[Update:August 1, 2024|August 1, 2024]].

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_viscous}}
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.

{{Quotation||
{{Fates_Tale|viscous}}
'''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.}}
