'''Viscous''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a vexing opponent with versatile goo abilities, a psychic sea anemone with an ectoplasmic goo body. 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 [[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 psychic 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.
