These unfortunate victims of the Healing Church's shady experiments comprise the largest and most diverse enemy group in the expansion areas. Each variant uses a different set of attacks from the others and many of them incorporate gimmicks unique to their own subtype; most are susceptible to interrupts and staggers, but the Crawling version is immune. Additionally, although very few opportunities for exploiting this mechanic exist, the Clocktower Patients are handled as an opposing team type to the Wheelchair Huntsmen found in certain locations throughout the Research Hall; notably, a Wheelchair Huntsman armed with a Gatling gun is positioned on an inaccessible ledge overlooking a staircase and will mow down a group of patients attempting to climb the stairs as you approach. Fortunately, with the exception of the patients armed with transfusion stands, members of this enemy group generally have low health and will fall to a few R1 attacks; the main danger they pose is their tendency to attack in large groups with swift combos, so keep an ear out for their telltale screams and proceed with caution if you suspect an ambush.

They have no means of detecting players other than by direct contact and will roam aimlessly about until struck, at which point they will take a swing in the general direction of the attack and immediately return to wandering around. These enemies are effectively harmless and can be completely ignored without fear of reprisal, though they might be better served by a merciful coup de grâce.

As these enemies will completely ignore player characters unless attacked first, they can be slaughtered with impunity using any desired means. Their feeble counterattacks can be interrupted and they can be staggered from behind with charged attacks, but a simple (R1) combo is more than enough to put them out of their misery.

	Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective.
	Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.
