Amputees are somewhat weak enemies that appear in the original Painkiller. All they can really do to attack you is do a standing leap to hit you and if they are near the player they will puke which causes damage. They have a tendency to spawn in dark, cramped spaces, such as sewers and single rooms, where their low stature can unintentionally hide their presence. They appear in two variants, and they both act the same.

The first version appears in the Asylum, and they look like mental patients with their hands and feet chopped off, ending in bloody stumps. Traces of trepanation of the skull are visible on the head. The scars on the body are sewn with metal staples.
Some of the ones in the Asylum can, interestingly, hang on the ceiling. Pulling them off with the Painkiller WILL hurt you if their corpse hits you. When the player passes under them, they fall on the player from above, thereby causing damage. But when they fall, they themselves die.

The second version looks similar to the first, but instead of wearing a patient suit, they wear brown, ragged clothes and are marked with strange symbols. These appear in the Town, and the first batch you encounter in the inner square with coffins are actually harmless. But the rest of them in the Town are aggressive.
They appear in the Asylum and the Town in Painkiller as well as in Field Ambulance in Painkiller: Overdose and in Dead Warehouse in Painkiller: Recurring Evil.
