- Ridden
- Armored Ridden
- Charred Ridden
- Blighted Ridden
- Jogger Swarm
- Runners
- Sprinters
- Shambling Ridden Swarm

Crushers
Crushers are aggressive Special Ridden that can capture isolated Cleaners in their arm and squeeze them to death.
Stingers
Stingers are nimble Special Ridden that can spit acidic projectiles to encumber Cleaners. They are far more agile and mobile than other Special Ridden and are capable of leaping onto and climbing walls to reach their target.
Stalkers

Reekers
Reekers are heavily-bloated Special Ridden that can cover Cleaners in their entrails upon their death, summoning a horde of Ridden to attack. They have a heavier build than other Special Ridden, which also reflects on their inferior mobility.

Retches
Retches are nauseating Special Ridden that can spit acidic bile to create deadly hazards. Their bile will leave a temporary pool of acid in its wake that will deal continuous damage to Cleaners standing in it.
