Stickies are one of the most hated and feared mutant race found in the deathlands. They are a vile, vicious group who revel in torture, mutilation and pain. For some unknown reason, they are attracted to fire and explosions, which throw them into what can be only described as a near sexual frenzy. They use both extensively in their tortures.

Physically, stickies are similar in height and build to regular humans. But that is where the similarities end. The faces are lipless, revealing sharp, serrated teeth. The nose is nearly non-existent, just a couple of slits on the face. The eyes are large and uniformly a glossy black, almost like a shark.

The most distinguishing feature of a sticky are the hands and feet. They are covered in tiny, mouth like suckers that are lined with tiny, sharp teeth. When a sticky grabs something, it is all but impossible to break its grip without tearing the skin of the victim at the same time. It is not unknown for a sticky to grab a humans face, then jerk its hand back savagely, tearing away the skin and leaving behind a grinning skull.

The vast majority of stickies are of near animal intelligence. A number of stickies however, have proven to be as intelligent as normal humans, or in at least one case, near genius intelligence. It is speculated that a sticky with this intelligence may be a hybrid from a rape.
