Darkseekers apparently also gain a heightened sense of smell, as Neville had to bleach the scent on his home's doorstep before sunset, and the female specimen was easily drawn by a sample of Neville's blood.ĭarkseekers also retain enough of their higher levels of intelligence to set up elaborate traps they have previously seen, such as snare traps.ĭarkseekers also possess adrenaline-superhuman strength as they can destroy the glass of Neville's SUV and smash its car doors.In the original ending of the movie, it was shown that all the bridges were destroyed except for the George Washington Bridge (GWB). They also still have some sort of emotions shown in the film when Neville takes a female infected and the "leader" is trying to get her back from Neville.ĭarkseekers scaling the walls of Neville's apartmentĪs their adrenal glands are constantly open, Darkseekers possess adrenaline-enhanced speed and endurance.
The intolerance of UV is also so extreme, exposure to sunlight for more than a matter of seconds can be fatal to a Darkseeker. Because of this intolerance of UV, Darkseekers are forced into a nocturnal life cycle lurking in dark, derelict buildings during the day, and only leaving at night. Another major symptom is a severe intolerance of UV radiation, causing sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet to burn Darkseekers. Other symptoms of KV include dilated pupils, inflamed gums, hair loss, albinism, and a primal state of madness.
The increased metabolism also speeds up Darkseekers' heart rate, breathing speed and body temperature, and makes them constantly hyperventilate. Darkseekers' adrenal glands give them increased mobility. While those infected with KV who survive it develop primal behavior upon succumbing to the virus and becoming a Darkseeker, they do retain enough of their higher intelligence to build and copy complex traps they have previously seen. They are the humans susceptible to the Krippin Virus who were infected but did not die from it. Darkseekers are Mutants in the 2007 film adaption, I Am Legend.
