Trancer

Trancers were zombie-like sub-humans (nicknamed "squids") who pledged their lives to their power-hungry (and often psychic) leaders.

Trancers had no distinguishing physical traits until becoming savage when in "trancing" mode. According to trancer hunter Jack Deth, trancing only worked on people with weak minds, although a meteor, botany, and vampires were later discovered as means to convert people into trancers.

Trancers hunters could identify a trancer by scanning them with a special bracelet and then singe them using a heater, a plasma-powered gun. If killed while in trancing mode, their bodies would subsequently combust.
