Added DiffLines:
[[folder:Harbinger ('''SPOILERS''')]]
The final boss of the ''River of Blood'' [=DLC=] campaign, and of the game as a whole. It's a humongous creature, somewhat smaller than the Abomination but similar in appearance, that the Children of the Worm have apparently created to use to cleanse the world of the uninfected.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: It's only vulnerable in a single weak spot just under its neck, however this is only exposed periodically during the fight.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: A number of [=LAW=] rocket launchers are scattered around the arena that you can use to fight the Harbinger. There's an achievement for beating it without using the rocket launchers.
* FinalBoss: With ''River of Blood'' being the game's final campaign [=DLC=], the Harbinger serves as the final boss of the game as a whole.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Hieroglyph-like murals depicting the Mother of Worms worshipping the Harbinger can be found in the ''Children of the Worm'' [=DLC=].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The Harbinger is too heavily armored for you to kill by yourself, but shooting its weak spot enough causes it to go berserk and start smashing the arena, eventually causing the jumbotron above it and various support girders to fall onto its head and impale and kill it.
* {{Kaiju}}: Not as big as the Abomination, but its torso alone is still quite a bit larger than an Ogre.
* MindControl: The Children of the Worm have implanted scaled-up versions of the electrodes that Tala uses to control Jeff in the Harbinger's head, allowing them to control it.
* SequentialBoss: The Harbinger is fought 3 times in sequence; unlike the Abomination, each phase is more or less the same, although each takes place in a different section of the arena bleachers, and the Harbinger doesn't use its spike attack until the second phase.
* StationaryBoss: Its torso is embedded in the floor of the sports arena the Children of the Worm are apparently growing it in. It attacks by spitting large boulders of goo or spraying a barrage of surfboard-sized exploding spikes at you.
