Pregnants in Dead Space 3 are different in appearance from previous games. Pregnants, unlike most Necromorphs, do not commonly travel in packs, however they do tend to travel with other Necromorphs. Unlike Lurkers, Pregnants can really wreak havoc when they have Slashers or other Necromorph forms accompanying them.

As a result, although their weight hinders their speed, they can move at a brisk enough pace to out-walk their target when they are determined. In order to accommodate its great weight, a Pregnant's legs have become shorter in order to balance the creature by lowering its center of mass, and the overall leg structure has been altered. Their abdominal sacs usually host Swarmers or Swarm but sometimes they may carry deadlier payloads of Necromorphs, including Lurkers as well as small creatures composed of miscellaneous body parts, identical to those that come from Dividers. When heavily damaged, Pregnants tend to claw open their own abdominal sacs in order to release their spawn in an effort to ensure their victim's demise. This sac hosts smaller Necromorphs inside of it.

The host's human arms appear fused into the massive sac that has developed on the torso. This Necromorph sports two massive arms coming out from its back, each ending in a large bone-like scythe, which is used to slash and rend an opponent in the same manner as a Slasher does. The skull's lower jaw has been detached, and what appear to be tentacles now hang from the mouth.

Pregnants appear to be created from a single human corpse, albeit one that has been radically mutated. Dead Space Pregnant + Swarmer Necromorph Sounds HDĬoncept art of the Pregnant in Dead Space (2023).
