What makes Bloaters the most dangerous stage of infected in The Last of Us?

Bloaters possess immense strength and are armored with thick fungus. While a player may be able to survive being grappled by other infected, being caught by a bloater always results in death. They are also capable of throwing acidic spore bombs to attack players at a distance. Their armor and high health make them difficult to kill, often requiring multiple Molotov cocktails or high-powered weapons to take them down.

What is the difference between Shamblers and Bloaters in The Last of Us?

Shamblers in The Last of Us are vulnerable to precision damage due to the absence of fungal plates, unlike Bloaters. They are less powerful but more numerous, often appearing in packs. Rumored to have mutated from Bloaters due to Seattle's humid conditions, Shamblers are slower and lack the echolocation abilities of Bloaters, whose aggressive behavior, slow movement, and uncoordinated attacks are marked by their less refined echolocation skills caused by facial deformation and blindness from the fungus.

How is the rat king different from other infected in The Last of Us Part II?

The rat king is a unique infected entity in The Last of Us Part II. It is a super-organism composed of multiple stalkers, clickers, and a bloater that are joined together by the Cordyceps fungus. Once the player inflicts sufficient damage, one of the stalkers breaks off from the rat king's mass, forcing the player to contend with the bloater half's strength and the stalker half's ambushing behavior. This makes it one of the most formidable foes in the game, setting it apart from the standard infected enemies.
