Ku Klux

The Ku Klux Klan are monsters that are not listed on the white board betting pool but appear in the Facility.

They are first seen in their glass cube waiting for release, and then are vaguely seen running amok in The Facility during the Purge.

KKK, mutant

Ku Klux Klan, and mutants

Appearance and Characteristics

They are depicted as normal yet dirty looking Ku Klux Klan members. Two are wearing the iconic white robes while the third is dressed in a red robe, one of the colors of Klan leadership. One is seen holding a noose, indicating their form of attack on victims prefers hanging. This would be an obvious reference to the lynchings of African Americans they were known to commit.

Unlike most of the other captive monsters and creatures in the facility, they are not thrashing about and banging on the walls of their cube and are seen waiting calmly for their release. Regardless, they most likely fall under the psychopath category of monsters provided they're merely unbalanced humans and not mutants or zombies underneath.

It is unknown what object summons them, possibly a Noose.

Inspiration

The Ku Klux Klan is based on an actual American white-supremacist, white-nationalist terrorist organization that has its origins in the Civil War under Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Briefly inactive during the turn of the century due to anti-terrorist bills created under President Ulysses Grant to deter Confederate-sympathetic groups, the group was well known for murders, larceny, arson and violence from the Thirties to the Sixties up to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which they vehemently oppose, resulting in several of the racist "Dixiecrats" of the South to switch the Republican party because "it was more in tune with their beliefs." They are still active in the United States, pre-dominantly in the Southeast..
