It took a 6'6" stunt performer and an 80-pound suit to bring The Last of Us' Bloater to life
A new behind-the-scenes video reveals how HBO pulled together The Last of Us' fifth episode, including how it brought the game's terrifying Bloaters to life in the show.
Created by four-time Emmy-winner prosthetics designer Barrie Gower – who also created some of the most memorable creatures in shows like Stranger Things and Game of Thrones – the Bloater suit weights an astonishing 40 kilos (88 pounds) and was worn by the 6'6" British stuntperson, Adam Basil.
"The suit would be very soft, but very slimy and wet," Gower told Variety. "We covered him in this gel-like solution, which gave him a gloss to all the fungus. We had lots of little spines and spiky hairs punched into his body, like little growths burrowing out.
