 As they near the edge of the canyon they spot stickies, a particularly vicious breed of mutant so named because of the octopus-like suckers which coat their palms and other parts of their bodies, allowing them to grapple onto surfaces easily, as well as rip the flesh from a human body with trivial ease.The stickies are prone, overlooking the canyon and sighting on something, presumably J.B. and Mildred, through rifles.
