The Fear appears in the game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. He is the "Spider Soldier" of the Cobra Unit.
He is known for his superhuman speed, strength and agility, as well as his freakish, fearsome appearance. His elbows are double jointed, and he has a long, lizard-like tongue, forked through surgery, that he can use to grasp objects. Capable of dislocating his joints at will, he is able to crawl, flip, and leap extremely quickly in the manner of a spider, and also climb and jump around in trees with ease, and also uses a variety of lines to enhance his mobility.
As with the other members of the Cobra unit, his codename comes from the emotion he feels while on the battlefield.
[edit] Tactics
The Fear is armed with two crossbows. The larger of the two is called the William Tell, and the smaller is called the Little Joe. Some of their bolts are coated with the venom of a number of poisonous animals. One that hits Snake in a cutscene is said to be coated with the venom of the Brazilian Wandering Spider. He also employs grenade arrows, as well as ones that burst into flames upon impact. Due to his speed, strength and flexibility, his is also extremely formidable at unarmed combat.
To inspire fear in his enemies, The Fear uses stealth camouflage, which renders him virtually invisible by bending light around his body, this is used as a play on the famous film "Predator", in which an alien equipped with a stealth camoflage suit attacks a group of soldiers in the middle of a forest. He is also a master at creating boobytraps, and many are set in the area of the jungle where he battles Naked Snake.
[edit] Operation Snake Eater
He was ultimately defeated by Snake. Upon his defeat, he detonates the Microbomb all Cobras were equipped with, destroying himself in a lethal shower of his remaining crossbow bolts.
