The Vulcanblubber is a hulking Afflicted, although it is significantly larger and much more durable. It was tortured and its head was wrapped in bandages and encased in an iron cage. It carries a large urn containing an explosive substance which it can ignite using its torch, turning the substance into makeshift mortars.
While the Vulcanblubber has poor thinking abilities due to the damage done to its neocortex, it still possesses enough intelligence to fire its cannon. Considering its abnormally enlarged physique, it is likely that the subject was biologically modified by various drugs in addition to t-Phobos Virus.[excerpt 1]
↑Excerpt from Ultimania: "ウィルスに感染させられ発症した人間には、大脳新皮質が死滅してしまうためか高次思考能力がいっさい残されていない。しかしこの大型アフリくテッドには、与えられた火筒型の大砲に着火して火炎弾を射出するという複雑な攻撃行動をとれるだけの知能は残されている。耐久力もず抜けており、異常に肥大した体格を考慮すると、素体となった被験者はウィルス以外にもさまざまな薬物によって生体改造を受けたものと思われる。"
