HBO's The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann recalls his emotional reaction to seeing Clickers in real life. Druckmann was one of the original creators behind the Last of Us video game. Like the show, the game centers on the relationship between survivors Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they traverse a post-apocalyptic United States filled with humans who have been transformed into grotesque creatures by a fungal infection. One iconic stage of the infection is the Clicker, a monster blinded by fungal growths sprouting from their head that must use clicking sounds for echolocation to allow them to navigate their surroundings and seek out their next victim.
