From Dead Space wiki

Divider Biological information Distinctions Dividers are a combination of five appendages which form a tall, gaunt figure. Attacks Dividers use their claws to slash prey. They can choke and eventually decapitate their victims with a long, tongue like appendage. They can split apart into smaller, individual Necromorphs that are composed of miscellaneous body parts.

A Divider is an extremely tall, thin Necromorph that is fairly strong and hardy. Once slain, the head, arms and legs separate and become independent creatures. The Divider sub-sections are very fast and will damage and attempt to strangle you, but they are much weaker than the original Divider.

Dividers tend to be loners, but you'll occasionally encounter a pair, or a single Divider backed up by Exploders. Its components are strong when they are attacking and surprisingly weak after death.

[edit] Strategy

• Dividers are always heard shortly before they are encountered. Listen for a deep, loud bellow.

• When you come in contact with one, freeze it with Stasis and use the Flamethrower or Contact Beam to destroy it. The Flamethrower is best because it affects the whole body, and the Contact Beam knocks it down and can often take out the component creatures all at once with one blast. The Force Gun is effective, as it is easy to knock a Divider down - several shots will split it apart, and one more well-placed attack will destroy all of its remains at once.

[edit] Trivia

• Dividers can be easily anticipated due to their bellowing, frightening wails, which are quite similar to the vocalizations of the monsters in John Carpenter's film, The Thing .

[edit] Death Scenes

The Divider has two separate death scenes when it attacks Isaac.

• The Divider extends a long, thin appendage from its mouth, which wraps around Isaac's neck. If Isaac fails to remove the appendage in time, the Divider decapitates him.
• Upon splitting apart, the head component of the Divider can jump on Isaac and attempt to strangle him with its appendages, initiating an action sequence where Isaac pulls the offending appendage off and bashes it to death with his gun. If failed the appendage decapitates Isaac and feeds its tentacles into his body turning him into a new divider. Divider Isaac takes the twisted dangling appendage with it's hand, places in place of a now absent head and lumbers away.
