From Killing Floor Wiki
Specimens are the "zombies" of the game who have been experimented on by a group of scientists from Horzine Biotech, a biotechnology company in London, England. Apparently, something went horribly wrong (as said in the Trailer) during the cloning and bio engineering experiments and the specimens became extremely hostile, beyond their control. In the end, the lab got overrun and every living thing wiped out. In a matter of minutes, Horzine Biotech was already a living nightmare and soon, the specimens had already reached the city and destroyed civilisation. These specimens are not mutated physically but they are completely insane and lust for human flesh. The specimens also tend to feed on dead squad members which leads to the achievement, Dignity for the dead (Kill 10 specimens feeding on teammates).
Until today, the specimens have only been known as "failed cloning experiments" while nobody knows the reason why the scientist (the Patriarch) is physically mutated and mentally insane as people believe that he is one of the surviving scientists from Horzine Biotech itself. To add more evidence to this, the Patriarch also claims these specimens to be his "children" when the camera zooms on him on the last wave.
There are ten types of specimens which are very different from each other and each have different special abilities. Decapitating them will disable their special ability, this excludes the Patriarch, Scrake, and Siren who can only be decapitated as the killing blow.
