While most Necromorph strains come in "regular" and "Super" varieties, there are three different Slasher variants: The spinal cord grows exceedingly large and protrudes out of the victim's back, and also forces the neck of the victim to hunch. The type of Slasher depends on which sex the Slasher's body originated from. The male Slasher focuses entirely on melee combat and charges at Isaac Clarke, blades flailing, whereas the female Slasher (known as the Spitter in Dead Space 2) is a more conservative aggressor, and instead of charging in blindly, it is capable of (but not limited to) spitting toxic acid from a distance. The Super, or Enhanced, Slasher is the ultimate variant of the Slasher. Possessing far more durability, the Super Slashers also deal increased damage and are faster than normal Slashers.
In addition to these advantages, the Super Slasher can also regenerate dismembered limbs over time, and can have sudden bursts of speed and attack in short flurries, as well as having the ability to spit, similar to the female Slasher.

Interview with the Art Director Ian Milhan.Here is some of the concept and poster art for the game which has now been released on Xbox 360 and will be out tomorrow (24th Oct) for PC and PS3.
You can find more resources and links at the end of this post and see my previous review with a inside developer’s video to find out more about the game. The game has been likened to the loneliness of Metroid Prime combined with the survival horror of Resident Evil – which is totally a winning fomula for me. The game borrows elements from a few sci-fi cult films like The Thing and Alien, for instance, but unlike a lot of games that take and take, this one gives back in the shed load. Dead Space’s reference makes for an interesting style and therefore some amazing concept art has been created. I am getting really excited about Dead Space from seeing some of the awesome concept art that has been shown.
