They have more Health than regular Homies and take a longer time to faint. When they're called, they spawn in their own vehicle and drive to the player, and are automatically recruited when they exit their vehicle. These Homies can only be recruited via the "Homies" menu of the cellphone. Special Homies are Homies that are unlocked and added to the Cellphone throughout the game.
