THE DESTROYERS OF YOU. NEAR THREE TIMES AS FAST AS YOU AND A HELL OF A LOT MORE ANNOYING...

THEY ARE THE MOST ADVANCED STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT SEEN. THEY HAVE ADVANCED HEAT VISION AND SOME CAN COUGH UP FLAMING MUCUS.

THEIR FRONT LIMBES DEGENERATE INTO MEER TOOLS OF MANIPULATION. BUT THEIR HIND LIMBS HAVE DEVELOPED INTO THICK MUSCULAR PUMPS THAT CAN OUT RUN NEAR ANY- THING.

LIKE ALL THE ORGANICS, THE COPPER COLORED ONES ARE IMMUNE TO FIRE

NOTES FROM IAN: I BUILT THESE BECUASE I WAS SICK OF ALL THE SLOW CREATURES IN THE PREVIOUS MARATHON GAMES. YOU KNOW...THE ONES THAT YOU BACK PEDDLE AWAY FROM WHILE PUMPING ROUNDS OF WSTM INTO 'EM. NOW THESE CAN TAKE THE SHOTS AND LAP YOU A FEW TIMES BEFORE RENDING YOU HORRIBLY...

RENDERED ON STRATA AND TOUCHED UP ON PHOTOSHOP 5.0.2 THEY ARE MY FAVORITE CREATURES...THEIR RUNNING ANIMATION IS SMOOTH (6 FRAMES) AND LOOKS THE MOST LIVING OF ALL THE CREATURES.
