Assault Drone
Of all the horrors witnessed by those who oppose the Chaos Empire and survive for long enough to tell the tales, the worst ever recorded might be these floating metallic beasts that resemble serpents in shape and insects in appearance, with their large and strong claws capable of slicing men in half with barely any effort.
These hard-shelled abominations known as ‘Shaxthals’ or ‘biomechanicals’ are highly resistant to damage dealt with mundane weaponry unless hit in the small gaps of flesh found in their joints. To make things worse for unexperienced soldiers, they are also able to fire powerful lightbeams from their eyes which can shatter metal and rock on impact.
Special Notes: The victims of this unit’s poison will continually take damage until they can be cured in town or by a unit which cures. This unit can move unseen in deep water, requiring no air from the surface.
