Locust

The locust is a unit spawned by the swarm host while it is burrowed. They can be produced in large waves to besiege enemy bases. Locusts have ranged attacks but can only target ground units.

The swarm host creates 2 locusts every 25 seconds.

Development
Locusts used to be able to target air units.

Portrait
