Choker

The choker is a variant strain of the infestor. During the Second Great War, a number of them were spawned on Meinhoff.

Game Unit
The choker appears in the map Left 2 Die as a zerg NPC unit. It is more offensive-based than the infestor, capable of engaging enemies directly. It has a tentacle attack that shoots up to 5 tentacles that drag targets towards it, doing damage over time.

The choker counters bunkers and planetary fortresses since chokers out range both and deal additional damage versus structures.

The only semi-effective counters versus chokers are barracks units stimmed with medics to focus fire them or well-placed siege tanks.

Trivia
As Left 2 Die is based on Left 4 Dead, so to is the choker likely based on the smoker.
