Game Unit

The Aleksander serves as a calldown for Alexei Stukov in Co-op Missions, appearing as an infested battlecruiser. It launches infested terran bombs as its anti-ground attack, and will attack air units with tentacles that do damage over time. At level 15 these tentacles can mind control air units with its attacks. The Aleksander also crashes when its life times out or it is destroyed, dealing damage to units underneath it and spawning infested terrans for a time.
