Crawlers are the most commonly encountered subspecies of the Kryll swarm. Roughly the size of a large dog and moving with unsettling speed, these hostile arthropods serve as the front line of most hive defenses. Grunts rarely stray far from their hive nests/structures unless disturbed, but will aggressively pour out from egg clusters and tunnel-vents when they sense danger.

Grunts possess no ranged attacks and rely entirely on numbers and speed. While their claws and mandibles deal low individual damage, they become a real threat when attacking in packs

Grunts have low health and paper-thin armor plating. However, their movements and tendency to climb walls can make getting away from them difficult.

Notable Traits:

Emerge from Hive Eggs or spawn tunnels

Travels in groups, flanks targets

Weak individually, deadly in swarms

Vulnerable to AoE and stun effects
