Spelopede

Spelopede

A medium-sized bioengineered insectoid the size of a sheep. The spelopede is the middle caste of a hive, taking care of most work tasks as well as fighting with its digging claws. It's dangerous in combat, but slow on open ground.

Spelopedes are giant, bio-engineered, subterranean invertebrates and the middle of the three insectoid types in both size and danger.

Summary[edit]

Spelopedes can inhabit any terrain where an infestation has spawned. They are dangerous in combat, but slow on open ground.

Their body is composed of a head, head claw, mouth, pronotum, shell, elytras (left and right), and two pairs of legs (front and back).

All insectoids, including the spelopede, experience hypothermic slowdown instead of fatal hypothermia, have 100% Toxic Resistance, rendering them immune to toxic buildup from any source, and 80% Toxic Environment Resistance, rendering them resistant to environmental effects such as rot stink. They experience also pollution stimulus when in polluted terrain.Content added by the Biotech DLC See that page for full details.

Insectoids are incapable of sexual reproduction like other animals, due to their breeding type (EusocialInsect). Instead, wild insects reproduce via hives which create new insectoids periodically, up to a maximum value each hive can support. Tamed insectoids cannot reproduce at all. For more detail, see the Hive page.

Analysis[edit]

Spelopedes are between megaspiders and megascarabs, with in-the-middle speed and health.

There usually isn't much point in taming one, since if you can tame a spelopede, you could've tamed the stronger megaspider instead. Megaspiders are stronger in combat, though have more wildness and move 0.05 c/s slower. And if you really wanted a hauling animal, there are many options that don't start hostile to you.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
