Name: Arachnid

Description: Imagine the visage of the dreaded “Man Scorpion”, but twisted beyond further believe. With the upper body of what appears to once by a Grenadier, and the lower half of a Scorpion.

The Upper half appears to have no face, just a gate wide open jaw that glows a bright green. Various scars, scratches and burn marks decorate it’s chest and stomach. It’s arms having been replaced with two scorpion pincers.
The lower half indeed resembling a Scorpion, complete with a stinger tail, “sacks” of Imulsion around it’s body and all the burn marks and scars to boot.

Weapons: Pincers, Stinger Tail, Sheer size

Bio: One of the newer mutations amongst the Lambent Army, only arising after the flooding of the Hollow. The Arachnid (real name unknown, dubbed by the COG) is a terrifying, but thankfully rare beast.

The Arachnid seems to serve a highly unique purpose, in that it acts as a guardian for “Bomb Burst” sites. These oversized abominations patrol the surrounding area of a site and ensure that no intruders attempt to destroy the Bomb Bursts.

Though it does not sport any salvaged Locust Beast Weaponry, and it does not appear to use any Lambent based projectiles, it is still imposing. Arachnids use their giant pincers and stinger tail to tear apart anything foolish enough to stand in it’s path. It’s not uncommon to see the classic scenario of the Arachnid using it’s stinger tail to pick up an enemy, then tear it asunder with it’s pincers.

Size wise, it’s difficult to put down. Fear factors may say that it’s Brumak sized, but of course that’s just the scares talking. Realistically, these beasts have been estimated as just a little bit shorter than the Locust Reaver.

Other Notes: It seems odd that such a beast would be used purely to guard AA sites, but there are many who believe that Arachnids serve more than just this. Many believe they act as guards for the Lambent’s mysterious “Chapel of Black Granite” as well…
The Arachnid - The Lambent's abominable take on the Man Scorpion.

Mostly, I was inspired by the Arachnids from Serious Sam 3, those guys were hardcore. xD
