Sightstealer
Emaciated and misshapen humanoids. Their arms end in sharp, curled claws formed from bioferrite. Sightstealers are fragile, but use psychic influence to render themselves invisible until they get close to their victims. They are known to emit haunting screams as they gather on their terrible hunts.

The sightstealer is an entity added by the Anomaly DLC. It is likely to be one of the first anomalous entities a colony will encounter.
Occurrence[edit]
Sightstealers appear in the sightstealer arrival event. After being downed, they can be captured for other uses.
Summary[edit]
Relatively weak entities that feel pain, bleed, and are susceptible to disease. Sightstealers will trigger proximity detectors when in range. However, the proximity detector will not reveal it. They can also walk through traps without triggering them. They will make a howling sound effect even when invisible, you can listen for this sound to detect them instead of using a proximity detector.
Invisible sightstealers are revealed when they take damage, or get hit by firefoam or EMP explosion. Sightstealers also do not trigger traps regardless of their current visibility.
Yield[edit]
Contained Sightstealers yield 1.6 bioferrite per day when attached to a Bioferrite harvester.
Containment[edit]
The Sightstealer is fairly weak, requiring only 30 containment strength. This means you can use wooden walls and a basic holding spot to contain it with minimal risk.
Analysis[edit]
A Sightstealer is one of the easiest anomalies to capture and contain that could be technically considered dangerous. Effectively a blessing to most colonies, providing an easy source of beginning research. Their weakness and stealth give them practically no defensive application.
Sightstealers are extremely vulnerable to fire. A pawn armed with an incendiary launcher, molotov cocktails, or incinerator can easily cripple even a pack of sightstealers. If the colony contains a mechanitor
, scythers, scorchers, tesserons, and centipede burners are effective counters. If a sightstealer howls, drafted mechanoids are valid targets for the sightstealers, and they will reveal themselves to attack. This can be used to force sightstealers to become visible before they draw close to colonists.
