AnimalInsect

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

Summary

They 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), 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. 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.
