Insectoids from Infestations may trigger traps, causing them to rush towards a random direction up to 100 tiles away in a single horde and then return when no hostile was found. It's best to let them retreat before striking again, to prevent them from rushing through the whole map as any tile they use to sleep will reset their range until they get back to their hives.

Insectoids are insect-like creatures.
- Megascarabs inhabit desert and extreme desert maps together with other animals, and are non-hostile unless harmed.
- All varieties may spawn from hives after an infestation appears. These will protect their hive by attacking any humans that ventures too close but keep to themselves otherwise.
- Insectoids may also be found in Ancient structures and within ancient crypto sleep caskets as well. Since the Ancient structures are usually under a mountain, Infestations can take place within as separate events.
- Insectoids were genetically engineered to fight Mechanoid invasions and thus the two factions are always hostile to one another.
A large, genetically-engineered beetle. Once the worker caste of an artificial ecosystem of insectoids designed to fight mechanoid invasions, it is now often seen without its deadlier insectoid cousins. Still, its size and hard shell make it dangerous when it attacks. A eusocial creature, it cannot reproduce individually.
A stasis cocoon containing a megascarab.
When conditions are inhospitable, insects sometimes form stasis cocoons and burrow underground. These cocoons keep insects safe from fire, extreme temperatures, and other threats for years.
Pollutants can stimulate cocoons and cause them to resurface, and strong pollutants can attract cocoons from great distances.
Cocoons do nothing if they are not disturbed. If a cocoon is disturbed or destroyed, the insect within will awaken and attack, triggering other nearby cocoons in the process.
Not actually a spider, the megaspider is a genetically-engineered giant insectoid the size of a bear. Designed for heavy work and combat, its thick chitinous armor makes it hard to kill, while its long ripper-blades make it deadly at close quarters. It is, however, quite slow in open terrain.

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.
