Toughspike

Toughspikes are entities, and type of fleshbeast, added by the Anomaly DLC.

Occurrence[edit]

Toughspikes can occur in most instances that fleshbeasts generally do, including Fleshbeast attacks, in the Undercave, erupting from a Bulbfreak or Dreadmeld, as the result of Draw fleshbeasts, present at Distress call quest sites, and as a result of the twisted obelisk's random mutations of wildlife.^[Which?]

Summary[edit]

The most robust fleshbeast. Their ranged attack is strongest so it's best to engage in melee if you can't outrange them. They don't split into smaller fleshbeasts and they are the only fleshbeast that will leave a corpse when killed.

Analysis[edit]

The closest thing that fleshbeasts have to a tanky unit, toughspikes are relatively robust in physiology compared to any other fleshbeast that isn't a dreadmeld, about on par with a human.

Their damage output isn't very high, so most melee-focused pawns can fight a toughspike one-on-one. However, as is the case when engaging in melee with any fleshbeast, colonists that suffer any injury from it will become vectors for a new metalhorror infection to start.

Among entities, Toughspikes are unique for the ease with which they can be permanently immobilized for risk-free bioferrite collection. See the Bioferrite page for further details.
