Parasites are tier-I units of the Hive faction. They can be recruited from Neglected Housing.
They can be upgraded into the Warden Parasite or Ravager Parasite.
Description
Parasites are an easy — but nonetheless horrendous — way to create the Hive’s foot soldiers. Attaching themseves to unfortunate passersby, they gain a sturdy, disposable host. Although the host does not possess exceptional agility, it still allows the parasites to be effective in melee, while their own bodies are predisposed to engage the enemy at short distance.
