Graft-Breacher
It walks past you to get to the wall. Then it shears the wall apart.
Threat Dossier
A living siege engine grown through the frame of a conquered industrial machine — pistons, hull plating, hydraulic limbs, all rewired by parasite tissue. Whatever it was built to do is gone for good. What's left is a slow, armored melee wrecker that ignores soft targets entirely and tears through towers, walls, and barricades until nothing's standing. It's the close-range twin of the Rot-Engine: where that thing dissolves a fortification from range, the Graft-Breacher just walks up and rips it open.
Threat Read
- Advances at a methodical pace while swarm units route around it to fill the gap it punches.
- Prioritizes structures over infantry — towers, walls, and barricades draw aggression first.
- A massive demolition-claw shears fortified material apart in two or three swings.
- Heavily armored from the front; the soft parasite mass on its back takes bonus damage, so flanking is the answer — but kill the demo arm and it erupts a staggering tendril burst.
Recognize It
- Heavy machine frame consumed from within, metal seams split by chitin
- One oversized demolition-claw vs. a wet tendril cluster on the opposite limb
- Toxic-green nodes where the gauge panels used to be
- Rust and barely-legible warning-stripe paint under the growth
