Spewer Nomad Strain

The Spewer was first encountered onboard the HMCS-Magnificent when it was boarded and taken over by nomads a year or so ago.

Characteristics:
The body of the Spewer generally resembles that of a Warrior. They have darkly Green-Blue skin covered in bone armor and have only 3 Tentacles in comparison to the Warrior. A large red spot on its body identifies its Optical Field much like the Warrior Strain. However, the bone armor on the Spewer is much heavier than the Warrior strain. The heavier armor likely compensates for the Spewers reduced motor skills which are not as developed for running as the Warrior strain. Where the Warrior would have its razor tentacles, the Spewer instead has two flaps which open to spew forth countless spines filled with Neurotoxin towards its enemies. The toxin itself is highly caustic when exposed to air increasing its already terrible effects. The Spewer walks much in the same way as the Warrior but their tentacles are slightly more muscular to handle the extra weight from its bone armor. Spewers prefer to walk but are capable of swinging much like their Warrior counterparts.

Function:
The function of the Spewer is to provide covering fire for the Warriors. Spewers have also been seen carrying smaller infestation slugs on their backs which are dropped off to infest hosts incapacitated by the Warriors.

Spines and Toxin:
The Spewer fires its spines from glands hidden beneath two flaps on the sides of its body. The spines are silicone-based which means that if given enough nutrients the Spewer can produce an unlimited supply if necessary. The time taken to produce a single spine is less than 30 seconds.
Due to the fragile nature of the spines, they are prone to bursting apart on impact thus spraying the acidic toxin all over the victim.

Additional Abilities: Telepathy, Psychic Intuition

Weakness:
The Spewer is relatively new so there isnt much data on it. Current information is based from surveillance tapes. According to A-MAG and CRI, the Spewers extremly heavy armor makes them extremely difficult to kill. Like all Nomad strains, Spewers feed off energy-based weapons. Projectile weapons have been found to be next to useless against them. Like the Warrior strain, heat seems to be the only thing they cant withstand; therefore, if they are encountered we recommend that there is a Flamethrower in the vicinity.
