Predator-Substrain Prowler

Stalkers (Predator-Substrain)

The Gloom Spores responsible for the propagation of the Predator-Strain of Terminids are thankfully few and far between. That being said, the fact that they have decided to infect and change the dreaded Stalker is bad news enough. The so called "Prowler" continues to be a great thorn to both our SEAF Platoons and Helldivers. Easily identified by its unique tri-colour scheme and large size, the Prowler eschews a significant deal of weight across its body for increased agility and more interestingly, it completely loses its chromatophoric coating in the process, rendering it unable to cloak. As a result, it is both far more aggressive yet also more brittle than its cousin, preferring to simply run down and overpowering the foe with its superior agility and strength. Keep your wits about you, Divers, they are no pushovers and generally lead packs of equally evolved Hunters (or "Clickers") or god forbid, themselves, tunnel vision has already claimed enough of our own.

• As a result of its weight loss for increased agility, their carapace is generally thinner and their bodies more susceptible to damage. Shotguns are unsurprisingly especially effective as they close in rapidly.

• More often than not, Prowlers are not alone and instead lead small packs of "Clickers". Many Helldivers have paid the price after being jumped by Clicker packs whilst engaging the Prowler. Keep your head on a swivel and your gun at the ready.

• In light of their formidible battle speed, some resourceful Helldivers have begun using the Stunflash Shells of the SG-20 "Halt" Shotgun to completely disorient and stop Prowlers dead in their tracks, allowing themselves or squadmates to rip them apart with their own weapons.

[Personal Note #38]: Stunflash rounds eh?, clever bastards i gotta admit, maybe there is hope for us after all...
