Shrieker

Shriekers

A fairly recent mutation within the Terminid Ranks, this time directly following the usage of the once-thought effective "Termicide" via the TCS towers. It begets confusion on if it has evolved naturally on its own or was...spurred by the usage of the Termicide, but you are not paid to debate origins, you are paid to exterminate. Effectively a sub-strain of the Hunter-Class Terminid, the Shrieker or "Owl" by the Ministry of Science is a pack hunter that takes the skies from specially constructed nests, patrolling vast expanses of said nest to spot unsuspecting prey before diving down and cutting them apart in a flurry razor sharp talon and wings. Fortunately for us they have sacrificed at of their mass to achieve basic flight, rendering them extremely susceptible to gunfire and overall damage. This does not undermine their danger nonetheless, the age-old SEAF Manntra applies well here "Look Out, Look Up.".

• The nests they emerge from have been identified as large mushroom-like structures that are notably vulnerable to heavier munitions. I personally recommend downing these structures as quickly as possible, unless you are a fan of contested airspace

• Being pack hunters, they will often not all dive at once, and never from the same direction. Keep your head to the sky and watch your back and keep your weapon loaded.

• Being so frail and their wings so large, The Ministry of Defense have reported that Shotguns have the highest effectiveness against these vultures.
