The '''sightstealer''' is an [[entity]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. It is likely to be one of the first anomalous entities a colony will encounter.

== Acquisition ==
The Sightstealer will randomly wander onto the map in an invisible state. In this state, it can pass directly through a tamed animal without being detected. It will reveal itself when it either gets close to a colonist or an invisibility disruptor, such as a [[disruptor flare]] forcing it out of this state. Once it's out of this state it can be freely downed and captured.

== Summary ==
Relatively weak entities that feel [[pain]], [[bleeding|bleed]], and are susceptible to [[disease]]. Sightstealers will trigger [[proximity detector]]s when in range. However, the proximity detector will not reveal it.

Sightstealers can occasionally howl when downed or killed. These howls will attract a pack of sightstealers (essentially a sightstealer raid) to attack the colony; their arrival time ranges from a few hours to a few days. The pack will approach the colony and become visible when moving to attack a pawn or active, friendly [[mechanoid]]{{BiotechIcon}}. 1-2 [[Shard]]s can be acquired from destroying the pack.

=== Yield ===
Contained Sightstealers yield 1.6 [[bioferrite]] per day when attached to a [[Bioferrite harvester]].

=== Containment ===
The Sightstealer is fairly weak, requiring only 30 containment strength. This means you can use [[wood]]en [[wall]]s and a basic holding spot to contain it with minimal risk.

== Analysis ==	
A single Sightstealer is unlikely to be a threat to even a group of brand new colonists.  A large group ambushing a poor combatant could potentially be a problem, but only if a child wanders off alone or something equally irresponsible happens.  They are marginally more dangerous than an unarmed baseliner, with claws that can cause bleeding.  

A Sightstealer is one of the easiest anomalies to capture and contain that could be technically considered dangerous.  Effectively a blessing to most colonies, providing an easy source of beginning research.  Their weakness and stealth give them practically no defensive application.

Sightstealers are extremely vulnerable to fire. A pawn armed with an [[incendiary launcher]], [[molotov cocktails]], or [[incinerator]] can easily cripple even a pack of sightstealers. If the colony contains a [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}}, [[scyther]]s, [[scorcher]]s, [[tesseron]]s, and [[centipede burner]]s are effective counters. If a sightstealer howls, drafted mechanoids are valid targets for the sightstealers, and they will reveal themselves to attack. This can be used to force sightstealers to become visible before they draw close to colonists.
