Clawers are glass cannons, make no mistake. Having about 28% the health of a [[Grizzly bear]], individual clawers are weak combatants. However, with a dedicated tank or swarm of other clawers, they'll put up an impressive (and quick) fight. A pack of four can take down a Thrumbo on their own and only receive a handful of hits in the process. Their excellent DPS and armor penetration helps against any foe. | Clawers are glass cannons, make no mistake.

| − | As far as combat animals go, clawers excel not only because of their combat capabilities, but also because they are arguably the most disposable pawn in the game. A leg shot off normally means a forever crippled [[warg]], and a crushed jaw results in your [[bear]] no longer able to haul. [[Animal]]s also take effort to train. All this is before considering that colonists can [[bond]] with them. While animals will bleed out, downed dryads can safely sit on the floor without risking death, and hop in a pod for 3 days to come out good as new.

With the ability to take [[Go-juice]] or even [[Luciferium]] in a pinch and shrug off any unlucky side effects with a healing pod, clawers push their endurance to their limit, making them devastatingly effective forays into melee range. They have two main costs. A connected pawn gets a small -2 mood debuff per dryad death, but if the connected pawn tends to the dryad, then they can [[bond]]. The bigger drawback is that maintaining a gauranlen tree takes a significant amount of time to prune (using Plants skill) - possibly more than training animals. Overall, if you expect frequent combat and can play to their strengths, clawers can be extremely competitive combatants. | With the ability to take [[Go-juice]] or even [[Luciferium]] in a pinch and shrug off any unlucky side effects with a healing pod, clawers push their endurance to their limit, making them devastatingly effective forays into melee range.
