Spelopede

A medium-sized bioengineered insectoid the size of a sheep. The spelopede is the middle caste of a hive, taking care of most work tasks as well as fighting with its digging claws. It's dangerous in combat, but slow on open ground.

Spelopedes are giant, bio-engineered, subterranean invertebrates and the middle of the three insectoid types in both size and danger.

Summary[edit]

Spelopedes can inhabit any terrain where an infestation has spawned. They are dangerous in combat, but slow on open ground.

Their body is composed of a head, head claw, mouth, pronotum, shell, elytras (left and right), and two pairs of legs (front and back).

All insectoids, including the spelopede, experience hypothermic slowdown instead of fatal hypothermia, have 100% Toxic Resistance, rendering them immune to toxic buildup from any source, and 80% Toxic Environment Resistance, rendering them resistant to environmental effects such as rot stink. They experience also pollution stimulus when in polluted terrain.Content added by the Biotech DLC See that page for full details.

Insectoids are incapable of sexual reproduction like other animals, due to their breeding type (EusocialInsect). Instead, wild insects reproduce via hives which create new insectoids periodically, up to a maximum value each hive can support. Tamed insectoids cannot reproduce at all. For more detail, see the Hive page.

Analysis[edit]

Spelopedes are between megaspiders and megascarabs, with in-the-middle speed and health.

Wild Spelopedes always generate hostile, making them difficult to tame as they will try to attack the animal handler. However, animal interactions during the process will interrupt any attacks. It may be ideal to equip your handler with armor, or to select a handler with a high melee skill for a higher melee dodge chance to reduce the risk of harm, though this is not strictly necessary.

Spelopedes are practically impossible to tame when they first spawn from an infestation. In order to try and tame a Spelopede, you will need to down them, then destroy all hives from the infestation. With Too Deep: Infestation event and Wastepack Infestations, there are no hives, so all you need to do is down the insect. This does not make them non-hostile, but it will prevent them from seeking out colonists like a raider would. Note that wild Spelopedes unlike other animals cannot be operated on and thus can't be anesthetized, and they are prone to waking up and attacking the pawn treating them, Waiting for blood loss to reach extreme can prevent this.

They are rather accessible and easy to maintain haulers having the lowest wildness, being only beaten by Huskies, and Labrador retrievers however for most purposes the megaspider is the better option. Megaspiders are stronger in combat, but have 40% wildness and move 0.05 c/s slower along with slightly higher hunger rate.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
