The Anthropod is capable of performing all the actions of an equivalent human soldier and can use weapons and equipment.

The Anthropod is the first real "soldier" of the Alien assault force. When you first encounter these creatures, they will be carrying [[Brainsucker Launcher]]s, so as to control your men. To counter this, I never leave a man alone. More often than not, the Brainsuckers can get to your men before your men get them. Keep them in groups of 3-6 men, so as they cover each other. This way, your men never get taken in by these creatures. Later, these creatures will be seen carrying [[Disruptor Gun]]s, the first alien energy weapon you will research, then [[Devastator Cannon]]s, [[Dimension Missile Launcher]]s, [[Personal Disruptor Shield]]s, [[Personal Cloaking Field]]s, [[Vortex Mine]]s, [[Boomeroid]]s, [[Entropy Launcher|Entropy Launchers (of death!)]], and even, if you are lucky, or have gone REALLY far in the game, [[Personal Teleporter]]s! Most technology which your men will be able to use will come from these guys and the [[Skeletoid (Apocalypse)|Skeletoid]]s.

To capture these soldiers (and, in turn, their shield generators, weapons, grenades, and other items), you need to use two items. First, is the stun grapple. The stun grenade doesn't work well enough against most units with the possible exception of the [[Queenspawn (Apocalypse)|Queenspawn]], who is immobile. The stun grapple, however, can take an Anthropod down in 1-3 shots, so give multiple troops the stun grapple. The other use, which I'd forgotten, is the psionic control. Mind control or knock out the guy, take his stuff, and then stick a guy with a stun gun next to him. If he wakes up from being unconcious, he'll be put right back to sleep by the guy with the stun gun. These two methods are the best for capturing Anthropods.

A blue bipedal humanoid form with large red eyes.

Infiltration
An Anthropod is one of the four alien lifeforms which hatches from a Chrysalis. This is its final-form.
An alien infestation spreading across the city will almost always contain Anthropods. They are very common.

Combat

Unit

An Anthropod is susceptible to psionics.

Anthropods are the foot soldiers of the alien menace. They are capable of using every weapon and most devices. Their quantity on the batlescape make them a strong threat when armed with powerful weapons but are completely harmless if not armed. They have no grown-in weapons. Anthropods can kneel, jump, and crawl.
When defending any structure in their alien dimension, they are the second most common alien to be found on the battlescape.

Resistance
An Anthropod has the weakest Psi-Defence of any alien. They are mildly resistant to stun gas, stun grapple and Toxin-A whereas Toxin-B has a more potent effect.

Anthropod research is another step further for understanding all alien lifeforms.
