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

The Anthropod is the basic footsoldier of the alien forces, and the first of only two species of aliens that can use tools. They resembles a vein covered blue skinned humanoid with no neck and thick elephant-like limbs with pairs of pincers for manipulating objects. They are roughly the equivalent of human guards in terms of their functions, strengths and weaknesses. They are encountered in large quantities.

Thanks to their ability to use weapons and tools, they quickly progress from being minor nuisances to dangerous threats as the alien field equipment evolves. They are also very well versed in the use of firearms found in [[Mega Primus]], and will pick up and use them (if loaded) if necessary. They almost religiously carry one [[Megapol Smoke Grenade]] amongst their standard armament. It is up to speculation as to how they obtained the smoke grenades. .

Anthropods are sufficiently smart enough to use smoke grenade to cancel out harmful gas clouds and patches of fire.

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.
