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.
