Lobsterman (singular)
Lobstermen (plural)
Note: There are no Lobsterwomen.
General Information
There are talk of soldiers which eat hearty after Lobsterman encounters. Indoviduals questioned always deny allegations, but many bases which are close to frequent lobsterman activity sites have been known to stock condiments normally associated with lobster dinners.
On a related note, bases in the region of Japan are famous for "misplacing" Xarquid corpses. A new form of sushi from the mullosk family has also recently appeared in the area. DNA tests and investigations are pending.
"Tactics:"
The first time I faced a Lobsterman, practically nothing in my arsenal could so much as dent him. And I think I was playing on easy.
Later, I realized that the humble freeze rod is a melee weapon and thus effective on them. Which is great, since you won't get to research those drills until LATE in the game. In fact, you might want to still stick with the freeze rod, since they take extra damage from stun as well as melee!
2nd Opinion:
The best non-nuke ranged weapon against Lobsterman is the Thermal Shock launcher. Don't forget to drop a grenade on the sleeping seafood if you want more kils for your rookies.
