Overspawn (Apocalypse)
.png)
This enormous creature is deposited by an Alien Mothership. Its primary objective appears to be destruction of the city and annihilation of X-COM bases. The terror and panic that it causes amongst the population indicates a change in Alien strategy. It is possible that they have abandoned their attempts at infiltration and are now only concerned with revenge and retribution against X-COM. From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

The Overspawn is a hybrid creature, derived from the Megaspawn genetic pool. It is difficult to kill, but will eventually succumb to bombardment by Disruptor Beams and other powerful weapons. Fortunately it has no ranged combat capability. From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia
Overspawn Terror
.png){kind=small}
The Overspawn is a giant bi-pedal alien created with the sole purpose of causing a lot of damage to Mega Primus. They are transported into the city by Motherships. Once deployed, the Overspawn will walk about in random directions with no aim or purpose apart from flatten anything that stands in its way. Megapol will often respond by sending police hovercars to harass it. Fortunately, Overspawn are dimwitted and will gladly walk into the path of falling debris. This usually kills them in the process. Otherwise an Overspawn attack is a Public Relations boon to X-COM, as any organisations, including such groups as the Cult of Sirius, that suffer damage from the attack will start to fall out of favour with the aliens. X-COM generally benefits more by not taking any action unless the Overspawn ambles too close to an X-COM facility. If this is allowed to happen and the overspawn manages to walk over the base, then it will be destroyed instantly. In this instance, heavily armed aircraft should be deployed to defend the base.
- It is the only ground based unit that can travel without the need of a road.
Research
Overspawn research is another step further for understanding all alien lifeforms.
Note: This lifeform cannot be captured, only killed. The live entry for the in-game Ufopaedia in not available.
