Talk:Hallucinoid

The comments in Overviews of Aliens (TFTD)#Hallucinoid - Terror Unit say that this unit just attacks

"with its tentacles which do precicely [sic] nothing, while completely ignoring its built-in Thermal Shok Launcher"

I did some testing on this and I could not reproduce that result. My results were:

1. The Hallucinoid does seem to have a preference to close for short range attacks
2. Its melee attack seems to be lethal against unarmoured Aquanauts
3. Its long range attack is definitely used (though perhaps melee is preferred if there are targets nearby)
4. The long range attack is also lethal against unarmoured Aquanauts
5. Neither of these attacks do stun damage - or if they do, they still contain enough lethal damage to be fatal

Does anyone know the basis for these comments in the Overview? If not I propose to remove them. Spike 14:13, 15 November 2008 (CST)
