Creeper
The Creeper forms part of the Alien Plague infesting Mars' underbelly that you fight during the Red Faction: Armageddon Single Player Campaign.
Description
Small in stature, but deadly in groups, creepers were the first enemies encountered after the release of the Plague, quickly overwhelming outlying Red Faction bases. At close range, creepers attack with their razor forelegs. They're also capable of ranged attacks, spitting toxic acid at their prey. Creepers are fast and capable of leaping long distances, making it difficult to predict their movement.
Expect creepers to primarily attack at melee range, so answer back with melee strikes of your own - all it takes is one hit to squish one of these bugs. The Shotgun is also an ideal weapon for blasting these creatures. If facing large groups, the Impact or Shockwave Nano Forge abilities are an effective way to gain some breathing space. In addition to the standard, small creeper, watch out for large variants, known as alpha creepers. These large creepers are slightly tougher to kill, but are still vulnerable to light weapons and melee strikes.

| “ Many called this expedition a fool's errand. But today, after descending more than a kilometre below the Martian surface, we made a monumental discover. Preliminary analysis indicates that the creature is unrelated to any of the simple bacteria that still thrive in the planet's frozen soil. It is as alien as it is beautiful - evidently a stranger to Mars, as we ourselves once were. These passageways travel deeper. We must do the same. „ |
