Description

This species is bred for strength, speed, and ferocity. They are quite loyal to their Thrax masters and will attack any target that comes into range. Howlers close the gap with their targets and use their deafening cries to slow and xpose them. They then use their claws to tear at their victims while Thrax Hunters approach for the kill.

As with many melee foes, your squad’s safety relies on spotting these enemies early, backing away, and killing the Howler and Hunter before they can disable your comrades. Target and kill the closer of the two enemies first, usually the Howler, and then attack the second.
