Pouncer

The Pouncer appears to be an adolescent Hunter or Shrieker that can be found on Easy difficulty and higher.
Pouncers will use their wings to leap great distances and attack using their claws and sharp tongues. This bug has a slightly higher threat level due to its ability to cover a large distance with its jump. They often appear in numbers but are easily dealt with. Like most Terminids, Pouncers can cause a Bug Breach if left alive, allowing more threatening Terminids to appear.
==Tactics==
* Pouncers, like Hunters, and known to flank helldivers and attempt to dodge incoming fire. Or throw themselves at enemies as a screening force.
*Be very wary about a swarm of pouncers jumping at you. They are solid obstructions and can do anything from deflect thrown stratagem beacons, to causing explosive launchers to kill their user by getting in front of the weapon at the last moment before firing a shot.
**Use special care with the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher, as it will detonate its cluster-bomb payload in proximity of leaping Pouncers, which can be especially hard to spot in the heat of battle. A detonation within Pouncer-leap range will certainly kill you and nearby teammates.
