Protohive

Protohives are one of the several different types of enemy structures in Infested Planet.
__TOC__
== Description ==
Protohives diverge significantly from hives, functioning more akin to spawn towers. Created at map inception or spawned through the Protohives mutation, protohives lack towers and do not dispatch attacking bugs. Upon entering a protohive's expansive detection radius, a purple flashing commences, intensifying until the protohive releases a swarm of a single type of alien—brutes, enraged, or spitters. Unlike hives, protohives lack natural regeneration without the Regeneration mutation.
== Countering ==
Considering their absence of regeneration, protohives are more of an annoyance than a substantial threat. Elimination can be accomplished by deploying three Chopper Strikes or utilizing marines.
