Crumerian Host

**Crumerian Host** is one of the **mutation** Monster Perks in Unfortunate Spacemen. It is unlocked at rank **6**.

## In-Game Description

*You're one with the hivemind.*

* Your PARASITE EGG is replaced by a HATCHERY.
* As a Hatchery survives, it grows over time, up to FOUR LEVELS.
* As the Hatchery levels up, more Drones (and more variety of Drones) can spawn from it.
* You can place as many Hatcheries as you're able, but the total drone population will be shared across them.
* At Level 4, Chonkers will start to periodically spawn from your Hatchery.
* Drones will automatically seek out targets as long as they can find a path to them.
* Drones will typically ignore you, but they might not recognize you in Spaceman form.
* TIP: You'll want to place Hatcheries where the Spacemen can't or won't easily find them.

## Notes

A hatchery gains increased health per level they reach. Hatcheries typically need an small group to take one down consistently. Hatcheries take double damage from explosives and flames. As they level up, the Hatchery can spawn more standard or explosive drones at once with the strongest being able to spawn Chonkers.

## Drone Types

### Standard Drone

Standard Drones are small brown insects with 4 legs and 3 orange eyes, arranged in a triangle. They attack by chasing their target and hitting them with their front legs once in close range. Because of their low health and damage, they can be quickly dispatched. They are the most common form of drone.

### Explosive Drone

Explosive Drones are identical to Standard Drones save for their white bodies bearing bright red bulbs. Like their name suggests, they detonate themselves near spacemen, causing a small explosion, destroying themselves in the process.

### Chonkers

Chonkers are giant, blue armored drones. Their armor shields damage against them until they break, exposing their actual bodies underneath. Their attacks deal the most damage out of all the drones and will knock back targets, making them a threat to even well armed spacemen. It is to be noted that Chonkers have difficulty passing through narrow doors given their width.

## Strategy

The main advantage a Crumerian Host has is his ability to spawn allies which pester the spacemen. While most drones are weak, posing a threat only to those low on health or unarmed, consistently putting out damage against Spacemen will gradually wear them out. Like the perk’s description says, a Hatchery does best where it is isolated from the rest of the spacemen, giving it time to grow. The monster themselves do not need to attend to the Hatchery and in fact, it is better to lead the spacemen away from it than towards. Placing multiple Hatcheries far away from each other is also a good idea, since you have a backup. Just make sure that you do not have too much, otherwise your drones will be thinned out across the map.

As Spacemen, try to locate the Hatchery before it reaches LVL 4 and starts spawning Chonkers. Keep in mind that the Hatchery takes 2x fire and explosive damage. The Company strongly encourages you to take a friend to these hatcheries, since it is always better to have friends. Just don't try taming those Crumerians. We don't want to end up like Steve...
