Locust

**An extraterrestrial tank who heals himself and deals damage over time.**

Locust is famous for instituting Blacktron's revolutionary new HR policy: No holidays. No lunch breaks. No mercy.

**Description -** *"Born among a race of space-faring invaders known as the Zotaxians, Locust has always wanted to bend others to his will. It wasn't until he took on a middle management position with the evil conglomerate Blacktron, however, that he would come to understand what real power felt like. Now wielding a combination of deadly space tech and even deadlier time sheets, Locust is ready to conquer the galaxy one Monday at a time."*
