Alien Hunter
A fast-moving caste of alien capable of pouncing on prey, stunning them for a decent amount of time. They are, however, the squishiest caste as well.
The speedy ambusher and main component of the alien offensive. Alien hunters are the fastest caste, moving at a speed faster than humans and most other animals. Hunters also have the unique ability to pounce on possible prey, which induces a hardstun should it successfully land on a target. However, the stun will be applied to the hunter should it hit a wall or be unlucky when pouncing a target with a shield.
