DLC
An alien cyborg supposedly modelled after the visually intimidating but tactically ineffectual Alien Centipede, the M78 has advanced "artificial insidiousness" to make it a true battlefield predator. Its undulating body is raised on tall legs to supposedly protect it from grounded threats, Contra Force have nonetheless found that these machines are very vulnerable to being run over by a truck. Reluctantly lauded by Red Falcon infantry for its prowess on the battlefield when providing fire support, the M78 is despised for the really annoying sound it makes when it walks.
Base health
At spawn, minute zero, before the run scales it.
Contact damage
Move speed
XP dropped
Resists
The game publishes a magnitude for each of these and never says what the scale is, so treat them as effects that land badly rather than as percentages.
Where it spawns
Neo GalugaHealth here is the base figure the game spawns it with. Enemies gain health every minute the clock runs, Curse multiplies it again, and Inverse doubles the whole stage before any of that. The engine ships 3 versions of this creature at different scaling; the Bestiary indexes this one.
