I. Hate. These. Abominations.

When starting out on any Xcom game, there's always an immediate challenge thrown at you as the aliens that look to conquer our world, aren't just going to sit back and let you bombard them with explosives and hailstorms of bullets. No, instead they're going to send every specialist troop they have at their disposal to exploit your weaknesses and open up points of attack, and the Chrysasalids act like a beehive covered in petrol being thrown into a picnic for how much they will ruin best laid plans.

While the beasts don't have any shooting capabilities and are completely melee focused, they move at a rapid pace meaning that they will always attack attention. They also chew through health like nobodies business and to add venemous salt to the wound, also have a chance of poisoning you, meaning that even if you sruvive you'll now have to reposition and heal up squad members.

And to make matters even worse, in Xcom 2 they evolved the creature further by now having armoured protection, but now if the poison killed a team mate they would be turned into a coccoon and up to THREE MORE Chryssalids would emerge.

Awful.
