Stinger

Stingers are spider-like creatures found in caves and jungles. They move very swiftly and come in elite, large, small and tiny varieties.

Small stingers are most common. Large stinger, which is a larger variation, occur more frequently in caves and later-game biomes, often surrounded by multiple smaller stingers. Occasionally, a tiny stinger smaller than the "small" variety can be found. Elite stingers can be found in the swamp area of the Red Jungle (elevated center part of the map) and also in Caves, they have even more health than the Large Stinger and can emit poisonous gas.

Activating the "arachnophobia mode" option replaces the stinger models with various images of cats with an animated hologram filter, to make the stinger visuals more palatable for those with arachnophobia.

Behavior
Stingers aggressively attack engineers by either leaping or clawing at them. These attacks can knock unsuspecting engineers out of their vehicles. Large and Elite stingers deal 30 damage per attack and the smaller ones deal 10 damage.

Stingers make scuttling insect-like sounds when moving. Stingers tend to zigzag when moving, attempting to distract the engineers. This can be potentially dangerous when they are attacking in groups.
