The gnat is the tier 1 creature of the Hive faction. It is recruited from the Sweet Home. The gnat can be upgraded into the warden gnat or ravager gnat.

Mutated to serve as the Hive's footsoldiers, gnats are the remnants of giant flies that once roamed the Ironsand Desert. Swift and annoying, they function as scouts, distractions for more significant Hive members, and, in great numbers, a devastating swarm.^OffBck
