The overgrown locust is an upgraded tier 2 creature of the Hive faction. It is recruited from the Carrion Lair II. It is one of two upgrades for the locust, along with the harvester locust.

While common locusts are the builders, harvesters are the Hive’s “foragers”. These specialised drones scour the raid for resources, processing as much as they can to fuel the Hive’s needs.OffBck
