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.

Sometimes, a locust is imbued with so much demonic essence that is becomes highly aware of its surroundings. These overgrown drones are deployed after ravaging gnats to prepare the Hive's prey for harvest and eliminate anyone still resisting.^OffBck
