The Gorge is a bulbous and passive-aggressive subspecies of Kharaa. It can become playable during a match after using ten resource cost points. They're more commonly found nearby Kharaa Hives.

Appearance[]

Gorges are very stocky creatures, and have very little attack power compared to other Kharaa. They have a carapace on their back for extra protection. Although having protection, they do not have a strong attack power, and instead offer support to other Kharaa from afar with ranged attacks or with healing. Its appearance resembles that of Earth's odd-toed ungulates.

Abilities[]

  • Bile Bomb - by building up bile within them, they're able to spit out a devastating bile projectile at their enemies. These attacks are more damaging to structures however.
  • Healing Breath - This is the most notable ability of the Gorge. While its breath is only mildly toxic to humans, it is a major healing component to other Kharaa and a building tool for structures created by the Gorge.
  • Building - The most structural and architectural Kharaa, Gorges are capable of building and creating numerous bio-materialist structures. Many of these are either stationary weapons or defense mechenisms:
    • Clog - a object to block paths and doorways.
    • Hydra - a type of plant that can shoot spikes at enemies.
    • Web - strings of mucus to incapacitate enemies.
    • Gorge Tunnels - passageways specialized for Gorges.
    • Babbler Egg - used by Gorges as living shields or nuisances against enemies.
