Babypedes are swarming monsters, commonly found in cave systems. They will crawl out of the walls in hordes, trying to swarm the player, wrapping around the player when they get in range. Sometimes, a single Babypede will be sticking out of the wall, with only its first set of arms showing, crying loudly and pretending to be a human baby. When the player tries to help it, it will initiate the attack. Individual Babypedes are quite weak and are easily killed. However, in groups, it is absolutely necessary to use AOE weaponry. Fire kills them the quickest. If the player is in a vehicle or mech suit, they can be able to simply plow through the horde and escape unharmed. However, if the Babypedes manage to latch on, what is presumed to be a hive mind will direct them in dismantling/opening the vehicle to get to the player. However, they cannot get through fully sealed exosuits or advanced vehicles.
Description
Babypedes resemble a human baby, with a very long, segmented torso and six sets of arms, with two legs at the ends of their bodies. However, their skin resembles plastic, making them look more like a doll than anything else. They have no hair on their bodies.
