An aquatic vector of the Mind
Worms, the Isle of the Deep
is closely associated with Mind Worms and Sea Fungus.
The floating shell of an Isle of the Deep, formed by the secretions
of the colony's individual
members, is often used as a nesting place by Mind Worms, and can even
float large land units.
Isles of the Deep and other alien creatures can engage in Psi Combat,
in which weapon and armor strengths are ignored.
Morale
level is quite important in defending against
Isles of the Deep and other alien units.
With proper breeding and bonding techniques, Isles of the Deep can
also be bred in captivity and controlled by skilled brood trainers.
These captive boils can be used to attack enemy naval units using Psi
Combat. Depending on their size, they can also be used to transport
land units. Like any native unit, players can also release Isles into
the wild, to harass and disrupt an enemy.
