Mind Worms can appear suddenly, and are
closely associated with fungus.
Mind Worms and other alien creatures can engage in Psi Combat, in which
weapon and armor strengths are ignored, and the attacker is given a 3
to 2 advantage on land. Morale
level is quite important in defending against Mind Worms and other
alien units.
With proper breeding and bonding techniques, Mind Worms can also be
bred in captivity and controlled by skilled brood trainers. These Mind
Worm boils can be used to attack enemy units using Psi Combat, thus
bypassing enemy advantages in weapon and armor technology. Biology Labs and other
facilities can increase the strength of captivity-bred Mind Worm boils.
Like any native unit, players can also release Mind Worms into the
wild, to harass and disrupt an enemy.
