Like any native unit, players can also release Locusts into the wild, to harass and disrupt an enemy. Native lifeforms stationed in xenofungus do not require [[support]].

Locusts of Chiron are rare native life forms, and “wild” locusts are rarely seen outside of periods of unusual mind worm activity. Periodically, a pre-boil mass of mind worms in a xenofungal bloom spontaneously, and for unknown reason, metamorphoses so that they all grow wings, whereupon the worms take off as a boil-swarm.

Though they cannot be captured in the wild, they can be bred in captivity.
