3D Model

Morphology: Splinter Cocoon

Protective structure for sleeping Splinters. Destroying this structure will eliminate the Splinter inside, but it will also alert other Splinters nearby.

Splinters will enter their protective cocoons when tired or sated. The cocoon is durable, but can be destroyed by weapons fire. Destroying a cocoon will kill the Splinter inside; when this occurs, the dying Splinter will emit a shriek that will alert all nearby Splinters in hibernation. This will drive them into battle frenzy as a defense mechanism.
