Fithik

Overview
Fithik are the first wave of Bane invasion. They are supposed to disturb local species and kill as many as they can before The Bane army starts destroying the planet.

When first engaged, they may do a charging attack similar to the Commando's Rushing Blow. Previously it was difficult to discern; the animation was missing and they would just appear on top of you. At about half health, Fithik will begin to squeal and glow red-orange. After a few seconds, they explode, dealing a large, physical damage AOE. It is best to kill them before this happens or get out of the blast range.

Their primary attack is a close-range melee.

New player warning: Fithik have been seen nesting in the Ranja Caverns area of Wilderness, beware a Monarch Fithik has been seen near the entrance area.

Physical Traits
Slightly smaller than the average human, Fithik appear to be similar to bipedal locusts.
