Treemite

Overview
Small, highly aggressive ticks that have an ooze attack that does minimal damage. Generally weak, and not worth attacking if they avoid you. Luring one near a large AFS encampment can provide amusing results as the entire base, including mechs, moves to attack the unfortunate bug; followed by enthusiastic cheering and whooping from the soldiers.

Physical Traits
Tree mites are an indigenous and hostile ‘Aphid-like’ creature found throughout Foreas which feed off of tree bark. They are small and move very quickly, making them difficult to target.

Damage Type
Viral

Weapons Used
Natural Poison

Special Attacks
Tree mites jump rapidly from place to place much like a flea. They will spit at their enemies with a poison which stuns or slows them, then quickly turn to a new direction and then spring away.

Armor
Tree mites have protective exoskeleton.

Weakness
Because they small and fast, use of a weapon with a wide damage cone is recommended.

Attack Range
Melee to short range.

Deployment
Tree Mites live in swarms of 5 or more and are usually found near their food source, especially by larger trees or their roots.
