One of the many alien life forms the colonists of the Everdawn have to contend with are the Scron. A strange bug-like species with a single large eye and a lot of aggression.
They play as a glass-cannon type in game, and are mostly focused on getting in close. The Broodmother is an oddity among them, with a large glowing abdomen that radiates significant amounts of heat, allowing itself and nearby creatures the ability to survive in the negative temperatures. The Slicer is the one pictured covered in spikes all down its back. One of the most dangerous seen so far, its front legs and teeth can tear in to just about anything. Lastly we have the Spitter, with its scorpion like tail. As the name implies, the creature secretes an acid gland near the end of its tail that it launches out at its prey. If anyone gets too close it can use its tail pincer to defend itself as well.
Game wise, the slow moving Broodmother can give one model nearby a free move action to help with repositioning, and helps with the faster Scron and over-extending, keeping them close for safety. The Slicer's attacks cause the Bleed status condition, which enemies take extra damage the next time their turn comes. It's spiked backside can harm those foolish enough to try to take a swing at it. The Spitter's acid lowers enemies armor values, making them easier to take down. It's tail attack is able to throw smaller enemies away from itself, adding some strategy to board placement.
When combined, they have some board positioning synergy while allowing you to soften up your foes and hit where it hurts!
