Dune stalkers are an environment-optimized variant of the all-purpose Killing machine, meant to wage war in the harshest deserts.
Characteristics[edit]
Dune stalkers are purpose-built for fighting in the scorching wastelands and coasting through the dune seas that are all-but impassable for most monsters, hence their series designation. Still, even these machines are not invulnerable to the hardships of the desert, and need to regularly take flight to clean the sand out of their joint bearings. Ambush is a favored tactic that makes use of their mild camouflage, bursting out of the sands like a mechanical trap-door spider.
