Visceroids have a suicidal attack and a bomb can be seen attached to it. They are commonly encountered during single-player, where they will attack the player (but curiously not the player's enemies). They are extremely hard to kill, especially en masse, due to their quick speed and durable health. If a player manages to get a mutant hovel in their control, swarms of visceroids (Easy to attain at 3 command points per unit) can be used to take out vehicular defenses, or to soften up and possibly destroy a crawler. However, they are more vulnerable to gun-based units due to the fact that they have light armor. Their suicide packs deal blast damage, making them ideal for knocking out reinforced structures, including a Nod Obelisk of Light.
