Locust Horde
The Locust Horde are a subterranean species that live on the planet Sera in Gears of War.
The Locust Horde attacked the Human inhabitants of their world on Emergence Day where they swarmed across the cities killing every man, woman and child in their quest for dominance. In the end, the Humans resorted to destroying their own cities to stop the Locusts. Humanity would live in a few settlements that were founded on solid rock as this prevented the Locusts from tunneling underground.
The goals of the Horde are not known except that they are somewhat linked to the Immulsion substance found on the planet. Consisting of a vast array of differing forms, the Locusts are not above sending swarms of their infantry to kill a single Human soldier. These infantry consist of the Drones, Boomers, Berserkers and the elite Theron Guard which are led by Locust Generals and the guiding influence of the Locust Queen. Each of these many warriors make use of projectile weapons as well as their unique abilities to best their opponents.
Numerous beasts are also employed to serve as living vehicles such as the Corpsers, Brumaks and Reavers. Seeders and Nemacysts are also employed to ensure Locust dominance.
The Locust Horde were wounded when the Humans detonated a Lightmass Bomb within their tunnels, however, this simply slowed them down and the war for survival continues.
