Minecrawlers are carapace-armoured insect predators that infest the Colony's mines. Alkimia Interactive has publicly shown a redesigned Minecrawler for the remake, and later released a "Minecrawler Queen Concept Animation" that confirms the queen is returning in remake form.
Where They Live
Inside the Old Mine and the other mining complexes the camps dispute over.
Hidden nests below ground level. The carapace makes them hard to spot in low light before they strike.
The Queen
The Minecrawler Queen is a far larger, more dangerous version of the standard Minecrawler. Alkimia's concept animation shows the queen in motion rather than as a static asset, which implies a dedicated encounter rather than reskinned standard Minecrawler animations. Specific stats, loot, and location pins for the remake have not been published before launch.
Combat
Hard carapace. Minecrawlers take reduced damage until the player lands hits on softer angles or uses the remake's finisher animations to crack their armour.
Swarm fighters. They spawn in small groups inside enclosed spaces, which limits the Hero's movement options.
Torch relevance. The Flaming Torch is a useful tool for navigating crawler-infested sections of mine where the Hero would otherwise be fighting blind.
