Leaper Pod

The Leaper Pod is a protective membranous sac from which the Chimeran Crawler species evolve into a Leaper strain.

Its believed that these pods are deposited by the other Chimera strains with some intelligence suggesting that the Widowmakers fulfil this role on the battlefield. The pods remain dormant until they sense local vibrations which make the Leaper pod a form of living mine.

Caution is advised to anyone within Chimera territory as these pods often burst revealing their voracious cargo. Early detection of Leaper pods has been known to save lives. The use of explosives such as grenades or rockets is the recommended avenue of dealing with the pods before they spawn their Leapers.
