“Another highly specialized unit is the Dweller. Designed to endure the harshest of planetary climates, these burrowing units have evolved into mobile landmines. If we get too close, they explode, dispensing not only damage but also small protean units, capable of quickly forming into additional units.”
Singleton[1]

The Dweller is a Goo heavy ground unit.

Background[]

The Dweller's purpose has always been combat-focused. Due to the hostile creatures on some planets explored by the Goo, the Dweller's intent was to burrow in the ground and explode whenever hostile animals approached sensitive areas. It was very important to the designers, however, that the nano-machines comprising the Dweller not be wasted after detonation. Because of this, any nanites that survive the Dweller explosion reform into a Small Protean, capable of morphing into other units.

Overview[]

An ambush unit, the Dweller buries itself underground and waits. When an enemy approaches, the Dweller detonates, sending millions of nano-machines flying in all directions. These machines will then merge back together to continue fighting.

Tips[]

  • Dwellers are great for ambushing, doing a large amount of AoE damage when any enemy happens to walk over them.
  • Dwellers are visible when moving, but are stealthed when planted in the ground.
  • When a Dweller is triggered, it forms into a small protean, good for wiping up any enemies not quite destroyed by the initial blast.
