<br />
The '''Scavenger''' is a biomechanical creature found at [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s.<br />
<br />
Scavengers have organic circuitry that consists of both organic and mechanical elements. It is unclear whether Scavengers are sentient creatures or mechanical drones made by the [[Thargoids]] as workers.<ref name=":0">[[Thargoid Organic Circuitry]] in-game description</ref> It shares similarities with a [[Skimmer]].<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Scavengers are considerably smaller than [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s, more like the size of a [[skimmer]]. They hover above the ground and roam at Surface Sites. They're equipped with some sort of corrosion beam on the frontal area to assemble or disassemble the structure.<br />
<br />
They're non-hostile until fired upon. Their only apparent weapon is the ability to spray a lightly-damaging corrosive liquid at attackers. Scavengers can be easily destroyed using conventional [[Scarab]] weaponry. This indicates that their purpose is not to handle conflicts. <br />
<br />
When destroyed they drop the following [[Materials]]: [[Thargoid Carapace]], [[Thargoid Energy Cell]], [[Thargoid Organic Circuitry]], [[Thargoid Technology Components]], [[Thargoid Ship Signature]], and [[Thargoid Wake Data]].<br />
<br />
Analyzing the [[Thargoid Organic Circuitry]] from within the bodies of the Scavengers shows that they appear to contain both organic and mechanical elements. This discovery has lead many to question if the Scavengers are sentient creatures or simple mechanical [[drones]] created by the [[Thargoids]] as workers.<ref name=":0" /><br />

== Activities ==<br />
<br />
Scavengers perform some sort of function related to the Surface Sites. They appear to nourish the [[Thargoid Egg|Thargoid eggs]] on the ground.<br />

They appear to repair or construct the Surface Site with their corrosion beam. The green substance on the surface sites might be the bioweapon known as the [[Mycoid]] virus which the [[INRA]] unleashed on the Thargoids during the INRA-Thargoid war.<br />
