The '''Scavenger''' is a biomechanical entity of [[Thargoid]] origin found at [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s. 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> However, they have demonstrated only simple behaviors: dismantling or tending to surface areas with Thargoid technology preset, and attacking trespassers. In terms of function, Scavengers appear to bear some similarities with [[Skimmer]]s produced by humans.

~~A '''Scavenger''' is a drone or~~ [[:~~Category:Skimmers~~|~~Skimmer~~]]~~-like entity found at~~ [[Thargoid ~~Surface Site~~]]s~~. They are presumably~~ [[~~Thargoid~~]] ~~devices~~.

== Overview ==

[[File:Scavengers and alien eggs.png|250px|thumb|Scavengers and Thargoid Pods]]

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 are equipped with some sort of corrosion beam on the frontal area to assemble or disassemble the structure.

~~== Description ==~~

They are non-hostile until fired upon. Their only apparent weapon is the ability to spray a lightly-damaging corrosive liquid at attackers, an attack which bears some similarities to the corrosive enzyme missiles used by Interceptors. Scavengers have no defences and do not appear to be designed for combat, and can thus be easily destroyed using conventional [[SRV]] weaponry.

~~Scavengers~~ are ~~considerably smaller than [[Unknown Ship]]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~~.

When destroyed they drop the following [[Materials]]: [[Sensor Fragment]], [[Thargoid Carapace]], [[Thargoid Energy Cell]], [[Thargoid Organic Circuitry]], and [[Thargoid Technology Components]].

~~When destroyed~~ they ~~drop~~ the ~~following~~ [[~~Materials~~]]: ~~Unknown Fragments, Unknown Carapaces, Unknown Energy Cells, Unknown Organic Circuitry, Unknown Technology Components, Unknown Ship Signatures, and Unknown Wake Data.~~

Analyzing the Thargoid Organic Circuitry from within the bodies of the Scavengers indicates that they contain both organic and mechanical elements. This discovery has led many to question if the Scavengers are sentient creatures or simple mechanical [[drones]] created by the [[Thargoids]] as workers.<ref name=":0" />

Scavengers' role at Thargoid Surface Sites is unknown, but available evidence suggests that they may be breaking down the Surface Sites with their corrosive enzyme so that their raw components can be salvaged. This in turn implies that the Surface Sites themselves are derelict, and possible visual indications of [[mycoid]] contamination on them further suggest that they may have been damaged beyond repair during the first Thargoid-human conflict in the mid-32nd century. Surface Sites are also infested with [[Thargoid Pod]]s, which the Scavengers appear to be tending.

~~Scavengers perform some sort of function related to the Surface Sites. They've been observed to nourish or fertilize the alien eggs on the ground.~~

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.
