Scavenger
A Scavenger is a drone or Skimmer-like entity found at Thargoid Surface Sites.
Description
Considerably smaller than Unknown Ships, Scavengers are non-hostile until fired upon, and 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 they're not built to handle conflicts. Afterward 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.
Activity
They are presumably Thargoid devices that perform some sort of function related to the Surface Sites. They've been observed to nourish or fertilize the alien eggs on the ground.
The Scavengers appear to interact with the Surface Site. This could be for repairs or construction. The green substance on the surface sites might be the bioweapon known as the Mycoid virus which the INRA unleashed on the Thargoids.
