A squad developed a quick countermeasure: deploying motion sensors tuned to the Specters' unique energy signature. With the creatures' movements tracked, soldiers used synchronized fire to trap and annihilate them before they could phase again.
These Scorchers burned with an intensity that turned the battlefield into a molten wasteland. Their acidic liquid had become a stream of lava-like venom that carved through barriers and melted armor.
One Scorcher reared back, spewing its molten venom toward a line of advancing soldiers. A support unit activated a wind barrier, redirecting the deadly stream to harmlessly splash against a rock face. The Wyrm lunged forward, its horn crackling with energy. A soldier armed with a plasma hammer intercepted it, swinging the weapon upward to deflect the attack and following through with a downward strike that shattered the creature's molten skull.
