    -Biter Bomba caste - modified biters that exist to charge an enemy and explode in a cloud of acid.
    -Centurion caste - Large caste evolved to manipulate both the hivelink and electrical currents to create a barrier shield around its allies. Slow but moderately armored and average in melee.
    -Silkphid caste - Medium sized caste that initially looks related to the jellyphids but this is only because its mimicking them to blend in. Operates as a jellyphid herd guard dog. Produces mantodean silk and can throw webbing to slow enemies.
    -Skewer caste - Medium sized caste that is lightly armored and quick, able to fire a spine at long range with massive damage. A sniper caste.
    -New Weapon Sounds
    -Acid Grenade
    -Cold grenade?
    -Tox Grenade
    Note on mantodean weapons - Designed to kill their enemies the mantodeans evolved their morphs to mostly bypass or deal with armor effectively. Most will have remarkable Armor Pen and moderate damage numbers. Mantodeans use these weapons primarily to fight Mechanoids and The Empire, however, they work exceptionally well on other mantodeans as well.
    -Mantodean Spine Pistol - similar to a pistol in most respects. Use to evolve several other weapons.
    -Mantodean Needler Pistol - Morph of the regular pistol. Evolved to shoot needle like flying mantodeans that impale their targets and burrow in as much as they can before they die. Tracks its target in flight.
    -Mantodean Spine Rifle - Morph off the regular pistol. Designed for hunting more than anything else. The base weapon used to make several other morphs.
    -Mantodean Swarmer Assault Rifle - Morph of the spine rifle. Designed as a combat oriented weapon to fire multiple flying swarmer bugs that chew through armor and tear apart whatever they find inside, be that flesh or mechanical bits.
    -Mantodean Borer Shotgun - Morph of the spine rifle. fires a burst of small worm like creatures with super-heated heads that burn their way through enemy armor before chewing into the host.
    -Mantodean Headhunter Rifle - A powerful morph of the Spine Rifle. Designed to fire a slightly tracking burrowing wasp like creature that targets its victims head. If it doesn't destroy the head on impact or hits elsewhere it deposits a larva that begins eating its way to the head where it grows and then explodes. Causes a severity disease upon impact. 100% severity causes head destruction.
    -Mantodean Locust Assault Rifle - A heavy assault rifle morph of the Swarmer Assault rifle. Fires thousands of swarmer bugs per minute that track and burrow into their hosts chewing up whatever they find.
