They come first — not as soldiers, but as a warning. A hiss in the dark. A claw scraping metal. The Crawler Swarm is the first wave of any alien incursion, flooding choke points, overwhelming defenses, and shredding anything foolish enough to stand still. Their bodies are low, agile, and terrifyingly efficient — claws for climbing, teeth for ripping, tails for balance as they lunge at impossible angles.

They are not scouts. They are not scouts — they are exterminators.

Designed by the Hive to be deployed in overwhelming numbers, these creatures tear through hull plates, ventilation shafts, and cargo ports like living drills. When one appears, it’s already too late — there are more behind it. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands.

Wargamers use them as fast melee shock troops, role-players as nightmare ambushers, painters as biomechanical horror display pieces. Whether you’re building a swarm army or running a sci-fi survival campaign, the Crawler Swarm adds speed, terror, and cinematic impact to any battlefield or tabletop scene.

They are the beginning of the invasion.The first breath of fear.And the last thing many ever see.
