Prime Hunter.

The Goliath is a superheavy infantry unit deployed by Colony to protect areas it

finds of particular importance. It is walking tank that bulldozes foes with its

powerful melee smash attacks, crushing anything that gets in its way. What it

can’t immediately destroy with its smashing blows can be dealt with using the

Goliath’s ram ability, which does massive damage and stuns the target

temporarily. The Goliath's Rage upgrade significantly increases melee and ram

damage, making it even more of a terror against enemy vehicles.

Unlike a typical Mgalekgolo pair, which splits a colony into two independent

bodies, the Goliath is a Hunter-style body containing a single colony that

optimizes brute strength over all other considerations. Inside the Goliath’s

armored shell most of the Lekgolo eel-worms in the gestalt adapt to function

as corded pseudo-muscle and thick-skinned protective bands, with a minimum

of sensory and cognitive function. Goliaths are not easily self-sustained due to

their ravenous hunger for nutrients, and are typically only seen in times of

extreme danger among feral Lekgolo, but Colony can coerce or direct subsidiary

Hunter gestalts into this form seemingly at will.
