The Hive is a giant flying enemy shaped like an upright oval. Unlike most enemies the Hive’s outer layer containing its core is mostly squishy as it’s fungal body has outgrown its now broken metal shell thus it doesn’t take as much damage to break its outer layer and expose its core. Hives generally spawn with low shields and a booster to allow it to fly. The hive always spawns with attachments unique to itself: Hornet Spawners.
Hornet Spawners are medium sized and have a decent amount of hp. As the name suggests while attached to an enemy they periodically fire a hornet.
Gameplay wise the Hive is an enemy that incentivizes the player to not immediately kill it or at least try not to, but rather destroy its attachments first or possibly risking other enemies to pick up the hornet spawners and making the situation worse or unchanged.
