** Nettlers are a prime example. Their attacks don't seem immediately harmful, doing 2 damage ''at most''... however, they will ''always'' stun you (excluding Scarecrow and Tin Man). On the enemy's turn, this means your Overwatch is negated and other enemies can deal double damage, during your turn they can go on Overwatch, which essentially turns their line of sight into a giant wall your units can't pass that turn. While you ''can'' kill them, it's very difficult, since they hover out of range of most weapons and are extremely small targets. At the very least they drop a large amount of gold when killed, to help lessen the pain of dealing with them in the first place.

It's not so bad if one can be lured away from the other, but if the thawed Dreadnought walks toward the other, you'll have to fight both of them, and they ''will'' make sure to keep their chests protected at all times. And you'll also have respawning Prowlers with grenade launchers to contend with, too...

Lion because he is ''highly'' mobile, can endure a few hits, and provides a defense bonus for everyone.

There are also Nettlers, making things even more annoying. When you finally get to the Queen alien you have to take down, you have a very limited area to fight in: get too close and its birthing scream will stun you, but the dense terrain prevents you from fighting effectively from a distance, ''and'' much of the ground in the area hides Lurkers, limiting where you can move. All the while, the Queen is spawning Slashers, normally TheGoomba but becoming outright DemonicSpiders here due to their massive movement range in such a cramped area, meaning they'll likely close in on you with enough movement left to hit you twice. And it spawns two per turn, which can move immidiately. And reinforcements spawn the turn you first get near the Queen.
