* MagikarpPower: At first glance Gunner seem to be plain overkill with his firepower for what the game throws at you, but on higher hazard levels having one makes for a much smoother experience, especially when dealing with missions like Salvage Operation, Escort Duty and Elimination.

* RequiredPartyMember: Inverted on On-Site Refining and Point Extraction, where Molly doesn't join the team for those missions, forcing them to deposit all items into the Refiner and Mine Head, respectively. Trying to call for her with her HollerButton will have the Dwarf range from lamenting her absence to [[FailedASpotCheck calling for her anyway]] [[DamnYouMuscleMemory and then remembering she's not actually there]].

* StalkingMission: Optional, but uf Molly is required to call for extraction she'll leave a trail of glowing posts to indicate the path she's taking to the Drop Pod. Optional as sometimes you can find other ways to it, or a Driller can make his own way back to the Drop Pod.



* WallCrawl: Is able to scale walls and ceilings to reach her destination from any angle. Useful if you need her and there isn't a stable footing pathway to where you are; annoying if she hangs out on walls where you can't reach; possibly mission-ending if she takes a ceiling shortcut that the team doesn't have the maneuverability to follow.

* BerserkButton: Using the Lithofoam and Lithovac on it will make the Corruptor go ''ballistic'' on the Dwarves.



* TheCorruption: Its in its very name and it spreads the rockpox throughout the map at a slow, but steady pace. Not a problem if your mission doesn't require you to backtrack, but on mission like Point Extractions, Egg Hunts and On-Site Refining where the maps tend to be more condensed it can become a huge problem if the Lithophage Corruptor isn't dealt with soon enough.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: Dwarves mention these eventually become if fragments of the meteorites containing Plaguehearts aren't dealt with.

* MadeOfIron: Once one of its shells is broke you are free to damage it, but without destroying its blue cores the damn thing is so sturdy you'd need enough ammo to bring down ''multiple Dreadnoughts''.

* MiniBoss: It can randomly show up in the middle of most missions, gets its own healthbar, and can hit as hard as a ''dreadnought'', but its destruction isn't necessary to complete the mission. However, it provides a nice points bonus from the Plaguehearts it drops on death, and killing it will also stop it from spreading its spores all over the place and interfering with the mission proper.

Added DiffLines:

* RoarBeforeBeating: Whenever its about to attack it'll let out a shrill roar. If its sending its rockpox spikes it'll roar multiple times in quick succession.

* ScreamingWarrior: The dwarves are as loud with their mouths as they are with their guns and will often scream in a battle frenzy while killing hordes of bugs.

* AchillesHeel: His weakness is a total lack of crowd control. His weapons are best suited for killing enemies one at a time, and his limited-use grenades only impede enemies instead of spreading damage around. The Scout can move like nothing else in the game, but his inability to hold his ground means that he has to keep moving if he wants to stay alive. And while his grappling hook helps him reach for items in high places in the cave, retrieving them from pits or bringing them up to higher places will be extremely difficult without help.

** Some of his overclocks captalize on the Scout's ability to quickly dispatch anything through weakpoint hits. Deepcore [=GK2=]'s AI Stability Engine makes his assault rifle have ''zero'' recoil and increased weakpoint damage at cost of fire rate and a bit of raw damage. M1000 Classic's Supercooling Chamber gives a '''massive''' boost to charged shots at cost of making focus slower, reduced gun clip and ammo and taking away the ability to move while charging up the gun.

* AmusingInjuries: They usually get (but rarely only) hurt by angry wildlife and/or stabbed by seemingly living vines, poisoned by fungi, burnt by magma, frozen solid by violent blizzards, pushed into pits by sand geysers and get rad poisoning among many, many other unfortunate things while working.

** Bosco can do almost anything any other class can do-- offer light like Scouts, dig hard to reach minerals, or Alien Eggs, that would require extensive use of transvesal tools. The issue is that Bosco cannot do these things the same speed and efficiency a midly skilled player could. The one thing Bosco is generally regarded to be superior to any player is his ability to dig out gems like Jaditz, Enor Pearls and Aquarqs, and Alien Eggs with perfect accuracy.
