	The Chryssalid is a savage murderous insect. Standing at about 5 feet, Chryssalids serve the [[alien Life Forms (EU2012)\|alien]] forces as terror agents and are found are mainly found on [[Alien Terror (EU2012)\|Terror]] sites, though sometimes they can be seen defending larger UFOs or structures of importance to the aliens. They are on of the fastest ground units in the game and they use their deadly claws to attack any humans present (either XCOM or civilians) and kill or poison them. If the attacked human dies then a [[Zombie (EU2012)\|Zombie]] will be produced, from which a new Chryssalid will burst after a few turns.		The Chryssalid is a savage murderous insect.

	Upon activation, Chryssalids will dash towards any humans on their vicinity. On Terror Sites, this means that they'll usually spread themselves out but on missions where no civilians are present the entire group will swarm towards your soldiers, which can work for your advantage by using explosives to weaken several of them. Their increased movement (about 12 tiles or squares) and their ability to leap to higher ground also means that there is no safety on heights or behind obstacles.
