	The [[Seeker ~~(EU2012)\|Seeker]]~~ is a ~~biomechanic floating squid~~, somewhat visually similar to TFTD's [[Tentaculat]] (reinforcing this, the Autopsy's project name is "Lovecraft", whose writings were a primary inspiration for TFTD). Its specialty is the ability to become invisible to your [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldier]]'s eyes ~~that is~~ introduced in the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)\|Enemy Within DLC]].		The '''Seeker''' is a biomechanical hover unit with a squidlike design, somewhat visually similar to TFTD's [[Tentaculat]] (reinforcing this, the Autopsy's project name is "Lovecraft", whose writings were a primary inspiration for TFTD). Its specialty is the ability to become invisible to your [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldier]]'s eyes. It was introduced in the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)\|Enemy Within DLC]].

	Seekers ~~have an AI designed~~ as hit and run units that will use their stealth (a.k.a. Cloak) to approach lone [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldiers]] (such as [[Sniper (EU2012)\|Snipers]] with Squad Sight) and attack ~~them through a melee attack of strangulation~~. The victim will not die immediately but will take [[Damage (EU2012)\|damage]] each turn until the Seeker is killed or releases its victim. After a soldier is released from strangulation it will have to catch ~~its~~ breath. Seekers also have a weapon similar to a [[Plasma Pistol (EU2012)\|Plasma Pistol]].		Seekers operate as hit and run units that will use their stealth (a.k.a. Cloak) to approach lone [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldiers]] (such as [[Sniper (EU2012)\|Snipers]] with Squad Sight) and then use their special grappling attack. The victim will not die immediately, but cannot undertake any actions and will take [[Damage (EU2012)\|damage]] each turn until the Seeker is killed or releases its victim. After a soldier is released from strangulation they will have to catch their breath, taking heavy penalties for the next two turns. Seekers also have a weapon similar to a [[Plasma Pistol (EU2012)\|Plasma Pistol]] that they will use on any target they cannot effectively isolate or grapple.

	Seekers are immune to the [[Flamethrower (EU2012)\|Flamethrower]]. They can be detected through the Battle Scanner and the [[Gene Mods (EU2012)#Bioelectric Skin\|Bioelectric Skin]]. The Cloak depletes during movement, behaving rather like the flight mode of [[Archangel Armor (EU2012)\|Archangel Armor]] than the cloak of [[Ghost Armor (EU2012)\|Ghost Armor]].
