Mites are mutated insects who were created by a single mutagen drop onto common household insects.
Overview[]
Mites are insect-like creatures who are about the site of a rabbit.
Mites are the weakest enemy in the game, dying to a single hit from any weapon. The best weapon to use on them is the shotgun, as it can mop up groups of them easily.
Appearances[]
Mites first appear in The Search, where a whole swarm of them overrun and kill a Spec4 security guard.
In They Get Bigger, two Mites appear in the ventilation shaft prior to your encounter with Mutant Crispy.
In The Last Stand, a group of Mites will appear in the armory, and a large number of them will appear if you stay there.
Mites appear in One Of Them before the first checkpoint, where they can be seen in the big room with the elevator if the player jumps down below.
In Life Or Death, three Mites can be found feasting on the corpse of a scientist, and four more will appear after the player acquires a card. Two more drop down from a vent at the end of the level.
Mites appear one last time in Hatching Parasites. A trio of them are seen feasting on a dead scientist, and three more can be found in the vent that leads to the secret BBG pickup. Six more appear at the end of the level.
Trivia[]
- Mites are hostile to Alien Parasites, as seen in Hatching Parasites, where, if you lead some to the room where the parasites are contained in the tubes, they will attempt to attack them. This is because the Mites fall under a separate faction from the Leapers, who are friendly to the parasites.
