Alpha Crawler

Alpha Crawlers (also known as Crawler Primes) are a class of Promethean Crawlers encountered by the UNSC on the shield world Requiem in late 2557.

Overview
Alpha Crawlers lead packs of lesser Crawlers. They are distinguished from other Crawler subtypes by the array of glowing spikes on their carapaces, and are armed with a built-in Suppressor.

Gameplay
Dealing with Alpha Crawlers in combat is very dangerous, due to the fact that they will often continue to fire on enemies from a distance to overload shields and will follow up with close-in melee attacks to keep enemies' shields from recharging.
