Berserkers were female Locust Drones[4].
Blind but powerful, Berserkers were known for their highly developed
senses, near indestructible bodies and uber-aggressive behavior.
Before the Locustinvasion of Sera's human-ruled overworld, Berserkers were raped in order to reproduce due to their blindness and incredibly aggressive behavior[5]; they were often chained down for protection's sake.
During the Evacuation of Ilima,
a Berserker was sent to Ilima High School, where it slaughtered
hundreds of civilians waiting to be evacuated. She was later discovered
by Zeta-Six, who had been sent to investigate the school. They battled the "ugly bitch", as remarked by Michael Barrick,
through the gymnasium as they tried to find an exit, as they did they
lured her outside and observed her running into a parked car, which
exploded and weakened the Berserker's armor. The Gears
took advantage of this and began shooting the vulnerable beast; after
several attempts (and several vehicles), the Berserker finally fell by
Zeta's hand; with Barrick remarking that she was "almost as tough as my
ex".[6]
At least three Berserkers took part in the Lightmass Offensive, all deployed against Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. The first one was in the fallen Ephyra, unleashed in the Tomb of the Unknowns after a massive firefight with Locust General RAAM in the streets. While safe from the outside Locust, the Berserker began hunting the remains of Alpha Squad and Delta Squad, killing the Drones that had her chained and beginning a rampage through the Tomb, killing Gyules and forcing Marcus and Dom to lure the Berserker outside of their refuge and use the Hammer of Dawn
against it. She passed through a wall towards Marcus and Dom and began
stalking them, however the Gears were able to use her brute strength to
lure her outside of the tomb, after several doors were brought down by
the Berserker they finally lured her outside with just a few minutes to
burn her with the Hammer of Dawn. After several Hammer strikes, the
Berserker was slain. [A second Berserker was encountered on the way to
the Fenix Estate;
at the conservatory Marcus and Dom passed through, at first they tried
to evade her but as she destroyed two walls and continued to follow the
gears they were forced to fight her; she was tricked into smashing the
support pillars of the ceiling to allow Marcus to drop the Hammer of
Dawn on it before time ran out. The final Berserker was fought on the Tyro Pillar, who ran fast enough to catch up to and jump onto the train. Given the speed of the Pillar and Nemacyst
preventing the use of the Hammer of Dawn, Marcus and Dom improvised,
cutting off the last segment of the train when the Berserker was on it;
crushing her instantly.
The Kantus were one of the Locust's
three primary species, making up the religious sect of the Horde. Known
for their powerful screams, Kantus are presumed to be extinct along
with the rest of the Locust Horde after the detonation of Adam Fenix's Imulsion Countermeasure in the year 17 A.E.[3]
While a Kantus may share a similar body structure with a drone,
it doesn't take much to tell the two apart. Usually standing at seven
feet tall, Kantus are taller, slimmer and far more bestial-looking than
the average Locust grunt.
Kantus had multiple rows of teeth, snake-like forked tongues and
feet that sported three toes each which were sprayed out for stability.
Kantus also had chalky, leather-like skin, which displayed spiky
protrusions located on the upper-arm which gave them the illusion of
armor.
One of the Kantus' most notable traits was their powerful vocal
cords and pheromones. A Kantus' scream could serve many uses, ranging
from manipulating creatures to something as simple as stunning a Gear.
But perhaps the most infamous of all their skills was the ability to
reinvigorate injured or fallen Locust through chanting, getting them
"fighting mad" again. Whether the Kantus uses a religious text or their
natural pheromones to do this is unclear.
