- Piercer - variant utilizes high-speed needle-like projectiles at range.
- Toxic - variant utilizes lobbed projectiles that explode in sprays of acid, leaving caustic puddles on the ground at their impact location.

- Devil's Flower - variant will launch a three-round barrage of explosive ordinance from range.
- Ghost - variant is cloaked when out of combat, and will pop smoke to cover it's movement when approaching it's target.
