Cheese Sticks
Crawler slang for the enemy soldiers massing in the Madness dune buggy column.
Story so far
When hundreds of troop-laden Madness Dune Buggies halt a kilometer from the treeline and start throwing flares and torch spells into the smoky night sky, Splash Zone sizes up the numbers with "That's a lot of cheese sticks."
Elle adds that more are probably coming too, and Carl calls for shields up. The name is the crawlers' standing term for these enemies, and their own long-range missiles are named Cheese Cutters to match.
Appearance
Massed enemy soldiers riding dune buggies behind glowing shield lines.
Role
The crawlers' nickname for the Madness rank and file facing them.
Relationships
The Madness — The faction fielding them.
Cheese Cutters — The crawler missiles named for killing them.
