Dreadlancers are immense colonial organisms consisting of Swarm components that serve as living starships for the Swarm. Each dreadlancer is built around a plasma cannon and possesses four brains which can repair the dreadlancer, self-terminate when captured or eliminate a potentially rebellious brain. A dreadlancer's components are not combatants, but it can carry troops and a living transport shuttle.
