** Reavers: Large, flying squid-likeReaver.beasts. Usually affixed with mounted guns. Skorge has his own personal Reaver called the Hydra which is somewhat larger than average.
** Seeders: Towering insect-like creatures. Used as artillery/mortar launchers by firing Nemacyst out of their thoraxes.
** Nemacyst: Sort of like a mini-Reaver. Leaves a trail of ink as it flies through the air. Used effectively both as ammunition and to block out communications by covering the sky in ink. Baby Nemacyst are used as ink grenades.
** Corpsers: Giant, spider-like digging creatures used to make Emergence Holes for Locust ground troops to funnel out of.
** Riftworm: A giant worm that appears in ''Gears of War 2''. There is only one, and the Locust used it to sink entire cities. Then you kill it from the inside.
** Brumaks: Big honkin' dinosaur-like things with chainguns and rocket launchers strapped to them. Basically the Locust tanks.
** Leviathans: Giant fish-like monsters that live underwater. May not be tamed by the Locust as they chuckle and retreat when you get close to its lair. ''Anvil Gate'' confirms that there are more than one, and that they can go Lambent.

** Due to the mechanics of the game, the different units from the three factions hardly differ aside from cosmetic differences. For example, a Norse steam tank is about as powerful as a dinosaur with a catapult on its back.
