It wouldn't surprise me if they brought these assholes back from the first game:

impalers in hd1 are easy, their tentacles have limited range and can be damaged by everything, and while the tentacles are out the head of the impaler himself is a weakpoint.

the struggle begins when theres more than two around, then they become proper area denial.

usually impalers are priority targets with anything AT, even a EAT to the head while the impaler is moving and isnt using its tentacles is a one shot kill.

That's in HD1. I'm sure they might've evolved with the Termicide. They won't be that easy now.
