**Designation:** Stalker **Classification:** Scout / Early Warning **Physical Description:** Quadrupedal units roughly the size of a large dog. Four triple-jointed legs attached to a compact, angular central chassis. No discernible "head"—instead, a cluster of optical sensors and antennae protrude from the front of the body, constantly rotating and scanning. Matte grey-black plating designed for low visibility. Moves with an unsettling, spider-like fluidity. Near-silent operation except for faint servo clicks when changing direction. **Behavioral Patterns:** Stalkers rarely engage directly. Their purpose is observation and communication—when a Stalker spots a target, other Machines know. They patrol in irregular patterns designed to cover maximum ground, often pausing at elevated positions to scan. If detected, they flee rather than fight, prioritizing information relay over self-preservation. Killing a Stalker quickly is essential; failing to do so means heavier units are inbound. **Threat Level:** Low (direct combat) / Critical (tactical implications) **Known Weaknesses:** Lightly armored—small arms fire can disable them. Sensor clusters are fragile. They struggle in dense vegetation where sight lines are limited. Can be confused by decoys or signal interference, though only briefly. **Salvage Value:** Sensor arrays, optical components, communication relays. High-value salvage for Dybhavn's Echo units and surveillance systems. **Scavenger Field Notes:** "You hear clicks, you freeze. You see one, you drop it fast and quiet. You let it run, you've got maybe ninety seconds before Sentinels arrive. Stalkers aren't dangerous. What they *bring* is dangerous." — Sergeant Maren Villadsen
