In the game, there are four types of Terror Bites: a beetle-like creature, a mosquito-like creature, an armadillo-like creature that explodes, and a mantis-like creature. The beetles and the mosquitos attack in swarms, attempting to latch onto their victims and kill them. The armadillos expands its abdomen and then explode. The mantis usually fights alone or in pairs, splitting into three separate weaker offsprings when one is killed. The Terror Bites seem to be controlled and directed by specific radio frequencies. All members of the Hamlin Battalion, as well as Wild Dog, wear devices that emit signals so that the Terror Bites do not attack them.
