KRYLL The Kryll are a species of nocturnal, carnivorous, bat-like creatures that attack in large swarms. They're invincible, thanks to their overwhelming numbers and their ability to devour a human in seconds. Straying into a darkened area after sunset is almost certain suicide, as only the quickest dive back into the light can bring back salvation—no amount of firepower can help you! Aside from the UV Turret (in the chapter title "Viaducts"), there is no way to defeat the Kryll. Therefore, the only strategy for dealing with them is to stay out of the light to avoid encountering them in the first place. However, you can use the Kryll against other Locust enemies! These indiscriminate feasters attack and kill everything caught in the dark—put them to work by shooting out the fluorescent lights near the enemies, and watch as the Kryll do your bidding! Kryll were highly aggressive flying pack creatures native to the Outer Hollow of Sera, first appearing on the planet's surface following the initial Locust invasion on Emergence Day. Being subterranean creatures, they are extremely photosensitive, due to the normally low amount of light in their caves, and avoid light if at all possible, which almost blinds them to the point of physical pain. Humans use this to their advantage at night to keep from being devoured, and have even adapted ultraviolet searchlights to be used as weapons against the foul beasts. During the day, Kryll rest in Locust tunnels and feed at night, so consumed by bloodlust that they will attack anything not near a light source, whether it be Human or Locust. Kryll will not hesitate to devour any Locust Drone, Stranded, Gear, or basically any living thing foolish enough to leave the light. Much like bats or the insectoid locust, the Kryll hunt in great swarms, combining their efforts to bring down prey much as a piranha might, with hundreds of the small creatures uniting to strip a helpless victim to the bone in seconds. Marcus did not seem initially aware of their existence during the first Gears of War, suggesting the Kryll began to appear sometime after his incarceration but before being rescued and pardoned. Nor is there any evidence that Kryll were a problem for the humans of Sera before the Locust Horde attacked. This combined with RAAM's unique Kryll wrangling ability among other things raises all sorts of questions about the true nature of the Locust Horde and the origin of the Kryll themselves. After the detonation of the Lightmass Bomb, the Kryll breeding grounds were all destroyed and the species is now endangered or possibly extinct as they are not featured in Gears of War 2. It is likely they were destroyed, as in the War Journal Baird writes about the Riftworm being woken up by the Lightmass Bomb, and also that all the Kryll had been killed.

If you're not in the light, you're being munched down and split into pieces by the fast moving creatures.
