THE LAMBENT


The Lambent, or glowies (as the Serans call them), references to a mutated variant of the Locust, created from prolonged exposure to Imulsion. There have only been three breeds of Lambent shown so far. The Lambent share the same technology, armor, weapons, and Drones share the same appearance. Most Lambent differ in behavior, appearance, and death from Locust. The Lambent are first introduced in the first Gears of War, and are further shown in Gears of War 2 where they are fighting the Locust in what seems to be some sort of civil war between the original Locust Horde and the Lambent Horde for control of the Hollow. They have the ability to transform in mid battle, after taking several hits.

In the upcoming Gears of War Book, Gears of War: Anvil Gate, the Lambent invade the surface of Sera. In Gears of War 3, they have been confirmed to be the main antagonists.


LAMBENT FORMS

The Lambent consist of a organic root parasite that infects other organisms, causing them to rapidly mutate into impulse driven, feral and monstrous forms of their former selves. This parasite is linked to the Imulsion fluid that exists on Sera, as exposure to Imulsion vapours seen to be what causes the Lambent infection. This is shown when several Locust Gunboats abandon their pursuit of Delta Squad over Lake in the Hollow, in order to avoid the vapours, and also when a Brumak wanders through a large quantity of them and mutates into its Lambent form.

Polyp
The most basic form is known as a Lambent Polyp, which has a crab-like appearance is normally spewed from Lambent hosts after they have been destroyed.

Stalks
Lambent Stalks are huge plantlike tentacles that swarm over battle sites, dropping other Lambent forms into their enemies midst. These are massive, and easily identifiable from the smaller mutation of the Lambent Drudges. The opening level of Gears 3 involves Lambent Stalks rising out the ocean, dropping other Lambent onto the Raven's Nest.

Drudge
The Lambent Drudge, hideously mutated Locust Drones, are the most recognisable part of the Lambent's fighting force. However, these creatures have lost all forms of sentience seen in the Lambent Drones that attacked the Locust city of Nexus. They have the ability to morph their ligaments and heads, forcing its enemies to constantly change tactics and becoming an even deadlier threat.

Lambent Wretch
Lambent Wretches are one of only three encountered Lambent-infected Locust. Delta Squad ran into several of them in the Imulsion Factory on Jacinto Plateau. It is likely they are amongst the lambent that invade the surface of Sera 18 months after the sinking of Jacinto.

Lambent Drone
A mutated Locust Drone that has not yet mutated into a Drudge form. These Drones are share the same appearance as a regular Drone but have glowing skin. Lambent Drones can further mutate into other forms, such as the Drudge or a Stalk-like form which retains the drones head and claws.

Lambent Brumak
The Lambent Brumak is the largest known Lambent creature. They are at least double the size of a regular Brumak, sporting large, snapping tentacles it is barely recognizable once its mutation is complete.

Lambent Berserker
The E3 2010 demo confirmed that there will be Lambent Berserkers as well. They can also spawn from the Lambent Stalks. The Lambent Berserkers are bigger, faster, much more violent than their standard counterpart, and they jump unlike the original Berserkers. They have long spider-like appendages that sprout from their backs and have been shown to be much less vulnerable to the Hammer of Dawn than normal Berserkers; able to take three simultaneous blasts without significant injury.


RELATIONS WITH THE LOCUST HORDE

"We cannot allow the Lambent to pollute the surface. We must bury their infection here!"
—Queen Myrrah

The Locust Horde and the Lambent are in a state of civil war and fighting for control of The Hollow. The Locust Queen herself considers the Lambent as an infection to the Locust Horde and lower life forms, she explains this on a transmission (heard by Delta Squad before planning the flooding of Jacinto).


RUST LUNG

Due to the way in which Lambent infections have been seen to affect the Locust Horde, there is a possible connection between the mutation and the Rust Lung condition that has arisen amongst the surviving Human population since the Lightmass Bombing. This is because both conditions are caused by breathing in Imulsion vapours, suggesting the Lambent parasite exists within the substance. However, a direct link is not yet proven as they are no known cases of Locust Rust Lung and no Humans are known to have become Lambent.
