cloneling

The head and torso of the cloneling are comprised of skull-sized, hexagonal pyramids of polished chrome. Four many-jointed chrome rods swivel from their core, wielding rusty scalpels, and another hangs limply: the cloneling's genetic nanoprinter.

A cloneling is a creature commonly found throughout Bethesda Susa and on levels 2 and 4 of Golgotha.[1] Though a cloneling has four scalpels it can use as melee weapons, its principal threat is its ability to produce clones.

A cloneling spawns with 10-40 uses of its cloning ability.[2] Periodically, a cloneling will pick a random tile it can see, and if it finds a cloneable creature there that it can reach, will attempt to clone that creature.[3] If it succeeds, a clone of the creature will be created that shares the original creature's faction affiliations and has an empty inventory (much as if they had been cloned using cloning draught).[4][5]

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Clonelings are most obviously threatening when there are powerful cloneable hostiles nearby, since their clones will also be hostile. However, if the player or the player's party members have offensive area of effect abilities, any clones of them will share these abilities and use them without restriction, leaving the player vulnerable to crossfire even when the clones are friendly. Consequently, prioritising the destruction of clonelings is often a good idea.
