The Nemacyte is a bipedal enemy only found within the Rift Worm, in Act 2, Chapter 6: Intestinal Fortitude. The Nemacyte is the Rift Worm's secondary means of destroying living organisms within its stomach area, the primary force being its digestive teeth. They are medium sized, about the size of a Gear soldier, being 6 feet from head to tail. Their bodies consist of a rounded trunk, with two large, pincer-like legs used for movement. For stability, the Nemacytes have a tail that extends from their body and trails behind them as the crawl along on their legs. The Nemacyte is spawned from small holes inside the Rift Worms stomach, and usually travel in small groups, consisting of only three or four at a time. They move quickly, and once they begin attacking an enemy, are hard to remove as they attempt to eat you. Nemacytes, however, are incredibly weak-health wise. A small burst from the Lancer Assault Rifle is enough to kill them permanently. They seem to live just under the surface of the worm's stomach, emerging from holes that open up in the ground. They also appear to have some acidic-based quality, as Benjamin Carmine seemed to have acid all over him after being mauled by them, but this could be because he was thrown into the worms digestive tentacles that cover most of its stomach.
[edit] Trivia
- When Carmine dies they seem to have spit acid on his chest which burned through his armor, though it might just be the Rift Worm's digestive juices at work.
- Nemacytes appear to serve the same function as human white blood cells: protecting the body from possible infections.
