Tactical notes

Muckstars use their psionic abilities to travel towards your soldiers and to direct a burst of electricity at them without the electricity earthing, although they have no other psionic capacity. Although this electricity has a moderately long range, the damage potential is not that great.

Because of their size, muckstars are visible over a great distance, which makes them vunerable regardless of what weapons you use.

It is possible to take a muckstar alive, although it is too big to carry. A muckstar will become unconscious when its health is reduced to 500 hit points or below, 25% of the starting total.
