No matter how much territory or resources they acquire, every breath they take is dedicated solely to destroying the human race.
Kill All Humans: This seems to be the only reason for their species' existence. Invading Refugees: Downplayed - while they were losing ground to the lambent in the Hollow, revelations in Gears 5 indicates Myrrah would've eventually invaded the surface anyway to get revenge on mankind. Gears 5 seems to indicate that the Locust reproduce fairly normally, so this isn't due to them not having children. Hide Your Children: Lampshaded by Baird, who remarks in one of the collectible intel items that it's strange despite fighting straight into the heart of the Locust civilization, there are no Locust children running around to shoot. Despite this, Adam Fenix (the one human who knows enough of their origins to possibly sympathize with them) is perfectly fine with allowing them to die out when his Imulsion countermeasure fires because of how much unprovoked destruction they wrought upon mankind. Furthermore, their invasion of the surface was spurred on by other Lambent entities attacking them in the Hollow, turning them into Invading Refugees. Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: It's eventually revealed that the Locusts descend from the first humans to develop Rustlung (the earliest stage of Lambency in humans), who were experimented on to be used a Super Soldiers by the COG. Elaborate Underground Base: Their capital city of Nexus. Dark Is Evil: Locust forces have a penchant for dark colors on their armor. And this is for those that don't meet up with the Locusts' standards! Those that do? They get turned into new Locust Drones. Cold-Blooded Torture: "Processing", which involve beating a person with a bladed whip, as well as many other forms of torture, and ends with lobotomy. It caused them to undergo a 25-year-long evolution process that turned them into the more powerful Scions. Came Back Strong: Turns out Adam's weapon didn't kill the Locust after all, or at least not all of them. Gears Tactics reveals that these masks were designed by Ukkon, and are how the Locust control their creatures. Cool Helmet: While some Locust wear interesting looking helmets, it's far more prevalent among their Beasts Of Battle, almost all of which wear specialized masks. We've tagged them Locusts since this degree of death has only been seen in times of plague. Scientist: Frankly, other than the fact that they want to kill every man, woman and child out there, we know nothing about them. Summed up nicely with the following quote from an anonymous scientist who first named them. In fact, the only reason they were called Locust was because humanity knows nothing about them and the amount of death and destruction they cause can only be associated with some type of plague. Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Despite their name and hive societal structure, they're very clearly not insects. Initially carved out by the Riftworms and corpsers, the Locust gradually expand it to contain their entire civilization. Beneath the Earth: The Locust Horde lives in a massive tunnel network beneath the surface of Sera known as the Hollow. Bee People: Locust society is structured with a Queen at the top, and lots and lots of disposable drones. Always Chaotic Evil: They're vicious monsters who regard humans as mere cattle. Their motives for this were revealed in Gears of War 3: the Lambent were overwhelming the Locust in the Hollow, and after Adam Fenix failed to find a solution, Queen Myrrah invaded the surface to make a new home for the Locust as they continued their war, not believing that humanity could be trusted. The Locust invaded the surface of Sera six weeks after the end of the Pendulum Wars, beginning a war that would result in the death of 99% of the human population. They use a variety of bio-engineered beasts for transport, construction, and war. Chief of the COG Defense Staff, General Bardry Salaman describing the LocustĪ race of subterranean humanoids that live in the Hollow, a massive network of tunnels beneath the surface of Sera.
