While walking about or attacking, Striders produce many different vocalizations, such as growls, groans, whoops, and howls when killed, they let out a mournful cry.

The three long legs of the Strider are tipped with sharp spikes and a rosette of finer, hair-like spines. On the "head" of the Strider is a rapid-firing pulse cannon, with a heavier warp cannon suspended below. The Strider's body is covered in a smooth brown carapace or exoskeleton.

Striders are capable of pursuing hostiles in both confined streets and open plazas, even crouching down to fire at enemies who seek cover under overhangs or in bombed-out buildings.
