Locust Horde

The Locust Horde is the main antagonist faction in the Gears of War franchise.

Characteristics
The Locust Horde is a race of strong, thick-skinned humaniods who lived in The Hollow, the giant tunnels underground on the planet Sera. The Locust Horde declared a war of genocide against Humanity when The Lambent started to take over The Hollow.

The Locust Horde have a matriarch based monarchy and are lead by Queen Myrrah, who's word is law to all Locust. When Queen Myrrah went missing at the end of Gears of War 2, most Locust became savage and left the Horde in small groups to settle on their own, however these groups lacked leadership and were very disorganised.

The Locust Horde's main weaponary are whatever they scavenge from Humans, also the Locust use many of the creatures who dwell in The Hollow as well as weapons and mounts. Tickers, Corpsers and Wretches are among the few of these creatures who have been tamed to serve the purpose of weapons for the Locust Horde.thumb|300px|right|Locust fighting Humans
