Soul Destroyer

Description
Soul destroyers are Massive creatures at the virus disposal. These destroyers are the final stage of mutation from the virus. Unlike most forms of the virus which kill the forms of Darwinians but spare the soul, the destroyer,hence its name, will destroy both forms of a darwinian, thus leaving them as ghosts. Because of this lost darwinians can not be rebirth and thus are lost for ever.

The Soul Destroyers existence is different in the sense that unlike all other viruses, it is not designed to spread the virus further. This it is the only truly "damaging" form of the virus that exists, and the only one that had long-lasting impact on the Darwinia world itself.

Strengths and weakness

 * The destroyer is impervious to nearly all means of damage by normal lazers.
 * The destroyer flies around in unpredictable ways, making a hassle to kill.
 * Machine gun turrets and Rockets are the only ways to kill the Soul Destroyer.
 * Darwinians who have been upgrade to be able to use Grenades are capable to destroying them. Many will die before the Soul Destroyer is taken out and the process is long and random.  They often fire the Grenades at other enemies rather then the Soul Destroyers themselves and tend to only shoot lazers at the Soul Destroyers.  If they are hit by a Grenade, its often by accident as they happen to be in the area of the explosion. Therefore it is not a recommended method of dealing with them.
 * Despite being said to devour souls, they will choose to go after Darwinians and ignore any souls lying on the battlefield. Machine gun turrets can be dangerous to use for this reason as the Soul Destroyer will wipe out all Darwinians manning one making the Squad a better choice in dealing with them.

Trivia

 * In the real world, something that is said to be "Soul Destroying" is referred to as a devastating or traumatic life changing experience or event. This leaves the individual feeling like life is not worth going on as they do not see a way out.  This can be something like being stuck in a dead end job with no way to advance one's status, or a family tragedy or finical loss.
 * Soul Destroyers are based on the worst case scenario of a Virus, wherein entire parts of a computers hard drive is wiped or mass scale destruction of the computers Operating System with no way of recovering what is lost. These type of viruses can be counterproductive as many opt to spread themselves to other computers over this level of damage as the damage dealt is far greater this way and more widespread.
