The Hardfangs are a breed of Chimera similar to the Hybrids but are known to be tougher and crueler.

The conversion process of this sub strain have been skewed in favor of heightening the creatures aggressiveness. This had the added effect of removing any form of self-preservation instinct. As such, the Hardfangs are often seen rushing into combat where they make use of their Arc Charger to strike at any enemy targets present.

Royal Marine Commandos often make use of designated marksmen to eliminate the Hardfangs before they can get close enough to become a threat.

[edit] Tactics

Hardfangs will not use cover often, and will commonly charge straight for you, so they're pretty easy to kill. One tactic is to hide in a corner or enclosed space, wait for them to come to you, then blow them away with your Shotgun. Just be careful of their Arc Chargers, as these can do serious damage to your health. Using the Fareye and slow down time is also an efficient way of killing them before they could get close enough to damage you.
