Contaminator

A Contaminator was a hideously-deformed mutant spawned from the Tleilaxu Flesh Vats. They appear as an infantry unit in Emperor: Battle for Dune, where it is available to any factions affiliated with the Bene Tleilax sub-faction of It carries a lethal virus, capable of turning human beings into additional Contaminators. Any infantry killed in close combat with a Contaminator will be reborn as a Contaminator, under the command of the player controlling the original Contaminator. The Contaminator is only effective against infantry, however; its attack is extremely weak against enemy vehicles and structures.
