Etherleech

Description
Bizarre parasite native to Sagan-1, able of drain etherwatts from our refineries.

Fires energy balls to disable Towers before syphoning everything, even Marine's cell phone batteries.

Etherleeches are dark purple and green that resemble winged bugs. They are not directly dangerous to units but are detrimental to a commander's defenses, as they are capable of leeching Etherwatts from Etherium Refineries. Special Ether Syphon: Attack structures stealing 40 Etherwatts from the player reserve. (Range 160, Cooldown 5 seconds)

Strategy

 * Shellstorms are primarily excellent against them, as they deal 5x more damage to aerial enemies.
 * Snipers can deal massive damage against these enemies, and are able to two shot them as a group.
 * The Rocket Tower is another decent option. One Rocket Tower is usually not enough to stop an Etherleech before it siphons Etherwatts, but two Rocket Towers are a reliable way to clear through them.
 * Diplomats will interrupt an Etherleech's siphon ray if their stun orbs are timed correctly. However, this is not very reliable. Although their Tulpa Sentries will not distract Etherleeches because they exclusively target towers and refineries, Diplomats can be used to stall Etherleeches and let other support units/towers kill them.

Trivia

 * Etherleeches bear a resemblance to Moths. Moths are attracted to light as Etherleeches are attracted to Etherwatts. Furthermore, their wings and body structures are alike.
 * When an Etherleech siphons Etherwatts it does so from the entire Etherwatt reserve, which implies that the refineries are somehow connected with eachother through the transfer of Etherwatts.
