So far I've gone blank on how to catch these two alive - so please answer the unenlightened person - me.

It's the rain
It's the storm we all have to endure
We hate it, but it's every drop that runs down your face that traces out who you are
Your shape
The storm shows me so much
I accept all I see

We are beautiful.

Queen - The queen has 640 health points or thereabouts (check with a mind bender just to be sure). One stun grenade or the stun grapples can only deal up to 80 or so paralysis points at a time. Anything above that needs a consecutive stream of stun grenades, which is rather a waste, and you also have to time your throws in between detonations just right.

The easiest method I can think of is to just bring the queen's hit points down to 80 or slightly below that, then your stun weapons will work just fine.


Overspawn - I take it you meant the overspawn right? Big, potato like thing with claws stuck into it, walks about city making a general nuisance of itself, tends to accidentally commit suicide, otherwise a rather fun monster to watch?

You can't capture one. Well, technically you can't by any conventional means available, however, some players have reported being able to capture one, so you could rely on luck and hope for the best.

If only capturing overspawns was more common, then we might be able to spot a pattern of some sort.

If you meant the Megaspawn, well, just do the same as with the queen. Cripple it to 80 or under hitpoints and you should do fine.
