Lambent DroneĪ normal Locust drone turned lambent. Several new forms are introduced in Gears of War 3. There are many different kinds of lambent Locust.

The lambent have returned in Gears of War 3 and are a major threat in that game. It is killed by Marcus and explodes with enough force to sink Jacinto.
The Lambent Brumak begins to grow multiple tentacles and heads. After commandeering a Brumak, Marcus and Dom steer it into a pool of Immulsion, causing it to turn Lambent. The Locust Queen reveals her plan to sink Jacinto and flood the Hallow to prevent the Lambent from taking over their home. The Lambent and the Locusts engage each other while Delta Squad head for the queen’s palace. In Gears of War 2, they were a whole different faction. They first appear in the original Gears of War but at the time were only Wretches which would explode when killed. The Lambent are infected versions of the different types of Locust horde.
