Splinter Cocoons are protective structures secreted by Splinters, within which they can enter a state of hibernation.[1] Though durable, they can still be destroyed by standard weapons fire. The Splinter inside will be killed if the cocoon is destroyed, but the dying Splinter will emit a shriek that will alert any Splinters hibernating nearby, which, in turn, will be driven to attack.[2]
