"A spideresque hybrid horror. Keep your eye on the firepod he hurls."

Vores (also known as Shalraths) are very tough opponents that attack with homing explosive pods. When a Vore throws one, run (fortunately, the firepods don't fly quite as fast as you can run). Get around a sharp corner, which the pods have difficulty maneuvering around. To kill a Vore you will generally have to find cover and get behind it whenever a firepod is hurled at you, popping out regularly to wear the Vore down.

Another useful tactic is to lure the homing pods into another monster, causing the offended monster to fight the Vore while you watch. If you are bored, and have enough room, you can run in circles as the Vore throws more and more firepods. Once you have half a dozen or so of these things flying after you, lure them into someone for an extra painful explosion. These tactics are especially useful in certain user-made maps where ammo is scarce.
