Dig Attack	comment	An attack that a Mole Monster can use on targets, digging underneath the target and surfacing only to strike. Opponents are at the mercy of such an attack if they have no way of hitting the user underground and have to wait until the user breaches from the surface. May involve Fast Tunnelling and Worm Sign. May overlap with Barrier-Busting Blow or Ankle Drag. See also Antlion Monster and Sand Worm.

Dig Attack / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: Starcraft I has the Zerg's burrowing ability, which allows every ground unit (except the Ultralisk) to burrow, sacrificing movement for invisibility. Lurkers, an evolution of the Hydralisk, need to be burrowed to attack by sending rows of spines at enemies. Ultralisks in Starcraft II have an optional campaign-only ability called Burrow Charge, where they burrow, tunnel towards the enemy and breach explosively, damaging the units. The Apocalisk has one of the greatest examples of the power of Zerg exploding from beneath your feet. Not only does the Apocalisk have the ability to use the above burrow effect to greater potential due to its sheer size, but when called from the center of a cluster of enemies it bursts from the ground and deals an extensive amount of initial damage before tearing through everything around it. Roaches and Infestors can move around while buried. They can't attack, but the Roach heals a lot faster, while the Infestor can still create Infested Marines while underground. Banelings had the ability to do so as well, but were removed. The Widow Mine is a unit introduced in the Heart of the Swarm chapter. Mobile-mode can reversibly burrow, becoming immobile, impossible to target without use of detection, as well as gaining the ability to attack any nearby enemies with high, Area of Effect damage. The drawbacks are lock-on activation lag and attack cooldown, but still it is available at a low tech level and complements strategies heavy on mechanical units.

Dig Attack / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: Monster Hunter (2004): Diablos and Monoblos, despite being Flying Wyverns, make very little use of their wings to fly. Instead, they utilize the fingers in front to dig through sand incredibly quickly, and burst right under you leading to many a cart. However, when a sonic bomb or other source of loud noise is deployed near the monster while it's underground, it typically surfaces early and unprepared, allowing the Hunter to take advantage of its weakness. Monster Hunter Freedom 2: Akantor can burrow underground and reappear elsewhere. Although it is used offensively, it is more often used to put a fair distance between itself and Hunters to make the Hunters easy targets for its devastating Sonic Blast attack. In the Updated Re-release Freedom Unite, Ukanlos not only can burrow underground as well, but also chase the hunter with homing accuracy while partially diving through the icy ground, which makes it very hard to dodge. Monster Hunter 4: Zamtrios can sometimes burrow into the ground/underwater and then drill up under a Hunter's feet. It's particularly aggravating because right before it emerges, it creates tremors that disrupt Hunters, which lowers their chances of getting out of the way.

They burrow and slowly travel underground leaving upset soil on the surface, at the very least diverting the attention of enemy terraformers to repair the "zero layer." They also can dive under the active barrier and transform into tanks once inside. Few units can attack underground. Let an explosive one-shot bulky-drill-like ultimate unit of Empire faction activate near the base cluster and there's no chance for any structure to be left standing. It becomes invincible, then burrows, then proceeds to leave a moderately long line of erupting mini-volcanoes, dealing both direct and terrain damage.

Dig Attack / int_cf0603d0	comment	In Heavy Weapon, this is used by the Mechworm boss. Fail to avoid the Wormsign in time and he will pop up under the player, and touching him is an instant-death regardless of shields. Even if you do dodge it, you also have to contend with the rain of destructible rocks that fly out.

Then she bursts out right below Darkseid, grabs him and body slams him back into the ground in quick succession. Last Daughter of Krypton: During their battle with the Worldkillers, Kara suddenly feels the ground beneath her feet shaking. One second later, Deimax bursts out of the ground, hoisting a subway car which he hurls at Kara. The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor: Since frontal direct attacks against Blackrock are useless, Kara buries herself underground and emerges right behind the villain.

Dig Attack / int_d1548747	comment	In the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series, the Brotherhood of Nod makes extensive use of subterranean units. Their burrowing APCs and Devil's Tongue flamethrower tanks formed the backbone of many of their subversive strategies during the Second Tiberium War, with GDI deploying special sensor units and loads of concrete floor plates to defend against them. After a conspicuous hiatus in the Third Tiberium War, subterranean units returned with a vengeance in the Fourth, to the point that even their massive Crawlers arrive violently from underground, destroying everything in their arrival zone instantly.

Dig Attack / int_d301a809	comment	Monster Hunter (2004): Diablos and Monoblos, despite being Flying Wyverns, make very little use of their wings to fly. Instead, they utilize the fingers in front to dig through sand incredibly quickly, and burst right under you leading to many a cart. However, when a sonic bomb or other source of loud noise is deployed near the monster while it's underground, it typically surfaces early and unprepared, allowing the Hunter to take advantage of its weakness.
