An event where an absurd mercenary group is hired by x enemy, and attacks you by dropping several drop pods of extremely pissed off, wild animals either right near your base, or possibly in your base. Could be any animal, even ones not built for the climate (boom-rats right on your lawn in the arctic, polar bears in the desert, rhinos up in the boreal forests) And , in addition to giving a rather wacky, unique event, could double to provide meat / possibly exotic animals if you can capture / train them.
After all, what better way to demoralize an enemy than raining small, strange animals on someones like frogs, or squirrels.
Manhunter + drop pods = death.
A group of manhunter elephants has dropped in right on top of you!
It seems to have driven all of the predators in the area insane.
This. This is hilarious. I want it just for the sheer enjoyment and idiocy that it would bring! Everything is going fine then... DEATH CHICKENS!!!!

It is funny, it just has a glaring reasoning hole...
if an ENEMY can orbital drop animals, why not a cargo pod full of explosives?

Angry animals are a bit like homing missiles, you just shoot somewhere in the general direction and they find their targets.
They would just shoot homing missiles from space at you, but those mercenaries are too avant-garde for that. Please pretend to find their work emotionally challenging.
Part of the reason i make this thread is to tease someone else who heard my theory that shipments of meat that land randomly were actually cougars minced by flak cannon fire.
As for why not dropping bombs, the plagues of Egypt are another inspiration. Wiping out a small chunk of land is different than infesting it with pests. God could of easily leveled Egypt, but instead used frogs.
Also, it sounds lol worthy.
