Introduction

The Harvester is the Kharaa resource tower, built by the Alien Commander. It must be constructed atop of Resource Nozzles and Infestation to gather Team Resource and Personal Resource. The amount of existing Harvesters is shown to both Kharaa players and the Alien Commander, as shown in-game:

The Harvester retains the bulbous-ness of the original design, while incorporating the new visual style of the Kharaa species. The bony growths, glowing sac and finger like tentacles are recurring themes in the alien designs. While the Harvester is meant to feel like a living part of the alien ecosystem, efforts were made to make sure that the structure didn't look too much like a playable character.
