Information
Affiliation	East Europan Imperial Alliance
Unit Class	Sniper
Weapon Drop	ZM SG 7(g)

Mal the Arachnid is an Imperial sniper ace who is hidden to the north east of the main base during Marina's Challenge: The Wildwood II -- Sniper Trial, the third mission of the Challenges of the Edy Detachment downloadable content for the original Valkyria Chronicles videogame. While he does remain passive, after several turns he will make a run for Squad 7's base camp to attempt to capture it.

Mal is armed with a ZM SG 7(g) which is also your reward for defeating him. Defeating him is an optional requirement, as defending for 8 turns or defeating all enemies is the mission objective.

Notes/Trivia

• Unlike many enemy aces Mal the Arachnid has relatively low evasion but care must still be taken when attacking from the front as he can still dodge incoming shots.
• The position that Mal takes behind the player's primary base can easily be missed; it is easy to assume that the area is clear of troops as he will not move into a position where he can draw a direct line of sight with your units unless first provoked.
