Notes:
Units like the Lancers (Arid, Frontier, Elite, Standard), having multiple appearances, would need to be changed to one entry in the Codex, similar to the Eximus Codex entries.
Units like the Eximus entries would need to be changed to faction-specific names. For instance,
Grineer=Leader
Corpus=Eximus
Infested=Alpha/Hybrid
Corrupted=Sentry

Grineer Flameblades now use a Heat Sword instead of the placeholder Prova.

EDIT 1: Obviously some units will appear more frequently than others, and others less so.
-added the Notes section
-added an additional effect to the Punisher, Atterax wraps around the player (Rakshal's suggestion)
EDIT 2: Added rarity of spawning to all enemies
-suggestion for Flameblades-uses Heat Sword

That is an awesome way to add variety in enemies. Though I think it would be cool if the Punisher wrapped the player in the Atterax and dragged the player towards him/her and by doing so also caused a bleed proc.

The gram is a tenno weapon afaik, and some of the units you described would need to be rare, like the drakgoon and brakk lancers.

Edited. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Really cool ideas, I would also like to see some of the same enemies but with different weapons, I mean Flameblades still use the Prova

Good idea. I'll think of something for the Flameblades. I will also try to update this thread with more units, ideas, and suggestions. Again, concept art would be cool.

Flameblades should use the Heat Sword, honestly.
