Mass Effect 
Edit
During the mission to stop batarians from crashing an asteroid into the human colony of Terra Nova, the batarians bring these beasts along to help take over the asteroid and secure their positions. This turned from a simple slave grab into a mission of revenge.
Tactics Edit
Because the War Beasts are exactly like varren, they should approach and be approached as their kindred. They will charge and attempt to bite their opponents. Biotics are extremely effective against them, especially when facing several at once. Shotguns are particularly effective at close-range. Batarian War Beasts have no shielding but do have a respectable amount of health.

Batarian War Beasts are encountered on Aratoht during Arrival in Mass Effect 2.
Batarian War Beasts are encountered during the beginning stage of Arrival.
Tactics Edit
These enemies are identical to ordinary varren within Mass Effect 2 and should be handled as such. Do not allow them to get close enough to hit you with their melee attack. You will often encounter them in close quarters on this mission, so special care to eliminate them quickly must be taken. On higher difficulties they will have light armor, for which Warp, Incinerate, or Incendiary Ammo can be helpful. Without their armor, they become susceptible to attacks such as Throw or Cryo Blast which can remove their capacity to threaten you.
