So huggers would need to stay as is. Otherwise dragging hosts to the hive would suck a shit-ton, no hivelords before the marines arrive = good luck dragging a marine all the way to the hive without a hugger.
There are pre made tunnels.

I have to say strong -1 due to one thing: Monkeys. Nobody wants to spend the first hour of the round slowly dragging monkeys to tunnels and through one by one.

Devouring of DEAD bodies has been removed. Xenos are still able to devour living marines/monkeys.
