They run a little bit faster than the MCCOYs, and attack them persistently from behind. Notice that this energy-intensive adaptation ceases to be appropriate once the MCCOYs are defeated, and the CRUISERs adapt by slowly reducing their metabolism. This occurs because CRUISERs are competing with each other. The ones with lower metabolisms tend to spawn more. (It takes many thousand time ticks for this effect to become visible.)
