Xenomorph

Xenomorphs were a reptillian, parasitic species. In order to breed, a larval Xenomorph, hatched from an egg, would attack a mammal, such as a Human, and implant an embryo in the host's digestive track. Over the span of several standard hours, the embryo would begin to grow and the original larva would died. When gestation was complete, the baby Xenomorph would burst out of its host, killing it in the process. As some said, "She'll breed. You'll die." Within a matter of days, the embro developed into a full-grown Xenomorph.

Xenomorph society existed as a hive, controlled by one queen. On average, the queen was twice as tough as the drone Xenomorphs that served her. She could use her tail to spear victims and naturally camoflaged herself with wall-coating secretions.

Behind the scenes

 * The Xenomorph concept began in the film Alien. It was later adapted for possible incorporation with the Star Wars D6 system.
 * A Xenomorph appears in the first chapter of I.M.P.S.: The Relentless, a Star Wars fanfilm. That particular Xenomorph was unconscious in the custody of Yautjas in the Davenport Gateway system.
