Description
Where Xenomorphs came from no one is entirely sure. But these deadly creatures are alien and aberrant to the senses of normal people. Xenomorphs are known to come in four castes and are, from least to greatest: Face Hugger, Drone, Warrior, Queen.
A typical specimen of the Warrior caste stands 6 to 8 feet tall but they often hunch over and move on all fours. A Xenomorph is covered with jet black chitin and exudes a slimy drool from its mouth.
A Xenomorph reproduces in stages. First it develops as a large sac-like egg, laid by a Queen. While in the egg the Xenomorph develops into a creature called a "Facehugger". This stage will find a living creature and envelope its face to deposit a small parasitic spoor into to incubate. When the Xenomorph spoor is full developed it spawns in a bloody explosion out of the creature's abdomen or chest. This small larval stage quickly matures into a full grown Xenomorph. Curiously Xenomorphs can take on some of the traits of their incubation hosts and the one here is the most typical, having been incubated in a humanoid.
