Homebrew XENOMORPH Species Details
One of the deadliest of all known alien species, these creatures require a host organism in order to reproduce. The appearance of the Xenomorph can vary depending on the host in which the embryo is implanted. The Human phenotype is generally around 7–8 feet (~ 2.13 - 2.43 meters) and roughly 136.0 to 181.4 kilograms in weight, with a long, muscular tail and large, curved, oblong head. The Queen of this species is generally twice as large (although some Queens have been shown to grow even larger, some surpassing 30 meters in height if given time) and possesses superior speed, strength and intelligence compared to her common offspring

Mutation lvl 8, 11, 16
The alien undergoes a mutation, changing its body in a new way that makes it different than standard aliens. The alien chooses one of the below abilities, which then cannot be changed. At 16th level, the alien gains an additional mutation of her choice from below.
Extending Tail : The praetorian's prehensile tail is elastic and coiled between the exoskeleton plates, allowing it to stretch outwards to great length when attacking, but it also allows the tail to be used when performing the following maneuvers: grapple, trip, and simple interactions with objects. Its tail attacks are now considered primary attacks with 15 ft. reach.
Pounce :The Alien gains the pounce special ability. When a alien with this special attack makes a charge, it can make a leaping attack from without run up, up to 15 feet away (double if at least 20 feet of run up). If the attack connects deal 1d8 extra bludgeoning dmg and knock target prone.
Aqualung (Ex): The Alien's torso expands slightly, its body growing a third lung capable of processing water into breathable air indefinitely.
Flight (Ex): the alien grows leathery bat-like wings from her shoulders, gaining a fly speed equal to its base speed.
Reaver Blades (Ex): An Alien grows large blades from the wrists that can be used instead of its claw attacks, dealing far more damage than normal and being treated as +1 magic weapons for overcoming DR 2d6 slashing plus 1d6 acid
