## Summary

The **Xenomorph XX121** also known as, simply, the **Alien** is a predatory extraterrestrial race of arthropod-like endoparasitoids descended from biological weapons created by the "Engineers." Highly aggressive and asocial, they are lead by a single Queen that lays eggs while the rest of the hive protects the Queen and gathers new hosts.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier:** Template:Low 5-B: | At least Template:Low 5-B:, **higher** depending on the host | Template:Low 5-B:, **higher** depending on the host | Template:Low 5-B:, **higher** depending on the host

**Name:** Xenomorph XX121, Aliens, Internecivus raptus, Linguafoeda acheronsis

**Origin:** Alien

**Gender:** Hemaphroditic, the Queen is referred to as female

**Age:** Varies

**Classification:** Alien, endoparasitoid

**Powers and Abilities:**

* Facehugger
* Xenomorph
* Resistances
**Dream Manipulation** (Facehuggers can cause nightmares, kane also suffered these nightmares as well), **Bodily Weaponry** (Type I and II), **Paralysis Inducement** (The facehugger can paralyze their victim whenever they get in physical contact with them), **Stealth Mastery**, **Small Size** (Type 0. 4ft 11 in length and 1ft 5 ⅓ in width), **Acid Manipulation** (Like Other Xenomorphs, have acid blood. A small spill of its acid was going to eat through the hull of a ship), **Self-Sustenance** (Type 1. Capable of thriving in space, like its brethren)

* Chestburster
* Adult Xenomorphs
**Reactive Evolution** and **Power Mimicry** (aliens are capable evolving rapidly to incorporate things like diseases into their genetic makeup. Chestbursters incorporate traits from the host into their genetic makeup, and is thus capable of gaining the powers, abilities, and strength of the host through this), **Acid Manipulation**, **Bodily Weaponry** (Type I and II), **Accelerated Development** (Shortly after emerging it will molt into a full adult xenomorph, which usually takes less than a day), **Stealth Mastery**, **Small Size** (Type 0. No more than a foot tall and about two feet in length)

Should have all abilites they had as a chestburster, plus. **Superhuman Physical Characteristics**, **Self-Sustenance** (Type 1. Capable of thriving in space, as shown here, here, and here), **Bodily Weaponry** (Type I and II), **Acid Manipulation** (Xenomorphs have acid stronger than there previous forms and any on Earth. Their acid can break molecular bonds with ease. A Xenomorphs Acid can last long enough to eat through a bridge support cable and should be superior to a facehuggers blood of which can eat through the hull of a ship), **Large Size** (Varies; from type: 0 to 1. Tower over humans, Large Castes like Praetorians and Crushers tower over regular xenomorphs. Xenomorph Queens can reach up to 6 meters in height, if not larger), **Surface Scaling** (Can crawl on ceilings, smooth walls, etc), **Stealth Mastery** (Dont show up on infared, can sneak up on trained marines and pilots), **Adhesive Manipulation** (Xenomorphs can secrete a resin that hardens into a shell of solid material. Castes like the worker xenomorphs specialize in this, and can produce and spin resin with there long tongues), **Regeneration** (Mid-Low, Ripley 8 was able to quickly regenerate an incision scar, possibly higher; Ridley Scott said in the audio commentary of *Alien: Covenant* that the Praetomorph was able to regenerate from being crushed and dismembered), Possible **Telepathy** (Queen xenos have been said to communicate telepathically with other xenos), **Biological Manipulation** (Xenomorphs can secrete the black goo, and can use it to make host more suitable for production, the black goo can mutate and change someones genetic makeup,or kill anyone that comes in contact with it), **Statistics Amplification** (As a hive grows larger xenos get smarter. Royal Jelly is extremely addictive to humans and other animals, and when ingested in large quantities causes an adrenal increase in strength, stamina, and aggressive tendencies), **Self-Destruction** (Xenomorph bursters explode once killed), **Enhanced Senses**, **Longevity** (Xenomorphs can last an incredibly long time. Can go into hibernation to survive during long stretches in outer space)

**Resistance** to **Heat Manipulation** and **Ice Manipulation** (Capable of living in the vacuum of space indefinitely. Can withstand the heat of explosions and molten lead), **Biological Manipulation** (Xenomorphs can secrete the black goo, and can use it to make host more suitable for production, the black goo can mutate and change someones genetic makeup,or kill anyone that comes in contact with it), **Acid Manipulation** (Completely immune to its own acid blood and other acids for self-explanatory reasons), **Fire Manipulation** (Although Xenomorphs are usually scared of flames, they are physically unaffected by them. A queen had received no physical harm from being engulfed in fire), **Electricity Manipulation** (unaffected by stun batons and EMP mines), **Radiation Manipulation** (Xenomorphs are unaffected by being irradiated), **Disease Manipulation** (aliens are capable of incorporating things like diseases into their genetic makeup)

**Attack Potency:** **Small Planet level** (Facehuggers will threaten to strangle their victim if removed. A Facehugger fresh out the egg overpowered a chimpanzee incredibly quickly) | At least **Street level** (A Chestburster can break through a man’s ribcage and with one bite it is capable of ripping apart a man's neck), **higher** depending on the host (Xenomorphs can incorporate traits from the host they burst from into their genetic makeup, and is thus capable of gaining the powers, abilities, and strength of the host through this) | **Wall level** (Can fight those who can harm them. Adult Xenomorphs are much stronger than chestbursters, and can rip apart and warp steel doors and people), **higher** depending on the host | **Small Building level** (Can fight those who can harm them. Heavy Caste Xenomorphs are far stronger than the average Xenomorph, with a Queen being capable of fighting a powerloader and creating shockwaves just by stomping. A Xenomorph Queen was capable of killing the Rogue, which did this), **higher** depending on the host

**Speed:** **Subsonic** travel speed (Its POV blurs when running and it can cover the length of a room rather quickly) with **Supersonic** combat speed and reactions (Facehuggers can 'dodge' bullets. Should be comparable to, if not superior, to the Cloned Xenomorph, which can dodge bullets and explosive projectiles while underwater)

**Lifting Strength:** **Superhuman** possibly **Class 1** (Overpowered a panicked Chimpanzee grip, which is claimed to apply 'six hundred kilograms of ripping strength, although this could also be taken as hyperbolic) | **Unknown** | At least **Class K** (Can rip people in half and easily rip out skulls with their spines still attached, which would grant this much energy)

**Striking Strength:** **Unknown** (The average striking strength for a facehugger is unknown, as their only purpose is to subdue their victims via paralysis and grip strength) | At least **Street level** (With one bite it is capable of ripping apart a man's neck. Chestbursters can also eat and crush raw metals), **higher** depending on the host | **Small Planet level** (Comparable to its attack potency. A single strike from its inner mouth can shatter a shatter-resistant window. Can punch a vent off a ceiling), **higher** depending on the host | **Small Building level** (Comparable to its attack potency. A queen broke a ladder just by walking into it. A young queen slaughtered a large group of gunmen), **higher** depending on the host

**Durability:** At least **Small Planet level** (Can take a small burst of gunfire) | At least **Small Planet level** (While vulnerable in this stage, they should be comparable to their striking strength. Can survive being hit in the head by a pulse rifle from an android), **higher** depending on the host | **Wall level** (Can withstand Amanda Ripley's Pipe Bombs, which produce this much energy. Can survive point blank shotgun blasts, revolver bullets and military sidearm bullets richochet off its exoskeleton), **higher** depending on the host | **Small Building level** (Comparable to its striking strength. Unaffected by multi-ton machines falling on it and an explosion from a belt of grenades. Mature Queens are more or less impossible to kill with basic weaponry. Superior to the One-Armed Xenomorph, which survived an explosion this big, and was merely annoyed by one of its attacks), **higher** depending on the host

**Stamina:** At least Superhuman (Xenomorphs have never been shown to tire, even after hunting tirelessly and without food for days at a time)

**Range:** Below Standard Melee Range | Extended Melee Range, Varies from Several Meters to Tens of Meters with acid projectiles (Xenomorphs are capable of shooting acid at a modest distance. although Xenomorph castes like the spitter can shoot acid up to 25 meters), higher depending on the host

**Standard Equipment:** None notable.

**Intelligence:** Animalistic, possibly Below Average generally, Genius for Queens (Can cut out the power to improve efficiency of ambush. The Xenomorph's level of sentience is a matter of some debate. However, it is clear that they are clever and tenacious hunters. with some Xenomorphs being described as semi-sentient and shown to have some form of higher thought. Moreover, the Hadley's Hope and USM Auriga incidents both showed that the species excels at observational learning and problem solving. An alien queen can have an IQ of 175 and can use elevators.)

**Weaknesses:** An extreme temperature change can heat up their acid blood and cause them to explode. They can be stunned by a certain low-intensity ultrasound pulse.

**Note:**

1. ↑ A more in-depth explanation on the canonicity of old-comics, such as Aliens: Rogue, is explained here

**Key:** **Facehugger** | **Chestburster** | **Adult Xenomorph** | **Heavy Caste Xenomorphs**

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* IndolentRichHogget-mobile.gifAcid Spit
1/2* **Head Bite:** Arguably a Xenomorph’s most notable attack, involving the use of their inner jaw to pierce the victim's skull and fatally destroy the brain. The striking force of the Xenomorph's inner jaw is extremely powerful, able to pass completely through both sides of the skull.
* **Acid:** Certain castes of Xenomorph have evolved to use their acid blood in a more offensive manner. Drones, for example, have developed a highly pressurized bloodstream that can cause them to physically explode if sufficiently damaged, showering the surrounding area in acid. Runners have been shown to be able to spit acid and Xenomorphs Bursters will explode once killed.
* **Eggmorphing:** When absent of a hive, a Xenomorph Drone will begin taking hosts and cocooning them in a secreted resin that exposes them to enzymes and growth hormones that gradually shapes their body into that of an Ovomorph. The Drone will then inject genetic material from the barb of its tail into the host, allowing it to incubate a Facehugger and continue the life cycle.
