Chapter one
a new colony
author note: Happy new year people!
I apologized for the last few months (And years) of my absence. Had a lot of…. things going on, and a small problem with my PC. Just to make another point, I will rewrite the story of xenomorph madness, as you have read on the summary. Again I apologized for this inconvenience. The reason I did a rewrite, is because whenever I re-read my story, the OC looks like a damn OP guy and somewhat similar to a Gary-stu character and a little too predictable and easy, not to mention some character went OOC without any real reason. So I will do some character balancing and do more background and storyline. I suggest you guys re-read all over again. Sincerely, thank you
Disclaimer: I don't own Familiar of zero or Aliens vs predator. They belong to their respective company, except my OC.
It's been several years since the battle for dominance on planet LV742. Those who hunt (the Predators) have already left this planet a year ago, while the marines only left a small scout party monitoring any living activity of this forsaken planet.
Much has change since that time, with the death of the professors of , notably doctor Kadinsky. Any further science and biological development on the planet has been completely shutdown and all research are deemed ir-recoverable and effectively abandoned.
Now, all that remains of this planet are a small number of wildlife and natural resources. The war has devastated much of this land, not to mention the numbers of victim during the great war.
However, the one who suffered the most are the Xenomorph AKA Aliens as the humans called it. Being a colony type species, the Xenomorph relies on a large numbers of hosts on the planet which in return threaten the existence of both the Human marines, and the Hunters.
This lead to a mass eradication of this particular species on LV742, anywhere you can see them being riddled with bullets, burned, cut to pieces, almost any way possible to think of both superior species with their technological weaponry.
What are the Xeno's opinion about these two? Well, to put it in a simple way it went like this: "Human squishy, but metal sticks are dangerous", "Hunters dangerous, alone but stronger than a single praetorian". So does the comment of the majority of girls in this Hive.
Anyways, with this entire wasteland in ruins they have to hide themselves underground. Before you ask dear readers, why would the hell you hide in an abandoned planet? Well because the humans decided to take a drastic measure to eradicate this species for good. And I as the narrator and the all knowing author mean it as clear as crystal.
Remember the Humans scout party I mentioned? Their current base are the large spacecraft above the planet's orbit, and every single time these Xeno's black-greenish (or any other color in dark) scale show's up on the surface, they sent an orbital strike in only a matter of seconds.
Yep, life's rough when you are a Xenomorph, especially with a history of taking host for impregnation.
Since they suffered unequally routine genocide for days, how many of them survived? Well, the last orbital strike was three days ago which effectively killed another colony permanently. In the end, there's only one colony left, though they are nowhere large enough to be called one.
Deep on the underground tunnels of the planet's undisclosed (more like unknown) jungle area there is a single person who is watching over five green eggs, two are larger and more darker than the rest. The odd thing is, the person in question is a human wearing a black jeans, black and forest-green hooded jacket with a blue plain shirt underneath.
Sitting on top of a rock ledge, he stood by and watch patiently for any sign of the egg's hatching. Another strange feature noticeable from the kid, are his sapphire green eyes and small black scale that attached to the skin of his hands. Various unconcious body of animals laying about on the front of the eggs formation.
These particular animal are few of native inhabitants of the planet, two are cow-like creature called Oswocs, three others are insect-type creature called Kriltics.
He remained silent with his eyes closed. As he wait for the eggs to hatch, suddenly his eyes shot open as the eggs did hatch in a floral manner. Crawling from the eggs are spider-like creature, three had a white pale skin, the other two is more dark-brownish in color.
The first white spider went straight for the oswoc, planting itself on its face. The other two went for the Kriltics, the last two went for each the oswoc and the last kriltics. This little creatures are called Facehuggers (courtesy by humans nicknaming) which sole purpose is to impregnate its host with the seed it carries within its genes.
In a few minutes, the Facehuggers loosen its grip and die, fulfilling it's purpose. "Good, half day for eating the host, another half for the cocoon stage", he said.
"Soon, very soon.", another comment escaped his mouth as he left the small chamber.
-Abandoned "Weyland-Yutani" research building -
The boy from before, now walk the carnage-stained hall. Where the corpse of Marines, Predators, and the Xenomorph lay lifelessly here and there, "Can't believe that I was once a part of the Human species", he sighed nonchalantly.
After continuously stroll from one room to another, he found what he was looking for. A small metal door with the name Masato Takemori. "Masato…. it's been a while since I called myself that", he touched the blinking handscanner next to the door and in an instant the door said in a mechanical voice "UNLOCK".
The boy walked right through it. Inside is where you'll find the typical boy room which consist of a bed, a table desk, a door to the cupboard and all other things which he considered now as 'miscellanous'. Wasting no time, he walked into the other door and open it.
Inside, is a standard scientist clothes of the Weyland-Yutani Co, five set of normal clothes, and a picture of his younger self with another girl notably younger than him. Ignoring anything else, he grabbed the picture and put it in his pocket.
Finished with his personal matters, he left the building without ever looking back.
-Back to the original undisclosed location-
After his return, the chest of the animals that was impregnated are hollow and bursted open, with their body lay lifelessly without any vital signature. Near the corpses are several black-thick mass that kept growing from time to time. "The Cocoon stage. Then it won't be long until we repopulated the entire planet at this pace".
"Yet the main problem still remains. How to stay unnoticed until then?", as the young adult contemplate on this matter, he went to a nearby rock and meditate as he wait for the cocoon to hatch as well.
-4 hours later-
Nothing come in mind as the young man still meditate his thought on how to avoid instant obliteration by the marines. Suddenly a loud cracking noise with other similar cracking sound can be heard throughout the cave.
He turn his attention to the cocoon's as they started to break apart slowly. Emerging from it were several snake-like monsters larger than most humans. However, each are different with one another, for example: one is medium-sized Xenomorph with black-dark green skin color, small claws and two pair of arms. Also it's skull are elongated and smooth, one pair is smaller than the other. This one is called a Drone.
Two species smaller than the Drones, brown-reddish In color, with its skull's a little jagged and sitting in a bipedal manner that is similar to a dog. This one is called a Runner. The last two are larger than both of the former subspecies, pure black scales covered the entire body as their skull grew wide and large, almost similar to a triceratop's crown. This one is a Praetorian.
While the Drones and Runner are notably taller than most human, the Praetorian easily twice their height and size. This is due to the fact that the Drones and Runner are part of the caste known as the "Trans-breed", while the Praetorian are called "Pure-breed".
"Good, with at least one Praetorian I can repopulate the whole colony within months. Now to make sure we can communicate", he focused the willpower on his minds and form some kind of telepathy connection with all the Xenomorph newborns.
There's a very good reason why he need to form immediate contact with these hatchlings. You see, without a Queen or any other monarch to control them. The Xenomorph will went into a frenzy state where they started killing each other to assume the position of the next Queen. Usually the Praetorian would be the next successor, but there's been a special case where Trans-breed can evolve to pure-breed and become Queen.
But this old custom is inefficient and wasteful for small new colonies like this one. And so, they just need someone to guide them until at least one of them evolve into a Queen type. After that, everything else is left within the control of the Queen.
"This is Razor, can you hear me?. I repeat. This is Razor, can you hear me?", he said telepathically. Looks like his effort bear fruit as the creatures turned their attention to him. "This is Razor. Can you hear me?", he repeated again.
All of them just simply nod it's head as a sign of understanding. "Good, now as you all already know from my past memories the Queen is dead. And I know that the "Tradition" must be upheld every time a Queen passed away. But it is counter-productive and will only waste our time. So I asked now, which one of you would volunteer to be a Queen?", he asked.
One Praetorian step forward, indicating that she's ready and would take the role and responsibility. "Good, now is the perfect time to-", suddenly a blast of explosion are heard somewhere near the blocked part of the tunnel system.
"God damn it! it's the Marines! Everyone quickly hide!", on cue the Xenomorph scramble to hiding Razor is no exception.
Marching into the secret hideout, are three marines trooper, one synthetic bio-drone and one Comm-Tech otherwise known as Communication Technician and the commanding officer of the group. "This is the source of the unnatural reading", said the Synthetic machine as he pointed his flashlight to the former eggs and host.
"Damn, these Aliens never give up. It's only a few weeks ago that we wipe another small colonies like this", said the Commander. "according to my analysis, the unidentified lifeforms had already hatch and gestate with these hosts. They may already reach maternity", said the Synthetic again.
"Wait, so you're telling me that there are five of those disgusting snakes lurking around somewhere?!", said one of the soldier. "Affirmative", it replied.
"This calls for an orbital strike. We already make sure that there's no other tunnel system away from here. And the only way in is already secured with a platoon of heavily armed corps. We'd best get out of here while we can", the Comm-tech called in for the retreat, but as the marines turned their back. Razor jumped straight to the Comm-tech with a slight disturbing figure.
His Clothes are mostly intact, but his entire arms have transformed into that of a Praetorian. Same could be said to his feet, black scale's adorned his entire arm and feet, a long tail with it's tip made of serrated blade and his eyes changed into a slit of a predator.
His first target are the CO, since he can call in for the reinforcement anytime during the fight. He lashed out with his tail first, impaling the comm-tech straight through his chest. Next he swing his blade 360 degrees cutting two marine trooper's neck, effectively killing them.
With quick reflex, the remaining soldier and synthetic aimed their weapons at the boy. But before they can pull the trigger two large object fell on them. As it turn out, it was two Praetorian from before. They stood still, watching every move and breath their prey made.
"Finish them", said the boy coldly. And as on cue, the Praetorian tear both the machination and marine to shreds. "no doubt they already waiting outside this tunnel. Damn it, I really don't need the attention right now", the boy scratched his head in annoyance.
Suddenly, out of nowhere came a portal in green color, hovering across the room. "…. What in the world?", he muttered. The oval green portal glow radiantly, giving a clear view to the whole dim-lighted room. The more it glow, the more it called out to the entire Hive.
My Familiar that existed somewhere in this world. A girl voice rung inside the heads of the entire Hive. Divine, Beautiful, Wise and powerful servant, there it is again, but it's noticeably much stronger. Heed my call, answer to my guidance, reach out to my voice, "-zzzztzz- hey Jack! How long are you planning to stay in there?", said the voice that came out from the communication device.
"I call upon you! Obey and appear before me!", the voice is more clearer, and it's coming from beyond the portal. "There's no other choice, everyone through the portal!", the entire squadron of Xenomorph ran straight to the portal, unknown to the world that awaits them on the other side.
-Halkegenia, Tristain academy of magic-
Louise De La Valerrie, third child of the the Vallerie household. Student of Tristain academy of magic is currently in a deep trouble. Ever since her childhood, little Louise are unable to cast the most simplest of spells.
She can't do magic, so what's the big deal? As for that information, in this world called Halkegenia nobility are no longer defined by birth alone. All nobles of Halkegenia are proficient at using the ancient art of magic.
Originated way far back since the era of Brimir the founder 6000 years ago. Magic has been a part of human life, especially for the nobility. The "Commoners" as the nobles delicately put it, are considered lower in status and nothing more but mere menial labor worker.
Those who cannot do magic are considered as commoners, that's why Louise is really in a big bind even when she has a record of excellent capability in theory. This is her last chance to prove herself as a noble and as a magician through the familiar summoning ritual.
She won't fail, she can't fail.
And so, as she stood on the circle of summoning Louise chanted her spell incantation. Which was made personally by her to prevent any mistake or failure. "My Familiar that existed somewhere in this world, Divine, Beautiful, Wise and Powerful servant. Heed my call, answer to my guidance, reach out to my voice", she paused for a moment for the magic to gather at her wand.
"I call upon you! Obey and appear before me!", after finished with her incantation, a small green portal appeared. Before it exploded with a storm of smoke.
-back with Razor-
As soon as Razor and his band of Xeno-girls pass the portal, an explosion of smoke occurred where they stand. Razor being a veteran of battles against both the Marines and the Hunters suspected that this was a trap.
"Ambush! Everyone scatter and avoid detection! I'lltake care of the rest!", obeying the order of their elder, the entire Xenomorph squad scatter to the nearest forest to hide. Though it is risky, it's better than facing an entire squadron of Marines fully equipped without any cover.
Left standing alone, Razor shifted his body back to it's original human form. For now, he would put up a cover profile that he was merely a miner that was left abandoned and the last to survive. That should suffice for a while.
But then, he noticed the strange environment that he was standing on. Green grass, and natural earth rock. But how could it be? Isn't this planet LV-742? As far that he remembered, the grass in said planet are yellow or brown, never lush green.
Something is not right, reverting to his second sense (the sense that all Xenomorph share, which is similar to that of a reptile) he didn't felt any familiar environment of LV-742, and strangely he didn't detected any sign of advanced technology or synthetic life-form.
"Where am I?", he thought. And as if his question are heard, a gust of wind blew away the smoke around him. There he witnessed the most bizarre view he had only seen in fantasy comic books or medieval age paintings.
There, stood across him are a bunch of human teenagers. All wearing strange clothes similar to that Hogwarts standard magician uniform. "What, is this some kind of a costume party?", he thought. The whole populace just stared at him in bewilderment before it turned into full-blown laughter while they speak in a foreign language.
Ignoring the burst of laughter, he scan his surrounding and some people did caught his attention. First are the bald adult male carrying a sense of an experienced soldier while watching him warily. Second, are the blue haired girl that held her wand at him. despite her appearance of that of a little girl, she's also had a this feeling of a trained soldier as well, not to mention the large reptile with wings standing behind her.
The last, is the little pink-haired girl in front of him. She stared, and stared until she broke out in an outburst, saying incoherent words towards the bald man. He said something in return, causing her to sigh in despair before she walk back to Razor while stomping the ground beneath her.
And now, she chanted something that make the ground around both of them glitter in a strange glow of white. "Pentagon of the five element, blessed this humble being and bind him as my familiar!", and out of nowhere she gave him a kiss. Sealing the contract.
And no sooner after that, he felt a tremendous pain and heat coming from his right forehand. It as if it was torched by a flamethrower, a strange mark were embedded to him. Runes and symbols unfamiliar to any kind of language he knew.
The same thing also happens to the rest of the Hive. He saw that while one Praetorian also given a strange complex symbol, the others share the same and simple one instead. What could it means he wonder?
"You should be grateful to receive such gift from a noble you commoner", the little girl with the pink hair said. However Razor only stared her in confusion, strange really. A few minutes ago he felt like that she is none other than a potential host….. now he sees her as something more important.
"Excuse me dear sir, but would you mind if I take a look at your rune?", the bald man asked which surprise the young teen. However, due to his quick reflex he showed the man his freshly imprinted "rune" without a noticeable pause.
"Hmmm, interesting. I've never see any rune like this before", he said as he took a sketch of the symbol. After finished with his duties he turn his attention to his class.
"Alright everyone, class is dismissed. Congratulations on your success in the annual familiar summoning ritual. There will be no further class for the rest of the day and tomorrow", the bald man said.
And with that, the rest of the teenagers went flying just like that. "…...What the fuck?", was the thing stuck on Razor's mind. Then he stared toward the pink girl, as if he was expecting she were going to fly as well.
"What? I'm having a little problem with my magic control, so don't look at me like that!", she said in a obvious lie. "… Your name?", Razor speak for the first time since he came to this world. "What? My name? I suppose I could grant your simple request. My name is Louise De La Vallerie, third daughter of the Vallerie household. Remember it well since you are my familiar from now on", she said in a haughty tone. Which unnerved Razor greatly.
"…. Razor", he said simply. "What? Razor? Is that your name?", she replied which he nodded in affirmation. "That's a weird name. No matter, from now on you are mine and you will have to do everything I asked of you. understand?", she said.
Razor just quietly nodded once giving her the confirmation. "Good, now I will explain on what a familiar must do for his or her master", she started walking to the academy with a prideful smile while her new familiar slowly followed from behind.
-15 minutes later-
Louise could never been so bigheaded. Even though she had summoned a commoner as her familiar, at least he is very assertive and obedient. Unlike the majority of people she knew. Most of them wouldn't just shut their mouth.
But it's quite strange, this…. Teenage boy are different than most of the male population she know. He's quiet, Too Quiet. He only spoke once or twice while nodding his head now and then. It's almost as if she was talking to Tabitha.
While she was explaining the duties of the Familiar, such as serving their master faithfully, become their eyes and ears even protecting said master in dire times. He just listen without sparing anything else his attention. Strange indeed.
However , she is happy. At least for once in her life, there are someone other than her sister Catteleya who would listen to her without giving any retort or harsh replies. "Perhaps summoning this commoner is not such a bad thing", she thought.
….. which can be heard clearly by Razor. This confirmed his suspicion regarding the young girl before him. Up to this point he did listen to her, from what came of her mouth and that of her heart and mind this is why he can easily understand her desire inside out.
This little girl, have somehow formed a telepathical connection with the entire Hive. Yet somehow she can't contact or felt any Xenomorph by herself, if by Razor personal theory she hasn't unlocked her hidden gift yet.
Nevertheless, Razor now had another plan for the little girl. Formulating the steps he needed to take to make sure the Hive survive, and for this little girl to be a part of it. For now though, he will play as this "familiar" role, watching and manipulate closely from the shadows.
"Alright, we've arrived", she said as the unlikely duo stood against a reinforced wooden door. Right now, both Louise and Razor had already tread the academy's girl dormitory. They're currently on the fifteenth floor where the young magician Louise slept and rest.
"Each room in this academy are befitting of those of a noble. Make sure to thank me for letting you sleep inside commoner", another haughty comment. Gosh Razor patience is starting to thin.
She reach out for the door knob, while her other small hand held the room's key. In one quick motion she unlocked the door and opened the room. Inside is where you will find the typical Victorian-style noble room. Fancy marble decorated the ceiling and the floor, floral pattern on the wall, and dozen of expensive first-class accessory starting from desk-lamp, bed and vase.
Razor took a small peek on the bathroom near the corner of the bedroom, strangely they have a modern bathtub, shower, even a sitting toilet. Seriously is this what people call medieval fantasy? Because he's sure that there were no such thing as a shower or a sitting toilet back in the middle age.
"The water and tools in this room are operated by magic. Of course, no commoner would have the pleasure to enjoy any of this facility", Louise commented, as if she understand why Razor kept staring on the bizarre futuristic tools on the room.
"Somehow, that makes a little sense", he thought. If technology can get mankind to develop that far, what magic can do in comparison? This world kept sating his sense of curiosity more and more.
"Familiar, stop daydreaming and undress me", she said nonchalantly. Razor was flabbergasted to say at least. This girl just knew him for less than a hour, so why the hell she want him to undress her here? Does she planned to seduce him all along?
"… Why?", he asked. "What? Of course it's your duty to serve whatever my demands", she said.
"… Why not yourself?", "A noble wouldn't change by herself when there was a servant nearby", ah so that what it is. Razor just nodded simply and obliged to her request. Don't worry folks, Razor is a Xenomorph by nature so he wouldn't feel any kind of attraction towards the naked pink haired loli. As a matter of fact, he felt it was quite natural for her to be naked.
And if you question where does that though came from, he is already naked. As well as the entire member of the Hive. This piece of clothing he wore was only a manifestation of his skill called "Morphology transformation", which can easily create any kind of clothes or outer appearance he needed, (except face replication) according to the situation at hand.
Wasting no moment, he stripped the little girl before him. "Now fetch me my nightgown. I need a rest this evening. And don't forget to also wash my uniform, I'll be expecting them clean tomorrow morning. Do you understand?", Razor just silently nodded and pick out a white nightgown and underwear for the little girl.
And not forgetting the fact that he also dress the little girl. And strangely it looks like a scene where a father would dress his little daughter. Quite a surreal scene there. After done with his duties, he grabbed a basket and put the dirty clothes inside.
Before he walked outside the room, Louise call out again, "And don't forget to wake me up in the morning familiar.", "Great Queen Mother of the universe, that girl is a demanding one", Razor commented while the girls that connected to his mind agreed with him.
Speaking about his girls, the Xenomorph group that flee before have already found a large cave system not far from the academy. Already they've founded the perfect location for the Queen's chamber. Such convenience, this bring a large grin to Razor's face.
"Good work girls. Now start the next phase of the plan, one of you evolve into a Queen and start laying eggs here and there", he commanded which the volunteered Praetorian with the different symbol from the others start to formed the royal cocoon.
"Runners, go search for hosts in the surrounding area. Find anything you can get and avoid suspicion. Don't go for lifestocks owned by the humans. Lest we'll behunted for pettythievery", the red-tinted Runners sprint outside the cave into the wilderness.
"The rest will set up the perfect nest for the eggs to grow. Drones I'll leave it to you", and just like that the Drone started to run all over the place, spitting hive nodes which provide an excellent hive webbing environment for future generation.
"I'll be expecting result tonight, be there in a jiffy after I'm done with these chores", done with the small chitchat. Razor went his path through the halls of the girls dormitory, along the way he came across a couple having a date near the local fountain.
Ignoring the couple Razor reach what seems to be a courtyard. There he spotted a young girl wearing a maid outfit with a normal raven hair. For a small fun fact, this is the first human he meet without exotic hair. Because let's be honest he'd already seen too much color today.
"Excuse me", he called out. The maid jump in surprise before she turn around to see a boy carrying a basket full of dirty clothes with him. "would you be so kind to lend me a hand?", he asked in a polite voice that she quickly lower her guard.
"Ah of course, but can you please tell me who you are? I don't recall ever meeting someone like you around the academy", she asked. "I am Razor, supposedly the familiar of a girl named Louise", he replied.
"Oh, so you're the rumored familiar of lady Vallerie? I am Siesta from the village Tarbes, it's nice meeting you Razor", she bow politely. "it's a pleasure meeting you as well Siesta, and please call me Razor", he replied.
"I'm afraid I am not so bold to call you by your first name sir Razor. But if you insist, I will comply", she said. "By the way Siesta, there's something I want to ask of you", he asked again.
"What is it Razor?", "Can you please tell me about this country? I'm just recently arrived here, and I have no basic idea on how this country works", she look a bit of surprised, but nevertheless replied, "Of course I can sir Razor".
For the next fifteen minutes, Siesta the maid explained about the basic of Halkengenia while help him doing the laundry. It is a cruel world in his opinion, almost similar to a medieval age he read on books. Those who are called nobles, are those of a superior standing. While the commoners to put it in a simple way are the drones. Spending pretty much of its lifetime being a labor worker but hey, at least the Drones are happy about their role and not forced into it.
"Then the ones called nobles in a lack of better word are spellcasters?", "exactly sir Razor. That's why I advise you to never go against their will", for the commoners to be this afraid. Razor believed that this nobles may prove to be a threat for the Hive.
And that's why for now, he decided to lay low until his family managed to create an army of their own. And there's that matter regarding his new "master".
"I thank you for your assistance lady Siesta. I'll make sure the clothes arrived at her room this dawn", she nodded in return. "Your welcome sir Razor. And please just call me Siesta", with that both party bid their farewell.
But instead walking back to Louise room, Razor took a sharp turn towards the small door leading to the wilderness. At safe distance, he transformed once again into his Xenomorph persona and took off into the forest.
-1 hour later, wilderness outside the academy-
Razor arrived in a cave that was founded by his Hive. At first it looked like any ordinary cave you can find inside a forest, but as you venture deeper it became more unnatural. For starters there are several green webbing on the walls and ceiling, furthermore circular flat black stone with a green glowing crystal dotted few part of the cave.
This particular black stones are called "Hive nodes", primarily used as a scouting object and accelerate the making of the Hive web. He went deeper and it became more darker as he walk but his vision remain unbiased due to his nature as a Xenomorph.
Then, he reach a large hall. Hive nodes and webbing scattered all over the place. And at the center of it all, on a large stone platform used as a psuedo throne the Queen of the entire Xenomorph sat. with the egg sack attached behind her and her ever loyal servant running all willy-nilly taking care of her eggs.
Now her eggs are numbered in dozen, the family grew to thirty in one day. And it will grow and grow, until they are the most dominant species on this planet.
"For now everything is according to plan. But the real challenge still awaits for our species, and it's started with our little master"
-Cut-
AN:
Hello everyone, I'm back for now. And I still don't know how long this blast of new idea can still keep going. Thank you for your support and patience up until now, and I look forward to enlighten you with new species and plot storyline that my imagination can breed later. And as always if you guys had any ideas about new species and such I will try and implement it on the story.
P.S about impregnating the orc thing, I believe I finally had the ideal subspecies for it. Thanks for the suggestion
P.S.S The chief are in need of Beta-readers. If anybody are interested please PM me.
That's all for now, stay online for the next chapter bye!
Extra part, the great Xenopedia!
This book will provide you with information regarding the Xenomorph species. Each chapter will explain the nature of each Xenomorph that appeared in the story as well as their biological technology.
Xenopedia
Razor: formerly known as Masato Takemori. A 19 years old human which had a body mutated with Xenomorph genes.
-Morphology transformation: One of Razor's abilities. It is the ability to create a black mass that can change Razor's outer appearance. Most useful if he's going incognito and it can also materialize clothes as well (albeit it is appearance only), as mentioned before, this skill cannot change one's face.
Further abilities and information will be added.
Egg: The very start of a Xenomorph life-cycle. Eggs are the basic and the most vulnerable amongst the Xenomorph thus effectively making them a primary target of predators. Normally it will take a few minutes for a Queen to produce eggs and several hours to mature into the perfect time to hatch. Commonly will hatch itself if ordered by the Queen personally or when there is a host nearby.
Praetorian egg: another version of the egg that breeds Praetorian Facehugger.
Facehugger: The second stage of the Xenomorph life-cycle. Carries the genes Xenomorph inside it body and can only live for a short amount of time. The longest known record are three hours, and after they hatched from their eggs they will search for a suitable host to impregnate. A normal facehugger genes will mix with their host creating a new species called Trans-breed.
Praetorian Facehugger: The same with a normal Facehugger, except their genes remain pure during the Gestation period. Breeding with any species will produce the pure-breed known as a Praetorian.
Drone: The "Worker bee" of the Xenomorph hive colony. They serve as the most basic unit of the Hive. Weak and vulnerable compared to the rest of her sisters, the Drones specialize in preserving the environment around the Hive homebase. Can spit out Hive nodes from it's body core to further the making of the Hive webbing.
Gestate with small to medium size mammals. Ex: goat, sheep, etc
Hive nodes: Hive nodes are a biological engineered object, that can increase the speed of the Hive webbing construction. Another use of this object is to detect intruders, as most of them chooses to ignore the half-sentient device (they are literally some kind of a external tumor to drones).
Runner: Agile and fast, the runner are the basic scout and raiding type of Xenomorphs. Usually serve as wildlife host hunters, enemy base scouts, and small raiding party. Their speed can easily outmatch an antelope speed and prove to be dangerous if attacking in a group of ten.
Gestate with Small mammals, preferably canine. Ex: dog, cat, rabbit, etc
Praetorian: The Xenomorph in its most purest form. Originally all Xenomorph are the same as the praetorian. However, due to the need of adapting to their environment a new subspecies for trans-breed are created. Thus making the praetorian as an unique subspecies of their own. A Praetorian can evolve into higher form of the Xenomorph tech-tree albeit only one can be a Queen.
Extra note: A normal Trans-breed xenomorph can evolve into a praetorian if she reached a certain age and had certain experience to be deemed as one.
Queen: Leader of the entire Hive. Queen are part of the Pure-breed caste, towering over her entire species except for few. The Queen had the capability to create egg sack to produce eggs. The egg sack also generate hive webbing on a small margin. The Queen is the most important Xenomorph in the world.
Hive webbing: A common living tissue of bacteria that consume minerals and deceased corpse. Changing it into a foreign substance that can feed the Xenomorph, helped the growth of hive eggs, and even heal a fatal wound of one Xenomorph if he manage to survive a conflict.
