A full-grown Alien from a human host can reach a height of up to eight feet. Adults from other species may be much larger or smaller and Strength and Dexterity will vary according to the host, but should be equivalent to at least a high average for that race. Adult Aliens are most commonly found in Hives, adapted from structures in their local environments. They modify existing walls and formations with secreted resin. It is speculated that they also use the remains of their dead with which to construct such tunnels, but this is unconfirmed. Adult Aliens are strictly carnivorous, possibly cocooning victims not used as hosts alive to be fed upon and over long periods of time. It may also feed on the remains of hosts that are no longer incubating Embryos. As with Chestbursters, the physical orientation of the Adult is determined heavily by the genetic material of its host. If an Alien's host was 4 legged, the resulting Adult be similar. Coloration of these creatures varies to blend with the environment in which they exist. Adults have been seen with black and grey coloration on some starships, dark greens in a hive environment, blue in water environments. |
