Plant Mutation: Alternate Water Feeding

November 11, 2017 Chris Van Deelen

This mutation allows the plant to gain potable water from nearly any liquid source!

A particular type of Xenomorph variant which has been infused with the genetic material of Chiroptera. The originator of this particular variant must have been a massive bat in order to be used as a host.

The end result is a much larger than normal Xenomorph, and one which has the ability to fly. As if the species was bad enough as is. The creature is approximately ten feet in length, and has the standard bio-mechanical exoskeleton. The major difference is instead of the typical tubes and spikes on the back, it possesses a set of massive wings. These are more similar to that of the mythical dragon than an actual bat, and often show damage from close encounters with obstacles or unfriendly combatants. The creature’s skull is also somewhat shorter than the average Xenomorph, and has a large Mohawk-like crest.

When resting in the hive, the creatures use their feet claws to hang upside-down, in the same manner as the bat from which they obtained part of their genetic code.

The creature – according to reports – is also capable of producing eggs, like a queen, although at a much slower rate. While resting, they will spend up to 24 hours and for a single egg, which they will attach to the ceiling instead of on the ground, as is the case with a normal queen. They typically do this only once every 48-72 hours, as they spend the rest of the time hunting for food or for potential hosts.

Flying is not an easy chore for these creatures, as the base genetic code never really took the possibility into account. They are rather clumsy fliers, taking far longer to maneuver and turn. The only aspect which makes up for this is the increase in their base movement.

It has been discovered this particular species is generally targeted by other hives for destruction, as the queen sees this creature as a potential rival and will send her own drones and other variants, particularly the Praetorian guards to deal with it.

One of this particular Xeno’s favorite tactic is to grab a victim they do not wish to use for implantation and haul the target up into the sky, where if it proves to be particularly difficult to deal with, they will simply let it go and watch as it plummets to the ground. If the impact does not kill the target, they will often rinse and repeat as necessary.

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 5d4+5 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 13) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 5d4+5 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Drop (Ex) After successfully grabbing a target, the creature will use its next round (or next several rounds), flying straight up in the air, at its maximum movement rate. Once it has gained an altitude of at least 100 feet, it will simply drop the target it is carrying and allow gravity to do the work for it. Note the creature can only grab targets one size (or more) categories smaller than itself.

Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target). If it succeeds, the creature will then drag the victim back to the hive to be used as a host. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+8 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +17 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +20.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.

Special Abilities

Acid-coated pellet (Ex) This particular version of the Xenomorph is able to shoot a single pellet of hive material. The pellet has a range of 75 feet, and inflicts 2d8+5 P Acid damage. This additional damage can be negated with a successful Fort save (DC 13). If the attack is a critical, then no saving throw for the acid is allowed. The creature can use this attack only once every second round.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 20 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 13) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 5d4+5 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. For each claw that successfully hits, the KAC to pin drops by 2, so if all four claws hit, then the creature only needs a KAC +5 to pin, instead of +13. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.

Improved Armor (Ex) The armor is significantly thicker and stronger than those of other Xenomorphs, and as such they gain a +4 to both EAC and KAC.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+11 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +17 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +20.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 2d4+2 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 20 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 11) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 2d4+2 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Camouflage (Ex) The creature possesses an exoskeleton, which allows it to become effectively invisible when viewed. This gives it a +10 bonus to Stealth, and is considered to be invisible when targeting in combat. It can turn this ability on and off as a standard action and can use it as many times a day as it needs.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d4+4 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +13 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +16.

Poison bite (Ex) The Xenomorphs bite injects paralytic poison into the victim. The victim must make a Fort save (DC 11) or become paralyzed for 1d4 hours. The creature can use this poison with every bite.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Webbing (Ex) Once a victim has been paralyzed, the creature can produce a thick resin-like web, which is the same material used in the construction of the hives. The creature can fully cocoon a medium sized creature in 4+1d6 rounds. Smaller creatures will take significantly less time, while larger creatures will take more (a large creature would require 4+3d6, huge 4+6d6 and so forth). In order to escape these webs requires an acrobatics (escape) with a DC of 18. If the victim has help, they can escape in only a minute or less. It requires 1d10 rounds to successfully extract oneself from the webbing – if the escape roll succeeds.

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 10d4+10 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to affect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 17) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 10d4+10 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Face Grab (Ex) The Queen Facehugger can implant a single embryo into a host, and unlike other Facehuggers, this particular creature will not simply curl up and die after implantation has occurred. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. The target is then allowed an Acrobatics (escape artists) DC 17 to try and free itself. If this fails, the Queen Facehugger then uses two of its legs and holds it tightly, forcing a tube down the target’s throat and rendering it unconscious. The implantation will then take 1d20 rounds to complete. Sometimes the face hugger will remain attached to the victim and keep it in this state for up to 4d6 hours. Once the face hugger has completed the implantation, it will eventually release the victim and search for a new victim. The victim has been implanted (see below)

Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted; the embryo will continue to grow. It can continue to implant victims as long as it remains alive. The creature is also fully capable of implanting an embryo, which will grow into a queen. Furthermore, it has been discovered the creature can also choose to implant a Crusher, Lurker, Praetorian, Spitter or Warrior. It will take as little as an hour or as long as several days before the embryo has grown enough to survive outside the host. At this time the embryo will then tear through the chest of the victim, killing it in the process. Typically the victim will have 4d12 hours before the creature bursts through its chest. If the victim is given medical treatment (actual surgery), the victim has a chance to survive. A surgeon (life science, medicine) will need a successful roll (DC 26) to remove the embryo. If the roll fails, the victim dies in the process.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 3d4+3 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 20 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 12) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 3d4+3 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+8 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +14 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +17.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Spew (Ex) This Xenomorph is able to spew acid in a 30 ft. cone. All targets in the area of effect must make a Ref save (DC 12) or be struck by the acid. The acid will do 3d4+3 points of damage per round for 1d6 rounds. Those who make the save take no damage at all. The beast can use this three times per day.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Tail (Ex) Thanks to the longer tail, this creature is able to climb at its full movement rate, and gains a racial bonus of +5 to Athletics.

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 1d4+1 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 20 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 10) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 1d4+1 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Explosive (Ex) The creature is fragile, and its acidic blood seems to be under heavy pressure. Whenever the creature suffers 10 or more points of damage, it will detonate. The radius is the same as the acid splash and causes the same damage, but the exoskeleton fragments also inflict hideous damage, causing 3d4+1 points of damage. A Ref save (DC 10) will result in half damage. Strangely enough, other ‘boilers’ are immune to the acid and the explosive exoskeleton effects.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+5 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +11 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +14.

*Roll*	*Type*
1-3	Limbs
4-6	Organs

Animal Organs Table

*Roll*	*Organ*	*Effect*
1	Adrenal Gland	The fight or flight hormones are very efficient in the mutant. As a result it gains two plus the power score modifier to its initiative roll and all physical attacks are increased by 50%. For example, the mutant normally would get a single attack per round. With this mutation it will get an additional attack every other round. On round one it gets one attack. On round two it gets two attacks, and then on round three it goes back to one attack, etc. The mutant also gains two plus the power score modifier to all saving throws where speed and Dexterity are concerned.
2	Bone Marrow	The mutant gains three plus the power score modifier to its natural healing rate and gains two plus the power score modifier to its saving throws against poisons, toxins and disease, as the body is constantly producing new blood cells and flushing old cells from the body.
3	Circulatory System	The mutant takes only half damage from any slashing, cutting, piercing or similar attacks because when the walls of veins are punctured, they seal up almost instantly. Any attacks that cause additional damage per round from bleeding or the like are nullified.
4	Heart	The mutant gains one plus the power score modifier hit point per point of Constitution and its natural healing rate per day is multiplied by the same factor. For example, the mutant has a modifier of +3 then the daily healing rate is multiplied by four. If the optional rules for fatigue are used, then the mutant’s Constitution score is considered to be four times greater than normal.
5	Liver	The mutant gains two plus the power score modifier to saving throws against poisons and toxins. Whenever they come into contact with destructive poisons, it is treated as if it was two plus the power score modifier classes weaker, but the poison cannot drop below class one. For example, a mutant with a power score of 12 would treat a class five poison as if it was only class three. The mutant is immune to any poison that causes sleep or paralysis.
6	Lung	The mutant’s lungs are far more efficient than its ancestors. They are able to hold their breath considerably longer. If the optional rules for drowning and suffocation are used then the mutant’s Constitution score is considered to be two plus the power score modifier times greater for determining length of time the mutant can hold its breath. The mutant also gains two plus the power score modifier bonus to saving throws where breath control is concerned.
7	Nervous System	The mutant gains two plus the power score modifier to its Dexterity score, two plus the power score modifier to initiative and cannot be surprised. Also, it is effectively immune to any attacks that would cause sleep or paralysis (including poisons and mental attacks)
8	Spleen	The mutant is effectively immune to all disease, and gains two plus the power score modifier to its natural healing rate per day. For example, the normal healing rate is 1d3, a mutant with a power score of 15 (+2 modifier) the mutant’s healing rate will now be 4-7 (1d3 +4) per day. The mutant also gains additional hit points equal to the mutant’s Constitution score.
9	Stomach	The mutant’s stomach and intestinal tract is so efficient at processing food that it needs only 25% of its normal intake to survive. If the mutant has the dietary requirement drawback, this means that the amount of food it needs to consume is also affected. For example, if the mutant has to consume carrion, 10 hit points or ¼ pound per day to survive, it only requires three hit points or 1/16^th of a pound to survive. Also if the mutant has the diet change boost, all effects are doubled! The mutant also gains two plus the power score modifier to its saving throw in regards to any ingested toxins (poisons, toxins, disease etc.)
10	Multiple	Roll 1d2+1 and that is the number of times the mutant rolls on this chart, re-rolling this result.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 17) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 10d4+1. points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Devastating Charge (Ex) As a full round action, the Crusher can charge at any target within 60 ft. of its position. The charge follows the standard rules for charging an opponent, and there cannot be any obstructions in the way or the charge fails. Any target struck by the charge will suffer 2d12+15 points of damage and must make a Ref save (DC 17) or be not only knocked prone by the attack, but knocked back 1d6x5 feet from its current position.

Flaking Vulnerability For the most part the creature is nearly invulnerable to most types of physical damage, but those who are able to get directly behind it will find a literal chink in the armor. The EAC and KAC is 4 points less when attacked from the rear.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (2d8+15 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +27 with this particular attack, and if the target is prone, then the bonus is +30.

Special Abilities

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Grab (Ex) The Neomorph grabs only to inflict injury. The creature uses this ability to increase its chances to hit with the inner jaw attack it possesses. The Neomorph must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target). If it succeeds, the creature will then use its Inner jaw attack on the victim (see below). The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d4+4 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +10 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +13.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Spoor Reproduction (Ex) The creature is able to reproduce through its excrement. The feces of the Neomorph contain spoors, which will grow into clusters of fungal like pods. Each of these clusters, when disturbed, will release a cloud of spoors. Each cluster covers a 5 foot radius, and anyone entering it must make a REF save (DC 10) or set off the spoor cloud. This cloud will cover a 10 ft. radius and anyone in this radius must then make a Fort save (DC 10) or becomes infected with the spoor. Over the next hour, the victim must make another Fort save or lose 1d4 points of Constitution. Once three successful save have been made in a row, or the victim received medical treatment (medicine DC 10), the spoors will be purged. If they are not purged, once the victim’s Constitution score reaches zero, the victim will die horribly as a young Neomorph will tear free from the torso of the victim.

Stalker (Ex) Like the Xenomorph, the Neomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls.

Special Abilities

Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.

Face Grab (Ex) Like the Facehugger, the Trilobite has only one purpose in its existence – to find a host to implant the Deacon embryo. Unlike the Facehugger, this creature does not seem to care if it is hidden or not. If the creature has successfully grabbed a target with its Tentacle Grab (below), the it will attempt to implant the victim with a Deacon embryo. The target is then allowed an Acrobatics (escape artists) DC 15 to try and free itself. If this fails, the Trilobite then wraps the tentacles around the body of the target, rendering it unconscious. It literally engulfs the head of the victim in its mouth in order to enact the actual implantation. This will take 1d20 rounds to complete. Unlike the Facehugger, it will not remain attached to the victim after implantation has been completed.

Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the Deacon embryo will continue to grow. It will take as little as an hour or as long as several days before the embryo has grown enough to survive outside the host. At this time the embryo will then tear through the chest of the victim, killing it in the process. Typically the victim will have 4d12 hours before the creature bursts through its chest. If the victim is given medical treatment (actual surgery), the victim has a chance to survive. A surgeon (life science, medicine) will need a successful roll (DC 16) to remove the embryo. If the roll fails, the victim dies in the process.

Stalker (Ex) The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10

Tentacle Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. The creature will gain a +1 to this attack for every successful strike it gains with a tentacle attack. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target).

Grab (Ex) More often than not, the Deacon will attempt to grab a target in order to implant it with a Trilobite embryo. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +13, it instead pins the target).

Implantation (Ex) If the Deacon successfully grabs a target, the creature can attempt to implant it with a Trilobite. The target is then allowed an Acrobatics (escape artists) DC 15 to try and free itself. If this fails, the Deacon will ‘kiss’ the target and shove a long, thin tongue-like appendage down the throat. The victim is still awake and aware during this process and can attempt to escape. The implantation will then take 1d4 rounds to complete. Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the Deacon will let the victim go and leave in search of more prey. The implanted embryo will continue to grow. It will take as little as an hour or as long as several days before the embryo has grown enough to survive outside the host. At this time the embryo will then tear through the chest of the victim, killing it in the process. Typically the victim will have 4d12 hours before the creature bursts through its chest. If the victim is given medical treatment (actual surgery), the victim has a chance to survive. A surgeon (life science, medicine) will need a successful roll (DC 16) to remove the embryo. If the roll fails, the victim dies in the process. If not removed the Trilobite will eventually burst forth, killing the host and continue the hunt for another host.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+5 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +11 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +14.

If the save fails, the victim will suffer 5d4+5 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Xenomorph Hate (Ex) Even though this creature is the result of combining human and Xeno DNA, it has a distinct hatred of any Xenomorph it encounters. When it sees another Xeno, it will go into a killing frenzy after only 1d4 rounds. During this, the Newborn gains a +4 to hit and the damage inflicted against Xenomorphs is automatically doubled.

Hybrid Affinity (Ex) The creature has a natural affinity towards hybrids, and will never attack or actively attempt to harm any hybrid it encounters. It will listen to simple commands issued by the hybrid, and will fight to defend the hybrid if it encounters any sort of hostiles.

Alternate Abilities

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the hybrid is hit by any type of attack which inflicts actual hit point damage, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 10+CR rating) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 1d6+CR rating points of damage per round, for 1d3 rounds.

Acid Spit (Ex) As a standard action, the hybrid is capable of spitting a gob of acid at any target within 50 feet of its position This is a ranged attack. When it strikes the target, anyone within 5 feet of the target must make a Ref save (DC 10 + 1 per CR rating) or be hit by the splash. The acid will burn for 1d6+CR rating points of damage for 1d3 rounds. The Hybrid can use this ability one plus the Constitution modifier times per day - so if the Hybrid has a Constitution modifier of +4, they can use it 5 times per day.

Back Spikes (Ex) The hybrid possesses a series of four strange hollow back-spikes, as is the case with the majority of the Xenomorphs. These act as oxygen storage for the hybrid, giving it a total of 2 hours, where it does not need to breathe. They also act as filters, giving the hybrid a +2 bonus to any saving throw involving gases or inhaled toxins.
