Starfinder: Xenomorph King

November 4, 2017 Chris Van Deelen

Every Queen needs her King, although these two fight like a couple about to get a nasty divorce.

The mutant has a great deal of difficulty using any sort of weapon – any sort of item for that matter. If the mutant ever attempts to a gadget or item with its appendages, it must make a Dexterity check (roll under his Dexterity on a D20) or automatically drop it. Also activating or otherwise using the item if it somehow managed to keep hold of it always requires 1d6 plus the power score modifier in rounds. Furthermore using any weapon likewise suffers the same penalty, however, the mutant will suffer a penalty of three plus the power score modifier on any to hit roll. Oddly enough, the mutant has no issues using natural weapons, so these penalties do not apply in this case.

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 9d4+9 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 16) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 9d4+9 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

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

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 (1d10+13 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +24 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +27.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Rapid Implantation (Ex) If the creature successfully grabs a target, it can attempt to strike with the inner jaw attack. The difference is if it so choses, the creature can shove the inner jaw down the throat of the victim, causing only half damage. As long as the creature maintains the grab, it can then begin to implant embryos, at the rate of 1 per round, up to a maximum of six embryos after six rounds. Each round the beast will inflict half the damage from the inner jaw attack, and it can sense if the victim is going to succumb to the injuries, at which point it will release the victim, having fulfilled its biological imperative. Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the 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

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.

One or more aspect of the mutant has changed, marking it clearly as a mutant. While many mutants in the wastelands can sometimes pass as human, these particular mutants cannot. When determining the type of alteration possessed by the mutant, roll on the above tables to determine what makes them different

Bizarre Appearance Type Table

*Roll*	*Altered Feature*
1-4	Coloration
5-6	Features
7-8	Limbs
9-10	Vestigial Body Parts

Bizarre Appearance (coloration) (drawback)

First, the player should determine the characters starting hair, eye and skin color. This can easily be chosen based on the player’s choice. For example, a player might choose to have his character start with lightly tanned skin, blue eyes and blond hair. The same can be chosen if the player is creating a mutated animal. After the player has chosen these traits, he must then choose two of these to be affected by the bizarre pigmentation mutation. He chooses from hair, skin or eye color. Once the player has chosen which two are to be modified, consult the following steps:

Step 1: Number of different shades of coloration

After having determined the type of coloration, it is now time to determine how many different shades of coloration the mutant possesses. The vast majority of mutants will have one to three different shades, while more rare individuals will end up having as many as 10 or more different shades.

Number of shades table

*Roll*	*Number of Shades*
01-40	1
41-70	2
71-90	3
91-95	1d3+4
96-99	1d4+6
100	1d6+8

Step 2: Type of coloration

Roll Percentile dice to determine what kind of coloration the mutant has. Basic colors are yellow, red, blue, green etc. If Crystalline or Metallic are rolled, the hair, eyes or skin appear to be made of either type, but when touched feel like regular flesh or hair.

Usually, the mutant will have the same overall type of coloration over his body. Take a mutant that has both the bizarre skin and hair coloration – most mutants will have both as a basic color or both will be metallic and so forth. On rare occasions, the mutant will have more than one type of coloration (see below).

If the character rolls mixture, he then chooses two of the three types of color (for example, basic and crystalline color, or maybe metallic and crystalline), and then chooses which feature is which. Again, for example, the character can choose to have metallic eye color and crystalline hair, or basic skin color and metallic hair, etc.

As an alternate rule, if the player has rolled two or more shades of color for the mutant, he can, if the ML agrees, roll once for each type of coloration, re-rolling mixture. This way the mutant could end up having a mixture of basic, crystalline and even metallic color in his pigmentation.

Type of coloration table

*Roll*	*Type of Coloration*
01-50	Basic Color
51-75	Crystalline Color
76-95	Metallic Color
96-100	Mixture

Step 3: Coloration Patterns

In the case of mutants having more than one shade of coloration, the player should then determine the pattern as it appears on his body or hair. This will be the general pattern for the coloration, so even if the mutant has more than 3 different shades of color, they will be of the same type of pattern. For example, a mutant with three different shades of basic color (red, green and yellow) rolls on the chart below. He gets striped as the color pattern, so the stripes along his body will vary between red, green and yellow.

In the case where the mutant has dotted, splotchy, and spotted, the player should choose one of the colors to be the primary body color, and the other colors will make up the various spots, dots and splotches.

Generally there are no patterns for eye color. The ML should allow the player to have an unusual pattern if he so desires.

Color pattern table

*Roll*	*Color Pattern*
01-25	Striped
26-50	Dotted
51-60	Swirled
61-70	Splotchy
71-85	Spotted
86-95	Banded
96-100	Geometric

Explanation of patterns:

Striped: The body, hair or eyes of the mutant have striping very much like that of a zebra or tiger.

Dotted: One color is dominant (chosen by the player), while the other or other colors are a series of variable sized, but perfectly round dots covering the mutants body.

Swirled: All the colors of the mutant’s body are swirled together, making for very strange patterns, in some cases much like what you would see on camouflaged clothing.

Splotchy: The colors of the mutant’s body are not spread evenly. There are some sections of his body that are mainly just one color, while other sections could be made up of two or more irregularly shaped splotches of color.

Spotted: As with dotted, the player chooses one color that is dominant, and the rest appear all over the mutant’s body as irregularly shaped spots, which also vary in size. Think of a Dalmatian.

Banded: The mutant’s colors appear as variably shaped bands all over the body.

Geometric: The colors are spread out in perfect geometric patterns on the mutant’s body. For example, a mutant with two colors could have his left side pure white, while his right side is pure black, or has a checker board pattern, or diamond pattern. Roll on the appropriate table below to determine the type of geometric pattern.

When dealing with multiple colors, nature tends to locate patterns on specific parts of the body. Sometimes it can cover the entire body, while other times the pattern will be found on one part, or several different parts of the body.

Consult the following tables to see how much of the body the pattern covers, and where the pattern is located.

Color percentage table

*Roll*	*Percentage of body covered*
01-50	Entire Body
51-70	75% of the body
71-85	50% of the body
86-95	25% of the body
96-100	10% of the body

If the body is less than 50% covered by the pattern, the player should consult the location of pattern table to see which parts of the body are covered. Typically, say if the body is 50% covered, then that might include the torso (both the front and back, upper and lower), or maybe all four limbs (or more, if the mutant has multiple limbs). Optionally, if the player has 75% coverage, he can always roll on the appropriate table to see which part of the body is not covered by the pattern.

In the case of 25% or 10% coverage, the hands or feet, or maybe the head, neck or shoulders or any combination thereof can be rolled or chosen for the location of the pattern.

Color location table

*Roll*	*Location of Pattern*
01-13	Head
14-25	Neck
26-39	Shoulders
40-52	Arms / Legs
53-65	Front / Back Torso (upper)
66-77	Front / Back Torso (Lower)
78-90	Groin (front or back)
91-100	Hands or Feet

Consult this chart for each different geometric pattern.

Geometric pattern table

*Roll*	*Geometric Pattern*
01-14	Half and Half
15-28	Square
29-42	Triangle
43-56	Rectangle
57-70	Hexagon
71-84	Diamond
85-100	Octagon

Half and half is not necessarily the correct term. The mutant could have three or more different colors, and they will be spread out evenly across his entire body, such as the black and white example above, or it could be black and white and yellow, in the case of three colors or any combination of.

Step 4: Color types

Now that you have determined the type of coloration, the number of colors, the patterns and finally the shade intensity, it is time to find out what kind type of colors your mutant possesses. Each type of coloration will have its own table for determining the colors that could be found. Of course, the ML or player can choose the coloration, or add various shades to the list.

Base color table

*Roll*	*Base Color*
01-09	Pure Black
10-18	Pure White
19-27	Grey
28-36	Red
37-45	Yellow
46-54	Purple
55-63	Orange
64-72	Green
73-81	Blue
82-90	Pink
91-100	Brown

Crystalline color table

*Roll*	*Crystalline Color*
01-09	Diamond
10-18	Onyx
19-27	Hematite
28-36	Ruby
37-45	Sapphire
46-54	Amethyst
55-63	Topaz
64-72	Emerald
73-81	Lapis Lazuli
82-90	Garnet
91-100	Agate

Metallic color table

*Roll*	*Metallic Color*
01-10	Platinum
11-20	Titanium
21-30	Iron
31-40	Rust
41-50	Gold
51-60	Copper
61-70	Tin
71-80	Silver
81-90	Bronze
91-100	Zinc

Step 5: Coloration shade intensity

Now, for each shade of color the mutant possesses, determine the shade intensity.

Shade intensity table

*Roll*	*Shade Intensity*
01-33	Dim
34-67	Regular
68-100	Bright

By using intensity, it is possible for the mutant to have the same coloration, but of different shades. For example, a mutant has two different base color pigmentations, and he rolls red as the color twice. By using the shade intensity, he ends up rolling one as dim, the second as bright.

Bizarre Appearance (features) (drawback)

Genetic mutation has caused one or more changes in the features or appearance of the mutant. It is very possible for a mutant with multiple feature alterations to get rolls on the same chart. For example, a mutant with three changes could roll two off the hair chart and one off the skin chart. The combinations are endless. None of the altered features give any real bonus or penalties to actions or defenses, although the ML can choose to change that if he so desires. They will affect reaction rolls for those who dislike or hate mutants.

First, consult the following chart to see how many altered features the mutant possesses:

Number of features tables

*Roll*	*Number of Features*
1-2	1
3-5	1d2
S 6-8	1d2+1
9	1d3+2
10	1d4+3

Now, determine the type of feature that needs to be altered:

Altered feature table

*Roll*	*Feature*
1	Hair
2	Skin
3	Eyes
4	Ears
5	Nose
6	ML’s Choice
7-8	Player’s Choice

Now consult the following charts based upon the type of feature that has been altered.

Type of feature table

*Roll*	*Modification*	*Effect*
1	Scales	The mutant does not have hair on its head or body. Instead it has a fine layer of scales, which provide no benefit.
2	Feathers	Instead of hair, the mutant head and body is coated in feathers. These provide no benefit.
3	Spines	The mutant’s body, where there would normally be hair, instead has thick spines. These provide no bonus.
4	Patchy	The mutant has hair on its body and head, but it is thin and patchy, giving the mutant a sickly appearance.
5	Bald	The mutant is completely bald, having no hair on its head or body what so ever.
6	Bony Growth	The mutant has thick bone like growth covering its body where hair would normally be. This growth provides no benefit.
7	Crest	The mutant has a reptilian like crest or sail that grows from the front of its head down to the top of its spine.
8	New Substance	The hair is made up of an unusual type of substance, such as metal, plastic, cloth, paper, and so forth. This is typically best combined with Xeno structure element change.
8-9	ML’s Choice	The ML chooses the type.
10	Player’s Choice	The Player chooses the type.

Skin modification table

*Roll*	*Modification*	*Effect*
1	Scales	The mutant’s flesh is covered in tiny interlocking scales. These are not thick enough to provide any sort of benefit.
2	Knobby	The mutant’s skin is thick and knobby, giving it a very rough appearance and the flesh feels hard to the touch. Despite the appearance the knobby flesh does not provide any sort of benefit.
3	Pebbled	Like knobby, the flesh of the mutant is covered in small ‘pebbles’. These pebbles of hard flesh provide no benefit.
4	Wrinkled	The flesh of the mutant is heavily wrinkled, making the mutant look very old, even if it is not.
5	Barbed	The mutant’s flesh is covered in tiny barbed hooks, which look like tiny hairs. These hooks cause no damage but can be distracting.
6	Hirsute	The mutant’s body, every square inch, is covered in hair, unless the mutant already has fur, in which case re-roll). The mutant is often mistaken for an animal as a result, but there is no other benefit or drawback.
7	ML’s Choice	The ML chooses the type.
8	Player’s Choice	The Player chooses the type.

Eye modification table

*Roll*	*Modification*	*Effect*
1	Slanted	The mutant’s eyes heavily are slanted, giving it a cat like appearance.
2	Tiny	The mutant’s eyes are very small, and it appears as if the eyes are either closed or the mutant is squinting. Despite this, the mutant is able to see perfectly normal
3	Huge	The eyes of the mutant are significantly larger than normal for its species, giving it a constant surprised or stunned look. Despite this, the mutant suffers no drawbacks and can see just fine.
4	Misplaced	The mutant’s eyes are not in the correct location. They could be on the side of the head, beneath the chin, on the top of the head, and so forth.
5-6	Unusual Iris	The mutant’s irises are distinctly abnormal. They could have slit like irises, goat like, animal or chameleon like, or even strange geometric shapes, or no visible irises at all.
7	ML’s Choice	The ML chooses the type.
8	Player’s Choice	The Player chooses the type.

Ear modification table

*Roll*	*Modification*	*Effect*
1-2	Misplaced	Like the eyes, the ears are no longer in their usual location.
3	Non existent	The mutant simply has two tiny holes where the ears would normally be.
4	Pointed	The ears are pointed, like an elf’s.
5	Misshapen	The mutant’s ears are unsightly lumps of hard flesh.
6	Wing like	The ears of the creature appear to be wing like – bat like, bird like, even insect like. They will have the appropriate type of coating as well (feathers, exoskeleton, etc.)
7	Huge	The mutant’s ears are comically huge, making it the butt of many a joke.
8	Tiny	The ears are incredibly small, as to being almost non-existent.
9	ML’s Choice	The ML chooses the type.
10	Player’s Choice	The Player chooses the type.

Nose modification table

*Roll*	*Modification*	*Effect*
1	Misplaced	Like the eyes or ears, the nose of the mutant in question is misplaced, no longer in the correct location.
2	Slit or hole	The mutant has a pair of small, slit or hole-like openings instead of a nose, giving it a reptilian appearance.
3	Bulbous	The nose is large and misshapen, rather unsightly.
4	Huge	The nose is normal for the species, but is far larger than normal.
5	Tiny	The nose is normal for the species, but is far smaller than normal, almost to the point of nonexistant.
6	Animal like	The mutant has a nose that is not normal for its species. It could be a cold, wet and black, a dog-like nose, or a pig like snout, or any other type of animal like nose.
7	ML’s Choice	The ML chooses the type.
8	Player’s Choice	The Player chooses the type.

Bizarre Appearance (limbs) (drawback)

The mutant’s limbs are either not located in what is considered normal for its particular species, or are longer or shorter than normal.

First consult the following chart to see what manner of limb is affected by this mutation:

Bizarre appearance (limb) table

*Roll*	*Limb*
1	Arm or manipulative limb
2	Leg or locomotive limb
3	Hand (or paw)
4	Foot (or paw)
5	Tail (if no tail, re-roll)
6	Wing (if no wing, re-roll)
7	Other Limb (tentacle, etc. if none, then re-roll)
8	Two types (roll twice, re-rolling the same result)
9	Players choice
10	ML choice

Secondly, consult the following chart to see what the mutation has done to the limb:

Limb Mutation Effect table

*Roll*	*Effect*
1-2	Longer
3-4	Shorter
5-6	Misplaced location

In the case of a limb being longer or shorter, consult the following chart for the differences:

Length Alteration table

*Roll*	*Increase / Decrease*
1-5	25%
6-9	50%
10	75%

If misplaced location for limbs was rolled, consult the following chart to see the number of limbs that are affected by this mutation. In the case of creatures with multiple limbs (such as the mutation or other creatures like centipedes), the following chart is for the number of limbs that are misplaced.

Number of Limbs table

*Roll*	*Number of Limbs*
1-5	1 or half
6	Both or all

The next chart determines the location of the limb on the body of the mutant, and any effects it has:

Location of Limb table

*Roll*	*Location*	*Effect*
1	Head	If one arm is located on the head, no two-handed weapons can be used. If one leg is attached the head, movement is reduced to 25%. If both legs are attached to the head, then movement is normal (albeit, strange).
2	Upper front of torso	The arm or legs grow out of the chest. If only one arm or is located here then no two-handed weapons can be used. If one leg is attached the movement is reduced to 25%. If two legs are attached, the movement rate is cut in half.
3	Upper back of torso	If one arm is attached here, the mutant can only use one-handed weapons. If both arms are attached here, the mutant can still fight but at a –2 due to difficulty seeing (unless it has mutations that allow it to see behind it). For legs, see above.
4	Same side	(Only for arms or manipulative limbs). The mutant’s arm or arms are located on the same side of the torso. It can not use two-handed weapons.
5	Lower front of torso	If one arm is attached here, the mutant can only use one-handed weapons. If both arms are attached here, the mutant can still fight but at a –2 due to difficulty seeing (unless it has mutations that allow it to see behind it). For legs, see above.
6	Lower back of torso	If one arm is attached here, the mutant can only use one-handed weapons. If both arms are attached here, the mutant can still fight but at a –2 due to difficulty seeing (unless it has mutations that allow it to see behind it). For legs, see above.
7	Players choice	The player chooses the location.
8	ML choice	The ML chooses the location.

In the case of longer or shorter limbs, consult the following chart for the effects:

Limb type modification table

*Limb Type*	*Shorter Effect*	*Longer Effect*
Leg	If one leg is affected, movement is cut to 25%. If both legs are affected, normal movement is 50%	If one leg is affected, movement is cut to 25%, if both legs are affected, movement is increased by 25%
Arm	If one arm is affected, then the mutant can not use two-handed weapons, and the affected limb is at –2 to hit. If both are affected, then the mutant only suffers a –2 to hit.	If one arm is affected, then the mutant can not use two-handed weapons. If both are affected, then no penalties apply.
Wing	If one wing is affected, the mutant can not actually fly.	If one wing is affected, the mutant can not actually fly.
Tail	Any bonuses are halved, and any combat bonuses and damage is reduced by 50%	As with shorter, but instead of reduced, the bonuses are increase.
Other Limb	See tail	See tail
Hand (paw)	Incapable of using hand with normal size weapons. Negatives to certain skills (up to –20% to repairing technology rolls) and other skills if used by ML, -25% damage from natural weapons on that limb.	Difficulty in using smaller items, weapons might have to be custom sized, but add an additional 25% damage with any natural weapons, and up to a –20% in repairing technology rolls.
Foot (paw)	-25% to movement speed, -25% damage from natural weapons on that limb.	-25% to movement speed, +25% damage from natural weapons.

Mutants so afflicted will find it impossible to use artifact armour and any clothing or non-technological armour will cost 50% more PER LIMB or aberrant modification.

Bizarre Appearance Vestigial Body Parts (drawback)

The mutant has a large number of under-developed limbs on its body, or digits on its hands and feet or other such appendages

Consult the chart below:

Vestigial Body Parts Table

*Roll*	*Type*	*Effect*
1-3	Arms	The mutant has 1d6 plus the power score modifier additional under-developed arms. These grow out from its torso and make it all but impossible for the mutant to wear artifact armor. The limbs are completely useless and cannot be used. All clothing and armor must be tailor made and cost an additional 100%. AI recognition +4
4-5	Digits	The mutant has 1d10 additional digits growing from each appendage. They do not work and often get in the way. As a result the mutant suffers a one plus the power score modifier with any hand-held weapon. The mutant also suffers a –10% plus -5% per power score modifier to technology rolls. Finally any footwear must be custom made, costing an additional 100%. AI recognition +2
6-7	Legs	The mutant has 1d4 plus the power score modifier additional under-developed legs. These grow out from its hips and legs and as with the arms, make it all but impossible for the mutant to wear artifact armor. All clothing and armor must be tailor made and cost an additional 100%. AI recognition +4
8	Wings	The mutant has developed vestigial wings. These wings are completely useless to the mutant as they cannot lift it off the ground, increase its jumping distance, help it in a fall or even allow it to glide. Any armor and clothing must be specially tailored and costs an additional 50%. Also, the mutant is incapable of wearing any form of artifact armor. If the mutant does not possess wings, then simply re-roll, ignoring this result.
9	Xeno-morphism Part	This effectively renders useless any xenomorphism part the mutant might possess. The ML can decide if this is the case or not. If the mutant does not possess a new body part, roll for the xenomorphism part to see what it has and cannot use. AI recognition same as xenomorphism part.

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 10 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.

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

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.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Pack Tactics (Ex) When two or more of the creatures are together, they will hunt in packs the way canines such as wolves hunt. They will use tactics in an attempt to corner prey, and they will always attack at the same time to ensure they can get flanking. For every two creatures in the pack hunting a single target, they will gain a +1 to hit.

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

Trip (Ex) The creature can attempt to trip its opponent as a Free Action without provoking an attack of opportunity if it hits with the specified attack. If the attempt fails, the Creature is not tripped in return.

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 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 5 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 8) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 1d4 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 Face hugger has only one purpose in its existence – to find a host to implant the embryo. This creature will attempt to remain hidden and then jump onto a potential victim. It can strike at ranges of up to ten feet distance. 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 15 to try and free itself. If this fails, the face hugger then wraps itself around the head of the target, 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 die. The victim has been implanted (see below)

Implant (Ex) Once a victim has been successfully implanted, the 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

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Rend (Ex) The strength of the king is so powerful that if it manages to latch onto a target with both claws (through the grab ability), the target must immediately make a Fort Save (DC 20) or be ripped in two, killing it instantly. Even if the saving throw succeeds, the target still suffers 10d6+26 damage from the attack.
