Warrior

Description

True ferocity and determination is often output the most by the warrior caste of the xenomorph. While every xenomorph excels in natural defensive and offensive capabilities, the warrior is the professional. Starting with the basics, the claws of a warrior are much larger and built for tearing and smashing. The tail blade, longer and sharper. The inner jaw, more powerful. Even the defensive acidic blood is more deadly, as it is usually higher in pressure, spraying further than average drones. In recent tests, it has been recorded that a mature warrior can hold its own against a trio of badland wolves with minimal damage sustained.

Even when wounded, the warrior persists in its goal. Some warriors have been seen in colonial marine footage, after a underslung grenade explosion tearing them in half, dragging the remains of their upper torso at their prey, usually surviving on average 4 minutes and 53 seconds. The longest recorded, 5 hours and 21 seconds. Amazingly, if enough vital organs are in tact, a warrior can regenerate at an alarming rate, provided it has the resources and energy to do so.

A hive produces warriors as early as phase II.

Wow. If it's dragging it's upper torso around, can you imagine the depression it leaves in its wake? Its blood is melting through everything below it. If it slows down or stops, I can imagine it sinking down or falling through whatever's below.

Anyway, here's what I wrote for my story:

Standard Warrior Xenomorph: The most common type of alien. Nevertheless, they are not to be taken lightly. These are the ridged-headed solders of the Hive. They are sent to harvest hosts as well as eliminate any threat to their kind. They attack with claws, the tip of their tail and deliver death bites with their inner mouths.
