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 1d6 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for
1d6+6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very
poor idea. With the spitter it is far worse – when the creature dies, it will burst, washing an area equal to
20 ft. in acid. A Ref save (DC 10) will save anyone caught in the area of effect from the splash. The acid
causes 1d6 damage per round for 1d6 rounds.
Acid Spit (Ex) As a standard action, the creature is capable of spitting a gob of acid at any target within
150 feet of its position. When it strikes the target, anyone within 5 feet of the target must make a Ref
save (DC 10) or be hit by the splash. The acid will burn for 1d6 points of damage for 1d6 rounds.
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 10) to avoid taking
damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 1d6 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.
Cling (Ex) The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.
Grab (Ex) 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). Instead of dragging the victim back to the hive, the creature will
instead attempt to kill the target on the spot.
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.
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.

Very similar to the standard drone, it is speculated these creatures are of intelligent design, specifically
created in order to combat those who happen to possess effective long-range weaponry.
They are similar to all other types of Xenomorphs, except for the skull. It is somewhat fleshier than other
types and there are four yellowish sacks spaced evenly on the side of the skull. The other major
difference is the tail is shaped differently, and is more dangerous than those of the typical drone. It has
been noted the creatures can use this tail to hang upside-down, allowing them unrestricted field of
vision when spitting acid at targets.
The strange yellow sacks on the sides of the creatures head contains the acid they are able to ‘shoot’ at
targets. Although it does not cause anywhere near as much damage as the Spitter’s natural attacks, it
can make the difference when dealing with potential hosts armed with ranged weaponry.
Like Lurkers, these are quite rare - maybe one in twenty chest-bursters will grow to become one of the
creatures. Also, like Lurkers, these creatures do not bother to attempt to take other beings alive to be
used as hosts. They are only interested in killing.
Another aspect which sets these creatures aside from their genetic brethren is that they are often used
to ‘crack’ ships and heavy armor, using their acid attack to eat through hulls in order to create openings
large enough for drones and other types of Xenomorphs to gain access.
