Xenomorph

An Apex hunter, near perfect by design, a highly aggressive endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species. The Xenomorphs are vicious predatory creatures with no higher goals than the propagation of their species and the destruction of any life that could pose a threat to them. Like wasps or bees, Xenomorphs are eusocial, with a fertile Queen breeding a host of subordinate castes. The creatures are known for their potent acidic blood and their pharyngeal jaws, although their biological life cycle, in which their offspring are implanted inside living hosts before erupting violently from their chests, is in many ways their signature aspect.

Flaws of the Xenomorph

Despite being an Apex hunter, the Xenomorphs primal and animalistic nature prevent it from being able to preform certain tasks and force it to react to different situations in specific and predictable ways.

Carrying Impairment

You are only able to carry one object/item at a time regardless of weight, however that item cannot exceed your carrying capacity. The Xenomorph is as well prohibited from wielding weapons or donning armour.

Fear of Flame

Whenever the Xenomorph takes Fire damage it must make a DC 18 wisdom saving throw or become frightened. At the start of each of the Xenomorphs turns while frightened by this effect it may repeat the saving throw to end this effect. Every time the saving throw is failed, the DC reduces itself by 2 (the DC resets back to 18 if the Xenomorph takes fire damage while under this effect). This effect automatically ends if the Xenomorph can no longer see the source of damage.
