Description
The Xenomorph Facehugger is a grotesque parasite designed to ensure the survival of its species. Birthed from a leathery egg-like pod about a metre tall, it ambushes unsuspecting prey, latching onto its hosts face and implants a fertilized xenomorph embryo via a tube-like protrusion down the victims throat into their abdomen, thereby ensuring a new host for the Xenomorph lifecycle. With its eight spider-like legs, the Facehugger can scuttle across surfaces, evading capture and closing in on its intended victim with terrifying speed and stealth. It takes several hours for implantation, after that they will drop away from the victim and die, the victim will then awake, unaware that they are impregnated, until a chestburster erupts from them several hours later. Facehuggers have concentrated acid for blood, so if damaged, acid sprays from the wound. They are not common knowledge, most people have no idea they exist

Embryo Implantation
The Facehugger targets a creature it has successfully grappled, forcing them to make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the victim becomes host to a Xenomorph embryo which grows into a Chestburster inside of the host. the process takes several hours. once inplnatations is complete to facehugger dies. The Chestburster will burst from the hosts body in 24 hours time, killing the host, unless the vicitim is put into some kind of stasis. A Facehugger can also target animals.
Facehugging
As an action, the Facehugger can choose to grapple a creature within 5 feet of it. While grappling, the target must make a DC 12 Strength saving throw to escape. The Facehugger can maintain this grapple until the target escapes or it chooses to release.
Surprise Leap
If the Facehugger is unseen, it can make a surprise leap attack on a target, gaining advantage on its attack roll. If it hits, it automatically grapples the target.
