Sci-Fi Horror

Alien Xenomorph - Seeds of Destruction

jingo

In the deep dark void of endless space, no one can hear you scream--except perhaps the Xenomorphs.

Author's Note: This game world is loosely based on the retro-future setting of the popular Alien movies that helped bring the sci-fi horror genre to the forefront of popular culture. It has some details inspried from Free League's Alien Core RPG. I added the class names from Free League's Alien Core RPG. However, the class descriptions are intentionally not word-for-word copies from their books. Because I respect their intellectual property, the descriptions I added for those classes are written by me, loosely based on what I remember from reading from their Core RPG book. I highly recommend that you purchase their excellent game system from them. All art work in this game world is AI generated.

Description

This jaundiced snake-like alien is a result of the implanted Facehugger embryo that has grown to fruition. During the parasitic embryo stage, the target often feels sick to their stomach. Upon reaching maturity, the Chestburster rips its way out of the host's body in a visceral spray of blood and gore to later evolve into it's future form. It has small stubby appendages but can slithers quite quickly in this stage. This stat block reflects its state when it erupts from its host.

Actions

Escape

With a hiss and a snarl, it dashes for the nearest duct or vent or sewer where it can evolve in peace into its next form. PCs can try to stop it from excaping by doing a contest of Dex with it. If the Chestburster wins it can escape. If it fails, it cannot escape this turn.

Leg Slash

This attack targets the legs of its target causing 2d8 damage to the legs. The target must make a CON save DC 12 or have its artery slashed. The target will bleed out in three rounds and must roll a Death Save vs DC 12 every round thereafter unless they receive medical aid (DC 14 to treat).

Terrorizing Hiss

With a flash of its metallic teeth, and a leap towards a target, this frightening hiss causes the target to resist vs Fear with a DC 14.

Throat Bite

It leaps goes for the throat, causing immediate 2d8 damage. It can only do this if the throat is in range (the target is sitting or laying on the ground or is crouched or crawling). The target must make a CON save DC 14 or have its jugular torn apart. The target will bleed out in three rounds and must roll a Death Save vs DC 14 every round thereafter unless they receive medical aid (DC 14 to treat).
