Alien Xenomorph - Seeds of Destruction

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

The Xenomorph Facehugger is a grotesque creature designed to ensure the survival of its species. It ambushes unsuspecting prey, latching onto its host and implanting a fertilized embryo through the victims throat into their abdomen, thereby ensuring a new host for the Xenomorph lifecycle. With its eight crab-like fingers, the Facehugger can scuttle across surfaces, evading capture and closing in on its intended victim with terrifying stealth.

Actions

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 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.
