Biography

Xenomorph Drone
▰ ▰ ▰

◤═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════◥

"With enough force, you might kill one full-grown. Perhaps even several. But in the end, they are, by their very nature, unstoppable. They're too strong. Too vicious. They reproduce and grow too quickly. They're the most versatile living thing in existence. The perfect organism. The ultimate survivor. No matter what you do... All of you are going to die."

The Drone, also commonly referred to as the Warrior, Soldier, Worker, or Lurker, and designated a "Stage 4" Xenomorph, is the most common adult form of the species Xenomorph XX121. Between 7–8 feet in height and 14–16 feet long (including their tail), Drones are by far the most widespread caste of Xenomorph, acting as the species' principal offensive unit in combat situations. Among the roles carried out by Drones are the construction of Hives, the elimination of threats and the capture of potential hosts for reproduction.

Most Drones that have been encountered have been spawned from human hosts, and as such generally share their host's bipedal stature — although they are known to move equally well on all fours, particularly when climbing walls or ceilings or moving through enclosed spaces, tasks at which they are adept. They are extremely agile, capable of navigating through vents, up walls or across large areas swiftly and nimbly. They also have an astonishing leaping ability. After growing to its full adult height, the Drone typically dwarfs its host, standing at least 7 feet tall when born from a human. They are dark in color, typically black but often with shades of grey, blue or brown across their bodies. They are primarily encountered in offensive situations, being voracious predators possessing notable observational intellect and incredible strength, easily capable of restraining or subduing a physically adept human, lifting a person into the air with little effort, or even breaking down metal pressure doors when in groups. As well as their offensive role, Drones are said to fulfil a worker role within the Hive, building and tending to the nest.

The Drone's most distinguishing features are its cylindrical, elongated skull, often more pronounced than on other Xenomorph types. They also possess long, prehensile tails that can be used as a formidable weapon in and of themselves, be it as a blunt flail capable of hurling an average human through the air or as a stabbing weapon. The Drone's ability to spit acid some distance additionally gives it an ability to attack at range.

While the terms Drone or Warrior are typically used to refer to adult Xenomorphs born from a human host, technically speaking they can refer equally to any basic adult form of the species, including Runners or even Predaliens; these too can be considered "Drones" as they fulfill a similar role in the species' hierarchy, they are merely born from a different host and thus possess different traits as a result of the DNA reflex.

Physical variation between individuals has been noted with many castes of Xenomorph (most notably Queens), but the trait is perhaps most obvious with the Drone. Aside from the obvious variation between smooth and ridged with regards to the Drone's head carapace, other physical variations have been observed. Examples have been seen with a varying number of digits on their hands. Their segmented tails have been seen to end in both a stinger-like barb and a blade-like tip that can be used to propel the creature swiftly through water. Some Drones have also been seen to possess blade-like protrusions at the elbows. The exact cause of this variation — or whether it serves any specific purpose — is unclear.

It also seems that intelligence and mental capabilities can vary from one individual Drone to another. In some cases, certain individuals have seemingly possessed greater intelligence than their brethren and have even been seen to act as a "leader" amongst a group of Drones.

Drones have an ability to evolve into other higher forms of Xenomorph, such as Praetorians and, eventually, Queens. The conditions that may initiate these changes are not well understood, with situational, environmental and hierarchical factors being quoted in different sources. The exact mechanism by which these changes occur are uncertain.
