*So you chose to be a Hunter[[File:Alien.png]]. You are the warrior of the group. You are stealthy, fast, and vicious. You are not tasked with killing everyone you see, though. You are mostly a courier, pulling freshly-tackled humans to the hive and let the facehuggers make babies. | *So you chose to be a Hunter[[File:Alien.png]]. You are the warrior of the group.

Use your powers wisely. | *Although you are fast as fuck compared to your xeno brothers, you have low plasma storage. You also regenerate plasma very slowly. Use your powers wisely. | ||

*You can devour people, storing them in your stomach, by grabbing them with an aggressive grab and clicking yourself. You can then drop them by using the regurgitate button. This is useful for delivery of unconscious people, but no one ever uses it. | |||
*As a Hunter, you are not just tasked with stealing humans away and taking him to the nest, but also with planting weeds. Since you are the fastest, you can reach various areas quicker than the others. You can set up a small home with the limited plasma you have that others can flock to and make into a full-blown nest. | *As a Hunter, you are not just tasked with stealing humans away and taking him to the nest, but also with planting weeds.

*You can also pose a great threat to machines with your quick slashes. However, you should always attempt to attack a cyborg while in a group to maximize your abilities. You are a "hunter" after all, and the only thing more dangerous than a hunter is a group of hunters. | *You can also pose a great threat to machines with your quick slashes.

*A Sentinel [[File:Aliensentinel.png]] is a warrior, but not meant to stray far from the Hive. You are tasked with defending the weeds, the Drones, the Queen, if you have one, and the eggs. If a human stumbles upon your home sweet home, you must make sure they don't harm anything. | *A Sentinel [[File:Aliensentinel.png]] is a warrior, but not meant to stray far from the Hive.

*Neurotoxic Spit stuns a human temporarily, causing toxic damage and knocking them to the ground.

Basically a long range tackle, this actually does a fair amount of damage to them, so don't overdo it. To use this, click on the Neurotoxic Spit button to activate it; you can then click anywhere to spit in that direction. To turn it off, simply click the button again. | ||
*Corrosive Acid eats through various machinery, including doors, APC's, and lockers. If you don't want to crawl through a vent to get somewhere, want to open up a door for other aliens to drag humans into, or make an opening for a Queen to get through, this is the power to do it. You cannot corrode humans, monkeys, or any human being with acid. Really, though, you should never want to do something that damaging to a possible host. | *Invisibility is free, and makes you transparent; you can toggle it with its action button. You'll still be visible on station tiles, but alien weeds, having your same color, hide you almost completely. Attacking and using abilities won't disrupt your stealth. | ||

*You must make sure the Drones don't get hurt while they plant weeds upon weeds, set up shop, and keep things running. You are the protectors of the working class, not a Hunter with spit and acid. Don't hunt humans down unless you have absolutely no Hunters or larva that can become Hunters. | *You must make sure the Drones don't get hurt while they plant weeds upon weeds, set up shop, and keep things running.

*You are a Drone[[File:Aliendrone.png]], a worker. You are tasked with planting a fuckton of weeds until you eventually can become a big, fat Queen. You are far from any bit of a fighter. As such, never go out alone into uncharted areas that may be dangerous without a Sentinel or Hunter willing to help. | *You are a Drone[[File:Aliendrone.png]], a worker.

*You, like the Sentinels, also have corrosive acid, but no neurotoxin. You can evolve into a Praetorian once you reach 500 Plasma and decide to, and there isn't another living royal. The one power you have, though, that no other xeno has (except the Queen) is shaping resin structures. | *You, like the Sentinels, also have corrosive acid, but no neurotoxin.

*Resin '''walls''' are hardly like normal walls in their own respect. They are mounds of purple slime, shaped into a protective wall. You can make a membrane or a resin wall. The '''membrane''' is a wall that's just thin enough to allow light through. In a way, it is your xeno version of a window. | *Resin '''walls''' are hardly like normal walls in their own respect. They are mounds of purple slime, shaped into a protective wall. You can make a membrane or a resin wall. The '''membrane''' is a wall that's just thin enough to allow light through. In a way, it is your xeno version of a window. Both kinds can be destroyed by attacking them, although they are pretty resistant. They are mostly used to make mazes where the crew is forced into melee. Another functionally important resin structure you can build is the '''nest''', it's a mound of slimey substance that can entrap your victims until they bursts and acts like a cuffbuckle shitcurity combo. Just drag the infected over it and buckle them in. Be sure to support hunters and sentinels by building a nest when you see them dragging a human. | ||

You're faster than the Queen but slower than most other classes of xeno. Many Drones simply choose to become a Queen, since they satisfy the working class' requirements with the addition of egg planting. | ||
*You are also a sub-par defensive line for the Queen. If the Sentinels aren't defending the Queen, and she is being attacked, you should attempt to defend her, but not at the cost of your life. If she does die, you and/or your fellow Drones should determine the next Queen in line and continue the cycle. | *You are also a sub-par defensive line for the Queen.

You are a Praetorian, the last step in evolution before the alien queen. Drones may only evolve into a Praetorian if there are no other royals present. Queens can promote a Praetorian, if one does not exist. | You are a Praetorian, the last step in evolution before the alien queen.

Praetorians | Praetorians have a similar set of skills to alien queens, minus the egg laying: Neurotoxic Spit, Tail Sweep, Corrosive Acid, Shaping Resin. Praetorians cannot ventcrawl, but are also immune to stuns and very hard to kill. | ||
