You've read the title. But if you don't understand I'll go with my backstory;

So 4 days ago, I was doing my homework, minding my own business when I've gotten the greatest idea to ever come to mind (besides removing NoahKirchner''s antics from CM. I'm still trying to write find a way to write a decent suggestion that'd reduce that. Loved that lab report btw Noah, keep up the good work in college!); remove the Ravager from CM and replace it with a xenomorph gorilla. It turns out this was too stupid to do since this would still bring back the harambe racist memes we tried so hard to stop

. But here's the image for anyone who wanted to know what such a beautiful caste would look like:

Just add a post reply below about what your xeno idea would look like and what it can do. I'll be looking forward to reading those comments...

EDIT: Atleast describe your ideal xenomorph, by answering the following questions:

1.What would it look like?
2.How would it behave?
3.What is a key ability it has?
4.What role can it carry out in the hive?

Hm would like the idea of a rage sort of thing, so it gets buffed massively for a couple of seconds (breaking limbs in one hit, but not decapping) almost like a gorilla in another game.....

So it functions somewhat like the Hulk? Gains an increase of strength based off of the condition of other hosts, if the ratio of hosts surpasses the number of available xenos, this caste can be able to get a boost in strength and resistance to explosives, but takes damage when this buff is in use? Is this correct?

It's not my ideal xeno, but here's an idea I had in mind:

It's similar in look perhaps, its claws are long and body frail, it moves slowly and is generally small.
It behave as an hive designer. It doesn't have any building abilities, but it digs tunnels and entire sections to increase the hive-size.
Its abilities are as follow:
- Corrosive claws:
Increase melee damage.
Cost large quantity of plasma for each use.
Allows for dislodging rocky turf, slowly.
- Tunneling:
See hivelord for detail.
- Pheromones:
Frenzy
Recovery
Guard

Its weaknesses are:
- Low protection.
- Highly damaged by fire.
- Unable to carry anything.
- Slow movement.
- Low stun chance.

Its strenghts are:
- High brute, slow melee damage.
- Strong support and tactical advantage.
- Proper dodging chances.

It can potentially break appart walls by doing continuous damage to it and dismantle most structures. It's a slow moving hard hitter that's not meant for frontlines, best used in co-work with hivelords.
It evolves from drones or runners.

Ah okay then, my mistake. Anyways, I like the idea - nigh invisibility that rivals that of the Hunter, can be used for scouting at the risk of drawing too much attention. Has a reat strength but a fatal weakness. Reminds me of Farfarello hunters from resident evil.

Maybe instead have it die in only a few hits, be invisible and able to ambush, and be able to pounce really far (but those pounces can't knock anyone over), so you end up with a xeno who's gonna wait and take out one marine, and then lolnope the fuck out of there, always keeping marines on their toes

An alien that has active camo, like a chameleon, weak attack but has the abilitie to call in multiple NPCs of itself, which are much weaker than it.
