A xenomorph warrior is a fictional classification of alien featured in the Aliens film series. They first appeared in the 1986 feature film Aliens. The creature that appeared in the original installment, Alien, is a drone and not a warrior. Biologically, warriors were similar to drones, though their function in xeno culture was to preserve and safeguard the hive, and more importantly, the queen. Like other specimens of this race, warriors were fast and fierce and had acid for blood. They maintained a secondary mandible that protruded outwards from within the primary mouth structure.
Notes[]
- Xenomorph warriors are not to be confused with Xenomorph praetorians, which serve a similar function in that they are considered the royal guard of a hive, but are often larger creatures with distinctive head crests, similar to a queen.
