Below are the known evolutions of the human-spawned Drone. They usually do this following a pheromone command from the Queen of a hive. They also tended to flail their tails around wildly.Īs a transitional stage of the Xenomorph, much like the Chestburster, the Drone's main purpose is to molt into a Stage 4 caste. These Drones possessed an elongated chin and a brown-colored mesoskeleton.

The Cystic Acid spitter variation of the Drone is also capable of being Cystic enhanced itself.Ī variety of Drones only known as 'Maru's Demons' were born from an unknown non-human host. These variants of the Drone are denoted by a crimson stripe down their carapace. The cysts invade the body through the resultant acid-induced wounds, whereupon they cause tumors that use the host's body to generate nutrients beneficial to transbreed Chestburster development.ĭrones born from hosts infused Cystic Acid are enhanced in their strength and resilience. Some Drones develop their acid-spitting ability into the ability to produce a cyst-filled acidic froth that it spits on potential hosts. More distinct molts of the Drone are included in the evolution section. Listed below are the known variants of the Drone.

The Drone possesses a very limited range of known variation, owing to its nature as an immature Xenomorph. Non-human spawned Drones may even have completely different roles in the hive. Non-human spawned Drones will tend to look vastly different due to the DNA reflex absorbing some genetic traits of the host during gestation. These Hives have double the health of a regular one. The Lich can repair them at the cost of his health though. These hives cannot be captured, and are instead destroyed. This means The Lich gets four every 3 seconds as there are four hives in his room. As well as hive maintenance and building, the Drones also facilitate the construction of Hive Nodes. In a regular Drone Hive, they are triangles. They use their intelligence and stealth to act as efficient host suppliers for the hive. The Drones also possess a limited capability to spit acid at their foes.ĭrones tend to act in a solitary nature and employ ambush tactics against their victims. Their tails are tipped with a barbed stinger that is capable of paralyzing potential hosts for transportation to the hive and can otherwise be used as a deadly impaling weapon. depending on the tiers of the drone and hive, it can go from seconds without the hive to tens of minutes with the hive. But with the artificier hive just sitting on your back, every ten seconds, it restore some of the drones duration. While low in the hive's hierarchy, the Drone is still a highly adept killer and is extremely strong when compared with their host. The defender drone duration is way too short to be of any real use since its deflect ability is so low. Their most distinctive feature is their smooth domed carapaces which are sometimes translucent, revealing the skull underneath which tends to be similar to the host's own skull but merged with the elongated structure typical of Xenomorphs. Their mesoskeletons are typically black or grey but are also known to come in brown and blue hues.
