BACKGROUND
The drone is the most common of the adult xenomorphs. In a hive, the drones tend to the food chambers, and are responsible for getting new food and potential hosts. The drones are the smallest of the adults, standing no more than seven feet tall. Their exo-skeletons are brownish-black in color. Like all of the adults, they have long banana-shaped craniums. Unlike other adults, the cranium of the drone is smooth and glossy. They have long, semi-prehensile tails that are capable of supporting their body weight for long periods of time.
NATURE of the ENCOUNTER
An encounter with a Drone usually begins with the Drone stalking the prey. They prefer to hide and wait until a victim is alone before striking, at which point they will normally attempt to strike at the victim from behind or above, catching him unawares. When the Drone is above the victim, the victim may receive a moment's notice of impending doom if he notices the Drone's drool dripping. When hunting lone prey, Drones will normally either strike with the Inner Mouth, or they will grab (grapple) the prey, pick them up, and then strike with the inner mouth (+15 bonus if the victim is being held). If the Drone is attempting to return to the hive with hosts-to-be, it will not use it's Inner Mouth, but will instead attack with it's tail. Any victim struck by the tail must roll a Chemical SMR or be knocked unconscious for 1D2 hours.
If a Drone is engaged in mass combat, it will attack with it's claws, it's Inner Mouth and it's tail. In addition, it will use an Acidic Spit attack. This can be performed up to once per minute. The range for this is three meters, with a 72% attack. A hit by this attack inflicts 1D6 damage per round for 1D4 rounds.
Drones have Climbing 10, Stealth 10, Swimming 8, Tracking 10.
HABITAT
If solitary, a Drone may be found in just about any type of location. Otherwise, they are usually found in a hive.
