BACKGROUND
The egg is the first (as far as is known) stage of a xenomorph's life, as this is where the Face-hugger resides. The egg is about one meter high, and 0.45 to 0.6 meters in diameter. The egg is leathery and moist, and greenish-brown in color. The top of each egg has what looks like a large "X" cut in it. This is the opening. Extending from the bottom of the egg are several long, root-like tendrils. It is currently thought that these tendrils act as a sensory apparatus (with a sensory range of 7 to 10 meters). The tendrils also possibly serve as nutrient-gatherers and waste disposal. The lifespan of an egg is unknown, but is thought to be decades, if not centuries if given the right conditions. Eggs are normally laid by the Queen and tended to by Drones, but some adults have the ability to create eggs.
NATURE of the ENCOUNTER
An egg encounter usually begins with the unsuspecting victim approaching to investigate the egg. When the victim comes within two meters, the egg will slowly start to open. When the victim is roughly one meter away, the Face-hugger inside of the egg will launch itself at the victim with surprising speed. Note that the eggs are unusually vulnerable to fire and suffer double damage from fire and pulse attacks.
HABITAT
Xenomorph eggs are normally found in a Hive/nest. They may be found in other areas if transported there by some means.
