[edit] Combat

Stream-lined(Ex): A xenomorph has a +10 racial bonus to Swim, Balance, Climb, and Jump checks due to its aerodynamic exoskeleton.

Improved Grab(Ex): To use this ability, the alien queen must hit with 2 successful major claw attacks. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins, it establishes a hold and may attack with its extending mouth or perform a rake attack with its two minor claws.

Extending Mouth(Ex): Attack bonus +26 melee, damage 2d8+7.

Minor Claw(Ex): Two vestigial appendages sit between the alien queen's upper arms and bear claws that deal damage as if two sizes smaller than normal(1d6). These minor claws can only be used during a rake.

Rake(Ex): Attack bonus +26 melee, damage 1d6+7.

Sneak Attack(Ex): As the rogue class ability of same name(+8d6 damage).

Telepathy(Su): The alien queen can issue telepathic commands to all xenomorphs she has spawned on the planet which she currently nests. When on a plane other than the Material Plane, the range of this ability is reduced to 500 feet.

Egg Sack(Ex): This membranous sack contains unhatched Facehugger eggs. The alien queen is attached to one of these while in her lair, and it prevents any movement. It has a hardness of 10 and has 40 hit points. The egg sack can be detached by the alien queen in two full-round actions, allowing her normal movement of 80 ft. When the alien queen finds a suitable lair, a new egg sack will grow in 3d8 weeks. The egg sack is required to use the Lay Eggs ability.

Lay Eggs(Ex): Once per round as a full round action, the alien queen may lay a Facehugger egg that hatches when ordered to by the alien queen.
