Character Info

Name: Alien (Xenomorph)
Allegiance: none
Relatives: unknown
First Appearance: Mortal Kombat X

Bio

The Xenomorphs had descended on Outworld long ago, but the dormant eggs they left behind were only recently found. The leader of the Tarkatan patrol had picked up one of the leathery orbs, only to have it burst open and its occupant latch itself to his face. Later, after the "facehugger" had fallen off, the Alien progeny burst from the unfortunate Tarkatan's chest, bearing characteristics of both Xenomorph and host. It eluded the rest of the Tarkatan soldiers and eventually killed them. The creature now roams Outworld, looking for more hosts. Its amazing strength and animal fury make Alien almost unstoppable.

Notes

*NOTE #1: For the Alien Baby Brutality, you need to use the regular, close and far variations depending on your current distance from your opponent that stands in the egg circle.
*NOTE #2: Also for the Alien Baby Brutality, you can perfrom the Ovomorph/Advanced Ovomorph (D, B, FP) on a different range then where the opponent is at the moment and launch the Facehugger (D, B, FP) to the opponent to trigger the Brutality. That is also true for launching the Facehugger in the first round.
*NOTE #3: Both of the aforementioned notes are true for both the regular and special versions of the Alien Baby Brutality.
