Alien Life Forms (EU2012)

There are a number of Alien Life Forms to be encountered during the First Alien War, each with a unique set of strengths, weaknesses and abilities. Know your enemy; your soldiers' lives depend on it.

Chryssalid

Chryssalids are fast melee units. Their Implant attack is particularly dangerous.

• Poisonous Claws: "Poison enemies wounded by a melee attack."
• Implant: "Victims are implanted with a Chryssalid egg if they are killed by the attack." A successful implant converts the victim into a zombie that eventually hatches into another Chryssalid a couple turns later.
