Appearance and Notable Features : Klaw is a taller Warrior Xenomorph with a ridged head. Klaw's jaw has formed jagged mandibles around it over time due to slight altercations to the alien's chromosomes. The altercation has also caused some joints(such as the elbows) to form spike-like structures. Klaw has an X branded on its forehead, as all other specimens have based on their subject numbering.
Bio: Weyland-Yutani, being the company that it is, wanted to study how much of an effect the host had on the xenomorph. To test this, average human hosts were used as a control for the experiment. What they did after that, was genetically modify an egg before the facehugger was formed. They altered the chromosomes in the egg through an elaborate process, slightly modifying the chromosomes to slightly increase the strength of the exoskeleton, its musclular system, and intelligence. And then, having planned all of this in advance, Weyland-Yutani used a very specific host for the modified xeno. This host was a genetically and physically perfect human male, born and raised by Weyland-Yutani for the sole purpose of this experiment. They waited until he was exactly 25 years old, the age where he reached his peak, to be used as the host. The facehugger was applied to the host, and when the chestburster emerged from the man's chest, studies began immediately. Subject X grew to be 9 feet tall, as opposed to the usual 8ft tall. It's exoskeleton was observed to be thicker, and was developing structures that were unusual on a warrior. Subject X was indeed intelligent, but the effect Weyland-Yutani wanted when altering the chromosomes, which was for it to not have the ability to connect to a hive mind, was not reached. Subject X quickly connected to the queen, and made many escape attempts. The head of the city, Alexander Cade, nicknamed Subject X "Klaw" due to a clawing frenzie it went into while he was observing, and he thought it was a cool name.
During the power out, Klaw escaped captivity and helped the queen escape. Klaw quickly formed a leader position over other warriors, and took down any threats to the hive. When the predators arrived along with marines, things went crazy. The colony was a war zone. A blooded predator, who was sent to the planet, set off to hunt Klaw after witnessing it in action. Through many encounters with both of them gaining the upper hand in different situations, eventually it came down to a final battle in a forest area not too far from the colony. Klaw's warriors were taken out by the blooded's ranged weaponry, making it 1 on 1. Both of them used hit and run attacks, with a slash made here and a kick there, until they both decided to stand their ground. After a tough battle, Klaw came out on top with an unexpected move. With the win over its first predator, Klaw started to head back to the colony.
After a little while, all 3 factions were reduced to pretty much nothing. Now the real war was beginning, with all 3 sides coming prepared for the battle.
RP Sample: The predator landed in a small clearing of the forest, maybe 15 feet in diameter. The Forest was dark, and the only visible light was the small beam that covered the clearing. A light breeze made the foliage sway, and the usual sounds made by the native life had gone silent. The blooded predator readied his double sided glaive and scanned his surroundings. Klaw slowly stalked through the tree tops, observing his opponent. Knowing his opponent was ready for an attack, Klaw cut a branch above the predator. When something fast came into his view, it was immediately sliced through. In the split second before the hunter swung, he saw that the object was not highlighted in his view and was instead a branch, and swung behind him right after cutting through the branch. Klaw had lunged from the opposite direction right after cutting the branch, and the distracted predator turned and swung right at Klaw. Klaw did its best to jerk away from the swing, but one of its back tubes was cut in half. Acid blood shot out at the predator, whose arm was then burned. Ignoring the pain, the blooded counter swung, but was parried by Klaw's tail. They both stepped back, staring each other down(as much as a xenomorph can stare). The sky now darkened, and thick clouds rolled in. Klaw reared back and lunged forward with its claws, the blooded predator easily smashing it to the ground with the middle of the glaive, leaving the xeno stunned on the ground. The predator then brought his glaive above his head in preparation to bring the blade down into his wounded opponent, and let out a victory roar while doing so. It took barely a second for him to bring the glaive back above his head, with the bottom blade aimed towards the seemingly motionless Klaw. For that short, short moment, the hunter looked into Klaw's ridged dome, and saw what was almost a smile. It was in that moment that the hunter realized that this xenomorph was much more than meets the eye, as Klaw pierced his tail through the hunter's chest. The hunter let out a roar of pain and dropped his hands down. Klaw lifted him up into the air and grabbed the glaive with both hands, right next to the hunter's hands, and pulled the glaive in order to bring him further down the tail. When they were inches away from each other, Klaw grabbed the mask with one hand, and removed it. Now, face to face, they each let out their respective war cries, which seemed to echo throughout the forest. Just before the cry was over, Klaw shot out its tongue into the brains of the hunter, silencing him forever. The forest was now dead silent, and 4 warriors slowly lined up behind him. As the hunter's body dropped, so did the rain. When the body hit the floor, it was impossible to distinguish the thud, from the thunder.
