The Chrysalis is a very large Xenomorph around the same size as a Praetorian with a greyish-green mesoskeleton and a hard, tan carapace on its head, back, and forearms. It acquired its name from the chrysalis that it is seen gestating in when it is first encountered.
Characteristics[]
The Chrysalis sometimes moves/attacks by rolling itself on the ground in a ball before proceeding along the ground. It possesses an armored head that has a pair of skull-like eyes hidden beneath the cowl.
A unique, more powerful variant of Chrysalis called the Royal Guard are also seen defending the Queen during the final battle; these have a reddish or blue coloring. They appear to shoot cylinders of acid out of their mouth and turn red when severely injured.
The Royal Guard variant's head actually extends a short distance from underneath the carapace over its head when delivering a headbite, in addition to the extension of the inner jaw.
