The Xenomorph XX121AB Goreburster was a variant of the Anathema Bodyburster Xenomorph accidentally developed by the Union of Progressive Peoples and United Americas. [1]
Overview[]
Following the destruction of Rodina Station and Fort Nebraska, all data pertaining to the Bodyburster was lost. Project Life Force and the Darkstar Program attempted to recreate the creature through genetic manipulation. However, what resulted was the sickly abomination known as the Goreburster.[1]
Although the Ovomorph and Facehugger stages of the creature are typical of traditional Xenos (albeit the Egg was a pinkish color), the host will experience extreme amounts of discomfort and appear to have put on water weight,[1] or flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, and bloating.[2] The resulting Chestburster is of enormous size far beyond the typical unaltered creature, has blackened polarized skin and will gruesomely erupt from inside its host. Once free, it will secrete an incredibly toxic slimy pink residue in its wake that, when touched, will aggressively alter the victim's blood cells, causing them to bloat and explode. However the creature don't evolve past the chestburster stage and seems to have a reduced lifespan as upon time it will die on its own[1]
The UPP Ministry of Space Security have since considered using the Goreburster as a weapon of assassination, targeting political rivals and other adversaries.[3]
