- "I've got a ranch — few clicks outside of town — and my cattle... Something strange is happening!"
- ―The rancher (from Aliens: Showdown)
The Unnamed TerraForm 3 Rancher was a rancher who owned a cattle ranch a few kilometers outside of Tuva Settlement on the planet TerraForm 3. His ranch was overrun by Xenomorphs that infected his cattle and turned them into Bull Aliens.[1]
Biography[]
Cattle disappearances[]
- "They've been disappearing, so I kept watch tonight..."
- ―The rancher to Hicks (from Aliens: Showdown)
After the rancher's cattle kept disappearing, he decided to keep watch one night. During his watch, he noticed something strange in amidst the cattle. He mistook it for a strange looking bull, but the creature soon charged at him before stopping a few feet away from him and hissing. This caused the rancher to bolt to his truck and seek help.[1]
Meeting the Marines[]
- "It was too dark to get a good look at it. I just hope it didn't follow me!"
- ―The rancher to the Space Marines (from Aliens: Showdown)
When his truck came barreling into Tuva Settlement, he met the Space Marines and frantically told them what happened before finally stating that the hoped the creature hadn't followed him. To his misfortune, it had. The Marines then got into formation and prepared to fight the Alien.
The Alien continued to charge towards them and flipped the rancher's truck with a single hit. The rancher then watched as Hicks tried to defeat the Bull Alien. After Hicks finally subdued the creature, the rancher presumably stayed in Tuva Settlement while the Marines tried to call the other ranchers on the planet.[1]
Trivia[]
- The rancher says his ranch is a few "clicks" outside of town, the writers presumably meant to have him say "klicks" which is slang for kilometers.
