Here's a few of my ideas for aliens. Feel free to add more.
Armedillo Adult:
A genetic mutation causes the adult to grow extremely protective plating all over it's back. This plating makes it near impervious when it's curled up, however the weight of the plating makes the alien move very slow when it isn't curled up.
This alien would act like the droideka from Star Wars Episode one. It rolls up into a ball and rolls close to the marines. When it is in a certain range it uncurls and moves in for melee attacks.
Body Snatcher:
Parasite that latches onto the back of a marine and brings it under alien control. You can't damage a marine that's under alien control. You have to shoot at the back and remove the parasite that way. While the marine is under alien control it will move at walking speed and it will try to kill you with the weapon it had selected at the time it was 'infested'. It won't run out of ammo.
The best way to avoid marines falling under alien control is to not turn your backs to them at any time. The Body Snatcher parasite can only attack you from the back, and won't be able to attack you any other way.
Chameleon Adult:
Slow moving adult that has the ability to change it's outer layer of skin to match it surroundings, rendering it allmost invisible to the naked eye. They will turn visible once they start attacking, or when you damage them. The scanner still picks these up like normal.
Venom Spitter:
A variety of alien that has large venom glands and spits out corrosive blobs of acidic venom. These blobs will do damage to marines, and wherever they strike they will create puddles of acid that take a few moments to disintegrate. The same puddle is also created when the creature dies, as the sacks of venom tear open and are emptied on the floor. AI bots will automatically try to jump over the puddles when they encounter them.
Feel free to suggest or add more aliens.
