Talk:The Xenomorph

Tail Attack Cooldown speed

The power trivia says the movement speed during the tail-attack cool-down is 2 m/s, based on the patch notes I believe that's only movement speed for missed tail attacks. The movement speed for the successful tail attack CD is presumably 1.2 m/s.

Also on a sidenote, the wiki add-ons descriptions still refer to old runner mode name instead of crawler mode.

Trivia facts:

• The base Xenomorph is a drone which was nicknamed "Big chap" and "Kane's son"

• Xenomorph's mori is a direct reference to the film "Alien vs Predator" where it mirrors the Xenomorph nicknamed "Grid" killing the Yautja known as Chopper.

• The Xenomorph in the game is seen as digitigrade despite in the films being depicted as bipedal. Most likely an influence by the game Alien Isolation and later adaptations of the Xenomorph.

• The tunnels are modeled after the film Aliens, and you can see dead bodies who where most likely cocooned and chest bursted.

• Xenomorph is the first killer to have a unique hook regardless of the map he is in. This is because as stated by BHVR's AMA, the reason the Xenomorph hooks survivors is due to the entity attaching itself and becoming a part of the Xenomorph hive mind and has some control over them.

• Strangely enough Xenomorph is the only killer who cannot be rotated in the menu, Though he can be rotated in the store section.

• The Xenomorph was intentionally designed to display the imagery of sexual assault which is enforced by the birth cycle of the Xenomorph being forcefully impregnated into a host's body and his head having a very noticeable phallic design

• When The Xenomorph sneaks up on Ellen Ripley in the first trailer is a reference to the most iconic scene of Alien 3 where the Runner Xenomorph approaches Ripley after killing Dr Clemens, which afterwards he lets her go due to having an chestburster inside of her.

Skin trivia:

• The Xenomorph queen is the second legendary skin to have an unique menu entrance, the first being William Birkin for the Blight.
• The Xenomorph queen is the currently the tallest character in Dead By Daylight.

• The Xenomorph Clone is a reference to Ripley's defective clones being directly inspired by the clone known as Ripley 5 from Alien Resurrection.
• The Xenomorph Clone is technically not a Xenomorph, but a hybrid mixed with human DNA.
• Grid is the only skin that doesn't come from the Alien franchise but instead coming from the Alien vs Predator franchise as Grid was a Xenomorph who was scarred by the net of the Predator "Celtic" , which could also hint at Predator becoming a future licensed chapter. This is further enforced by the some of the descriptions being described as a foe which is an obvious nod to the Yautja.
• Grid despite looking similar to Big Chap has differences like being darker, having 3 fingers instead of 4, different dorsal backs, having a more organic look, a larger tail tip and whiter teeth.
• Grid has a very noticeable ammount of Yautja blood in his tail
