Crawler: Crawlers are the most common Xer'Gi, literally mass produced from the Xer'gi lairs. To speed up their growth, their claws and limbs are grown independently then attached to larvae to complete growth.
They are lightning-fast yet expendable, making them perfect for wasting enemy ammunition or ambushing unsuspecting targets expecting larger foes.
Biped: The bipeds are among the smartest of the generic strains of Xer'gi, with a visible brain that emits light through their translucent head. They have impeccable aim, quickly regenerating arm spikes, as well as blood vessels reinforced with a strange purple material that contrasts their green exterior. They wear armor over their chest and legs, leaving their arms free to operate weaponry and machinery.
Despite having a pair of sharp mandibles for a jaw, they can speak quite articulately but lack strong biting abilities. They are normally herbivores.
BehemotH: Behemoths are massive, lumbering, and extremely stupid beasts capable of leveling buildings in a fit of rage. They have four legs each reinforced with ribs of green crystal and are tipped with red crystal claws. The head has massive green crystal plates as armor concealing a huge maw straight from the mind of Lovecraft. Two massive tentacles breach through the armor at the base of its neck and bear razor-sharp blades as well as menacing tusks on each end to draw in their helpless prey.
Its back is riddled with jagged spikes and thick green armor plates.
Behemoths have the unique ability to adapt following life-threatening circumstances. For example, if one survives an explosion, it will almost certainly have thicker armor plates next time it fights.
BrUte: The brutes are a unique strain of Xer'gi, known not only for their strength and size, but their complete inability to process morality codes.
They have blueish plates over their crystalline skin, as well as large blades on their arms. Other than that and a difference in proportion, they look very much like a large biped with more armor.

---Players---
Sareesa-1-
"And that's why I work alone, most people don't want to be that close to the death."Handing the biped's severed head to Tarran, Sareesa notices the grenade in her hand, sighs, and facepalms.
This is what he calls stealth...Gordon-3-Continuing to chop wood, Gordon fails his observation roll as the explosion shakes the entire forest and drops a branch right behind him.
"Choppin' down trees, choppin' down trees..."25/50 trees left.Taric-6-Opening fire with the flamethrower, Begins to let out a maniacal laugh before a huge explosion knocks him to the ground.
Tarran-6+1-
(Opportunity attack!)"How's my throwing arm?!" Tarran shouts.
Tarran unhooks a grenade from his belt, steadies his arm, and then throws it. Being a master of throwing objects, Tarran easily lands the grenade precisely next to the pile of missiles. Tarran slowly counts the seconds before the fuse ends.
One...
Two...
Everything goes silent, and the entire place bursts into flame.
When the silence ends, countless aliens are on the ground, burnt, torn apart, or simply vaporized. The biped squad was completely destroyed, being rather close to the explosives in the core of the base. The crawlers are mostly on the front line, but the blast was still powerful enough to tear a few limb-from-limb. The behemoths were too far away and too resilient to take any damage.
The alien leader, though, is on the ground. he struggles to stand up, his own body literally flaking off from the wear. Severely weakened, he dashes behind the building where his gun landed.
Zrk-3-Zrk, pleased with the current state of affairs, pulls the trigger and watches the carnage as his power suit does most of the aiming for him. Stray bullets go everywhere, (2) but the sheer volume of fire forces the aliens to duck behind buildings and cover. However, at precisely the right moment, a small flare flies from behind a building, into a pile of explosives.
The result simply doesn't need describing, and Zrk doesn't bother, either, as he mows down the remaining crawlers. [5]
He then sees the behemoths emerging from the flames, unscathed, and shifts his aim.
"You want some more?!" shouts Zrk.Kir'Zhan-2-Impaling the biped with his head and severing it, (5+1) Kir'Zhan chuckles to himself.
"There are times I love being a walking talking blender"While heading further ahead along the road, Kir'Zhan hears a huge explosion. Just in time to watch the show, Kir'Zhan sees the ball of flame engulf one of the SAM towers, with the battered alien squad vainly making a last stand.
"Aww, I was late to the party."Rayn-3-Using the last of her flame breath, Saith spews a cloud of fire and smoke in one direction, before flying in the other. The missile follows the cloud, goes through, and does a 180 back down towards the tower (5) hitting it and causing it to collapse in on itself. (4)
----Hostiles----
Nero-91-1-The brute desperately looks for his gun in the debris, but fails to catch a mere glimpse.
