Crawler: Small, weak, really stupid. They are black with four legs each ending in a green spike. They have large mandibles made from red-tipped crystal as well as two red eyes and two large claws extending from above their body, each having the equivalent of a biological meat cleaver on the end.
They also have two short sets of wings that can be used for gliding. Since they are the only type of alien that can climb trees, they have a habit of ambushing unsuspecting players from above.
Biped: Two legged aliens with basic arms and clawed legs. These are the smartest ones and have sharp crystals running down their arms. These can be dislodged easily and used as projectiles.
Behemoth: Giant, as well as being even stupider than the crawlers. 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 that conceals its huge maw. Its back is riddled with jagged spikes and thick green armor plates.
Do keep in mind that not all of them are the same.
Spoiler: Behemoths have the unique ability to adapt. If one survives an explosion, it will almost certainly have thicker armor plates next time it fights.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Zrk-3-Seeing the alien commanding the beast, Zrk shoots it. The hail [6] of molten iron strikes the alien in the foot [2] but vaporizes the dirt on the ground [3] causing a massive transfer of heat into the alien [5]. It doesn't flinch. [6]
Gordon-1-Gordon, a bit dehydrated, fires off a few rounds [3] at the alien before heading down to the rocky shore to get a drink. He is unaware of the river's high acidity.
Kneeling down for a drink, he feels a sharp pain in his knee where his uniform was slightly torn.
"Ack, must be some kind of fish!"Jumping out of the water, Gordon examines the wound and notices his skin beginning to turn red. However, with no bite marks, Gordon realizes there is something in the water.
"Well I'll be. This water's not safe."He stands up, only to collapse on the ground in front of him. Thea rushes to the rescue.
Sareesa-6-
"This is Sareesa, the river is acid, don't go through the water unless your suit is water-tight, or you want to be a skeleton, over."Tarran replies,
"Acid rivers, how nice. Not as nice, however, as A FREAKING GIGANTIC ALIEN TRYING TO KILL THE REST OF US! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! Over."Kir'Zhan also speaks into the radio,
"Acid water, unforchunate as It will mean we require more bottled water. Whoever has equiptment for it should check to see if the animals or plants are poisonous or harmful as well, especially the nice delicious tree bark, after we fight off these creatures of course."Sareesa continues,
"I'm tracking down their settlement and noting the locations of other attack groups so you can either take them out or call down artillery strikes on them as necessary. Also, I operate on a policy of radio silence unless reporting something important, try to do the same yourself, over."But Tarran objects, saying,
"I don't think being silent is of any use to me right now, ma'am, considering that they're throwing every freaking guy in the immediate vicinity at us right now. Over."Sareesa finishes the argument,
"If you think my knife would be of more use over there in a fire fight, you are desperately mistaken, over." before shutting off her radio and waiting for the aliens to pass.
Thank goodness nobody ever looks up...The aliens are heading along a road, leading to the log. Sareesa can see numerous crawlers hiding in trees, ready to strike. The whole attack was prepared-for.
Turning her radio back on, she hears Thea yell through the speaker.
"Gordon got himself into some trouble! We might not move ahead for a while!"
"Roger that. Be careful, there are crawlers in the trees up ahead. The whole attack was set up. There is also another behemoth and some bipeds on their way along the trail. Get ready.""Roger that. Good luck finding them."Taric-5-
"Finally, some real action!"Brandishing his grenade launcher, Taric aims at the behemoth [5] and pulls the trigger. The round hits it square in the face [5] severing its lower left back tooth [2].
Taric fires again. And three more times, before reloading his launcher with his near-endless supply of ordnance.
The 2nd grenade hits the behemoth in the front right leg [3] shattering it [3].
The 3rd grenade lands in the same spot as the first [5] but doing nothing [2].
The 4th grenade severs its injured leg [6].
The 5th grenade lands straight in its mouth [6] and explodes, tearing its head clean open [5] and knocking one of four remaining bipeds down [3].
Tarran-2-Tarran, under a bit of stress from the situation of being stranded on a planet with a race of crystal monsters trying to gut him, can't quite concentrate (-1). Nevertheless, stealing Zrk's target, he takes aim at the creature's torso [4-1], and fires three bursts in quick succession, shattering its chest and knocking it to the ground. [3][5][3]
He then feels a cold wind pass him, and glances behind him to see a massive green spike embedded in a tree.
"Those spikes are from their arms! But how?"Rayn-Absent-
Kir'Zhan-5-Muzzling the alien's mandibles with a vine seems adequately shut the crawler up. With no grasping limbs it cannot unpin itself.
Kir'Zhan then proceeds to sneak up on a biped, specifically the one that tried to kill Tarran. It's arms are lined with spikes, but the ones closer to the front of the arm are much smaller than the rest. There is also a gap on one arm that is not present on the other.
Do they use their spikes as ammunition?Grabbing its crossbow-esque weapon, Kir'Zhan wrestles the biped behind some pushes, narrowly avoiding the view of the other two bipeds which are advancing towards the group. Putting a blade at its neck, he pins it to a tree in a similar way to the crawler, but this time crippling its hands. They give with a satisfying sound like the cracking of glass. Holding on to one of the shards for experimentation, he ponders whether to kill this one or interrogate it later.
