The Rose-thorn

The Rose-thorn is a unique pink xenomorph discovered by Trex on an unregistered planet.

Appearance
The Rose-thorn displays the typical appearance of a warrior caste xenomorph with two notable exceptions: Its exoskeleton is entirely pink and its tail is whip-like and covered in 6in. long thorn-like spikes (similar to those of a deadly nadder).

Behavior
While superficially resembling a warrior, it is highly intelligent displaying a proficiency in combat as well as an unusual sense of self preservation (a trait uncommon in xenomorphs).

Whip-like tail
The Rose-thorn has a unique whip-like tail covered in sharp thorns. It often flails the tail to create a whip-crack for intimidation.

Floral Pheromones
The Rose-thorn constantly emits a faint pheromone which prevents other xenomorphs from becoming aggressive towards it, thus allowing it to enter other hives without detection.

It can willingly emit a cloud of the floral scented pheromones to distract potential opponents.
