A "sequel" to a thread I did back in 2022, where I pitted the Chimera - a parasitic, hive-minded alien race from the Resistance games - against the Predator's Military Caste to see who people here thought would win.
Here's more information about the Chimera here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giLTTWPbVgg
In this case, lets take that scenario and tweak it a bit;
- In this situation, the Chimeran outbreak in Russia still happens in 1927 and eventually they begin to attack Europe in the 1940s. This time, however, a Xenomorph outbreak has occurred in Europe due to an "accidental" spaceship crash and the Xenomorphs have also been taking over the continent.
Eventually, these two alien species - both parasitic and hive-minded - meet and clash, but who will eventually win?
As an aside, both species would be capable of infecting the other as follows:
- A Chimera getting brought down by a Facehugger before a Xenomorph-Chimera Chestburster emerges later.
- A Xenomorph getting turned into a Chimera after been infected with the Chimeran Virus by the beetle-like Crawlers.
However, with both having Hiveminds, what do you think would be the outcome of such Hybrids?
Would one hivemind be superior to the other? Would the Hybrid be independent of both? Would the conflicting instructions of both turn the Hybrid insane/feral and make it a threat to all sides?
Curious to see what you guys think about all of this.
