"It looks like damage." |
The Rhino Alien is a large Xenomorph variant, created when a Facehugger impregnates a rhinoceros or similar creature (such as a rhynth).[citation needed] Like its host, it sports a muscular stature, as well as a pair of large horns which it presumably uses as a means of attack or defense. The Rhino Alien was impervious to both bullets and fire, the only way of defeating them was to freeze them.
Role in the Hive[]
The Rhino Alien's place in the Hive is unknown, but given its large stature and hard carapace it could be a Drone or a Defender of some type. Its rank is probably above a Drones and below a Praetorian. One of the Rhino Aliens in Aliens: Ice Storm was seen acting as a designated Royal Guard.
The Rhino Alien has a similar demeanor to both the Bull Alien and the Crusher (from the 2013 video game Aliens: Colonial Marines), due to the fact that they are all quadrupedal, extremely aggressive and they all ram into their enemies with their massive heads.
Trivia[]
- The Rhino Alien toy was shipped with the Aliens: Space Marines mini-comic Aliens: Ice Storm.
