Stalkers

Stalkers Alien ground troops

The only fully organic species of the Alien Forces, the four-legged, four-armed semi-humanoids called 'Stalkers' by the Survivors are fast and strong, but seem to be as vulnerable to small arms fire as Humans are, sometimes employing armour and weapons to aid them in battle. Rarely working alone the Stalkers use group tactics against their enemies and seem highly organised, like any trained military unit. It is unclear whether these creatures are the actual race that came on the Carriers or a slave race, but they seem to be able to interact with Drones, Mantas and Mechs with no trouble. There are rumours of a creature existing that resembles the Stalker, but is larger and more heavily armoured. These rumours are currently unsubstantiated however.
