The Swimmer is an aquatic Xenomorph that was encountered by Colonial Marines on the primarily oceanic planet known as "Bracken's World".

Appearance

"Swimmers" have large headcrests that resemble the Queen's headcrest. The body structure below their waist strongly resembles the structure of a fish, which mirrors the mer-creature that originated from folklore. The tails also have lateral fins and several trailing tentacles.

History

These Xenomorphs were first encountered by a group Colonial Marines that was sent to the colony on the oceanic planet "Bracken's World". Having become stranded on one of the kelp beds following an APC breakdown, the group was attacked from the water by the large Xenomorphs.
