How much damage do their attacks do?
- If they're anything like the Chryssalids (which they probably are), they don't actually do damage. Any attack by them is instantly lethal and spawns a zombie.

Tentaculat vs. SWS

Scary Bio-Drones?
Does anyone mind if I remove the reference in this article and elsewhere to Bio-Drones being some super-scary alien? Sure, they're at least on par with a sonic-equipped Tasoth Soldier, but compared to aliens with DPLs (particularly Lobster Men) or to Tentaculats they're pretty tame, and even Xarquid/Triscenes are arguable (yes, there's the huge explosive weakness, but they're both way tougher against anything else and both have much better odds of getting through Magnetic Ion Armour).
