<div class="IPBDescription">@ UWE Team | walking spawn alien</div>The Hatcher is a big creature it has the half-size of a onos.
Maybe it look like a mix between gorge and onos (female)
It has a huge belly:
Example

Health and armor?
1. a lot of armor but its slow
or
2. like the onos and its a bit faster.
<b>Attack1</b>: spit a load of acid at CLOSE RANGE! like the gorge heal / <b>or</b> just a bite attack.
<b>Attack2</b>: Not a attack, just brute mode, in this mode, the teammates will spawn as nymph out of this Hatcher, everytime a "teammate" spawn, the Hatcher lost energy (not health)
<b>Attack3</b>: slime /placenta mines (do a bit damage and slow down marines) / <b>or</b> the hatcher can create Dynamic infestation on surfaces, very slow but it can help to expand it / make it faster
<b>Attack4</b>: explode, no damage to marines but to buildings and it will spawn 3-6 (?) teammembers. (and maybe it create a small radius of Dynamic infestation?)
So the teammembers can choose to spawn at "hive" or the hatcher
<b>Cost:</b>
it cost more then a onos because its a very advantage.
But if you think, the marines can build spawns, the aliens not, so its maybe balanced
<b>version 2:</b>
or maybe if a mates spawn out of this hatcher, the hatcher will lost health, so without a gorge, it has not many chances
P.S. kids don't go crazy its just an idea.

With the new Grid-layout there isn't realy a need to have a mobile Spawn, since those Ideas where spawned by the Problematic Tactic of locking down Hives to prevent Aliens the advantage of Techtree and Spawnrate increase.
You came at least once accross this one, and it was pretty Nasty.
You are a genius!!!!
Its a concept for HL... its an EXAMPLE Picture of how it looks like (special the belly), its more like gorge and onos mix...can you read?
I can't draw very good...so.
And no its not a complete copy from hl1...did the alien ever spawn aliens?...oh man i hate this troll posts without any content...

I guess it wasn't implemented in Half-Life because it looks like a crab with a giant testicle on it's underbelly. It's not scary, it's not practical and it looks damn weird. I can't see a 'new creature' being added this late or considered until release.
PS. Could also be an early version of strider?

Wait... wasn't this the giant headcrab that DID crap out little baby white headcrabs...?
And I'm not very keen on the idea of an alien being a spawn base. Aliens already have a large advantage in mobility and can move around the map real fast. This would give them an added advantage, they don't really need.
Also, I don't think the devs have time to include a new alien by now anyway.
Yes. I can't remember where I've seen it, but I remember this Beast hunting me through half the Map of dark tunnels. Nearly ###### myself.
But it did shoot annoying babycrabs at the player.
