Name: Reaper
First Encountered: First Alien War
Designation: Organic Bipedal Terror Weapon
Known Sub-categories: None
The Reaper was most often found supporting the Floater alien race in terror raids and primary assault missions in urban areas. A massive, bipedal carnivore on the scale of the mechanized Sectopod, the Reaper has been found to be most vulnerable to incendiary based munitions due to its surprisingly tough but flammable hide. Other important details of this alien organism include a redundant circulatory system supplied by the action of two identical hearts and an extreme tolerance for standard weapon inflicted trauma up to and including armor piercing munitions. This organism represents alien bioengineering at its most basic, a tough, viscious animal designed specifically to devour any hapless organism of lesser strength and size in its way. Further research into this organisms genotype and evolutionary history has been hindered by a lack of material.
