PRAETORIAN Xenomorph Explained

The Praetorian is an elite type alien. Its one of the larger Xenomorphs, and is able to evolve into a Queen! They are supreme defenders of the hive, and excellent leaders in battle. But there are many different aliens that are called Praetorians, what makes them unique, and what common traits do they share? Examples from AVP video games, movies, Role playing games, and novels.

I remember back in AVP 2010 you could unlock the praetorian as a skin with the alien at like.....level 16 or 19 (something like that) and i remember i was grinding the game and i got sooo close to getting him but for some reason, everytime i closed the game and went back on i would reset back like 6 levels and this happened around 3 or 4 times so i just gave up

[@undead4500]

it odd the Praetorian never made a movie debut yet compared to the predalien lol. Edit: i forget the predalien was also a Praetorian in the movie xD

[@mdhsneaky4421]

Wasn't it a queen ?

[@undead4500]

@@mdhsneaky4421 yeah the directors of the movie calling Predalien "a young queen" which is technically makes it a Praetorian. Also there was a full grown Predalien Queen in AVP extinction for Predator campaign.

My favourite xenomorph castes.

[@simonriddick]

I think it was in 2010 Avp you had to fight them as the marine. I rememeber the pulse rifle or whatever I was using just bouncing off the crest and body. Very tough.

[@swissones]

Don't know if you knew this, but they are also in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and on harder difficulties the bullets bounce off and can ricochet back on you OR your team mates. They did a great job w/ that game.

I love the praetorian Xenomorphs and this video was really good

[@EternalRoman]

This is for the most part very well explained, except for ONE correction on the regular Alien height. Big Chap and Warriors are measured in the lines of 8-9ft tall. This is even confirmed in the size scale of the NECA figures where all figures human and Alien are basically mirrored in the Inches sizes. The Runner Alien in ALIEN 3 was sized at 8ft tall, but was larger in some parts, but Ripley had in fact informed Superintendent Andrews about the height of the creatures she had already faced before on LV-426, again, 8ft tall. As for the Alien Queen, yes, she is 15ft as per James Cameron and the late Stan Winston confirmations.

Would love to see those big girls in a movie to protect me and Hive i only choose which my children is worthy to take the Royal Jelly

[@fknight__]

Now you’ve said it a praetorian v the experimental predator would be a really good matchup

[@jasonsantos3037]

The Pretorians my favorite Xenomorphs type for all time.

[@Ufuk646]

Good Video!!!

[@scifiexplained]

Thanks!

[@williamafton348]

A Crusher is simply a Praetorian evolved from a Dog Alien/Runner type Xenomorph. We really need a Neca ultimate deluxe of the Praetorian, Fireteam Elite finally brought them back in the games.

[@MrCombatmedic00]

The first time I heard about the praetorian guard was in Aliens: Rogue, and Aliens: Genocide

[@scarease1]

Forgot that have the Bezerker is Praetorians .

[@ClosedEyeVisualisations]

To me the mistake of ridley was making an alien movie when he was really making a blade runner movie, i love the story, but its more in line with blade runner - minus the aliens. All the complexity of aliens speaks to MILLIONS of years of evolution if not more, they are almost a perfect lifeform, ancient and honed. But in the new movies, an AI made them by exploiting another alien race's science and biology department. In original alien, seeing the jockey dead, this ancient superior life form, still, dead in place, at the mercy of some animal was so mysterious and eerie and its all gone now.

[@lordmortos979]

You took that last predator movie seriously! 🤣🤣🤣

[@EmzZone42]

I want one in a film and King and Queen Mother

[@OleDirtyMacSanchez]

Doesn't matter the type of Xenomorph. DU round at 3,000 - 4,000 fps will shred them.

[@unit-3650]

Praetorians are the queens guards and also the commander, but do praetorians have the ability to physically stop or restrict the actions of a xenomorph? Well, Predalien has the power to physically stop xenomorphs from attempting to kill a host, do praetorians have anything similiar

[@user-gp7ez5nq7p]

What is the queen alien was able to grow bigger than the emperors in the queen mother what would it be able to do to the emperors and the queen mother?

[@Rysdad1]

What video game is that at time 4:40? My son wants to play it so bad

[@Victor_aeternus002]

AVP: Evolution

[@jochensiegner8490]

hmm, using the metric measurements is welcome. ;-)

Plagarius?

[@EternalRoman]

Basically means "Kidnapper", which fits since Aliens do tend to kidnap more for breeding as a priority.
