=The Shrike=
'''THE BETA.''' The shrike is one of the few xenomorphs that have harnessed telekinesis to defeat the marines, but with this great power comes with great responsibility. With such psychic abilties, you are also tasked to lead the hive with and without a queen. Since you are not queen, you are not as heavy as the queen, so you cannot withstand much damage from marines; in fact, you can get stunned by shotguns and mateba. You are a support caste and should not be spearheading the xeno charge. However, your fling does provide a good stun against one marine, making you an excellent duelist.

'''If the Queen and Shrike die, then the hive will be orphaned and collapse within 2 minutes. If there is no Queen or Shrike in that time period, there will be a marine major.'''

==Using the Force for Offense==
So, seems that you have become the shrike, but what do you do now?

First steps:
*Turn on your pheromones to either recovery, a typically non-combat pheromone, or the warding and frenzy pheromones which increase combat performance of you and your fellow xenos
*Use your Call Burrowed ability regularily, as it allows dead players to respawn at your feet as burrowed larva. '''Use only while you are safe as larva can easily die'''

''Now that thats done, what should I be doing?''
Go help support your fellow xenos at the front line with healing and through the use of your abilities "Fling" and "Devastating Force". As you are more of a support caste marines will be especially eager to kill you. Do note you should not try to take on marines on your own, as you do not do much damage and your abilities are perfect for opening opportunities for your allies.

=Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths=
The Shrike is a Tier 3 and can evolve into a queen if there are more than 8 xenos in the hive.


Maturity increases stats as follows.
* Slash is the melee damage when the xenomorph is in harm intent and slashing marine. In the code, it's melee_damage.
* Melee, bullet, laser, energy, bomb, bio, rad, fire, and acid are soft armor values, not hard armor, which means that they reduce damage by a percentage rather than a flat value.
* Pheromone Strength determines how powerful some activities will be, such as pheromones themselves, as well as using abilities that heal.

=Tips & Tricks=
* Don't tank shots, you are meant as a support caste.
* Open up duels with a fling instead of screech. If you fling first, you can further stun them with a screech, and when screech is used, your fling is ready to go to further stunlock the marine.
* Combo screech and fling with warrior to truly send a marine to Brazil.
* '''Aim for arms in duels'''. You can easily decrease the marine's capability to duel you when they have a fractured arm. Marines can't use shotgun if not wielded. If they have a pistol or submachine gun, then you will have to break both arms to prevent them from using the weapons.
* Use your screech to fling marines' nades back at them; you are the only xenomorph that can do this.
* Use help intent to help shuffle behind marines, turn around to face marines' back, and screech. Watch as they get pushed to a group of xenomorphs.
* Superior to changing face to use unrelenting force is '''Select unrelenting force''' in keybinds. Use this for cheese!
* Sometimes it's better to save psychic cure to save sisters that get into trouble than waste it for a quick heal
