The role playing game contradicts the movie in several ways, therefore
its contents are purely speculatory, however it has this to say about
the aliens:
* Aliens feed on electricity, sort of like car batteries.
* Facehuggers are awakened by MOTION outside their egg.
* There are 3 types of aliens: queen, warrior and sentries.
* All types of aliens can lay eggs, however the queen's are larger and
will last longer (centuries as opposed to months).
* Warriors are the standard aliens that you see in the movies.
* Sentries have special sensors that allow them to "feel" vibrations
anywhere in the hive.
* Aliens do have a language of gestures and audible sounds.
* Aliens can see infrared as well as the visible spectrum.
