Description "That thing is pretty much a Parasite APC, man!"

(Xenotype is the "official" name right now, can't think of anything better, and I didn't want to use Spawn, at least not at the moment)

The Carrier was originally referred to as a "Big Whipper" by some of the more "comedic" of the soldiers, at least until we realized a purpose it had inadvertently developed shortly after it appeared.

Standing at an average of approximately 14+ feet tall, and reaching up to 30+ feet in length, the Carrier is another medium sized Xenotype, and physically resembles the Tank in certain aspects. Fitting, as the Carrier is also a heavily armored monstrosity capable of delivering death with ease. It earned it's original name through the incredibly long and sharp tentacles that sprout from its body when it's ready to attack, tentacles which like other aspects of this species, seem to able to increase or decrease in total length at the creature's will. This results in 40+ foot tentacles whipping through squads of soldiers like nothing, often through sheer surprise, slicing them to ribbons before they're even prepared for an attack. And if they get close, they have the trademark "Krhashathian" claws and blade limbs that cut through armor like butter.

But then we learned another thing they can do, and it lead to their rename. Those large armor plates on their back are thick enough to withstand just about anything, but have enough space between each plate that Parasites can hitch a ride between them. This means that the Carrier can deliver Parasites straight to hosts or a safe place if need be. Plus, like all Xenotypes, Carriers are capable of spontaneous generation of new weapons, limbs and body parts (etc.) as needed as well as a highly potent regeneration ability. Soldiers are once again informed to avoid if possible.
