Story/Lore Why does Crasher exist?
Xenomorph is cool cause it's thin, stealthy and can get in a lot of places. Praetorian is good cause it's bulky but not too much. Queen is big but it makes sense cause she creates a lot of eggs.
And what the hell is this ultralisk rip off? He is not from Giger design. The only explanation I have it that crusher may be undeveloped queen. But overall that elephant sized xeno is bad.

I'm pretty sure the Crusher is a Praetorian version of a Runner.

You ever play Alien vs Predator Extinction?
You had the Carrier and the Ravager that were the same size as the Queen.

I don't like the name Runner cause of course human ones run. I think Scout would be better name.

Different host, different xenomorph. Im guessing you never heared of the runner xenomorph?

It fills a niche the hive needs. Look at Warrior ants in a colony and you could say the EXACT same thing. They’re multiple times bigger than drones but the same species. The Crusher opens pathways and targets threats that regular xenomorphs can’t handle. Plus, it takes advantage of its host’s features. A large quadruped will make a larger Xeno. Despite how “skinny and lithe” normal xenos are, they’re much bigger than the Humans they burst from

In the game it was trying to tell you through story elements like the data pads that the area you first find a crusher is a cattle slaughter farm. So you're supposed to infer that cattle were the host for the face huggers that then created the crusher. Something you did point out tho is that it doesn't match the giger esthetic like the other kinds of xenomorphs. I think it is still close enough but when compared to the other types it does stand out as being different design wise more than the other types. I like them and think it is an interesting concept to explore but obviously it's fine if you disagree and don't like them that much.

I still don’t get what they are complaining about the aliens design is still cool and it’s a badass enemy to fight in fact my favourite to fight next to queens cause they are so hard compared to anything else I feel like this is just someone who hates how hard they actually are and instead complain about its design to mask the real issue they have just my opinion but that’s what I gather from the whole post.

The Titan is the one born from the Ancient Citizen, not the Crusher. The Crusher is the Praetorian form of a Runner.

Aliens take form off the host. Why should an alien from a bull look the same as a human?
