Carrier
Reproductive media not shown. Tootles is the victim of an attack.
Denouement
Tootles falls into the enclosure and dies from the attack. Once the insulation is broken, flies damage laboratory equipment.
Development
- Transported as separate samples.
- On the island they are kept and fed in a special enclosure.
- They release a caustic liquid and damage the materials of the artificial body.
Dossier boundaries
Tootles does not become the host of the xenomorph larva. Nutrition and reproduction are different processes.
