OK Civilian This creature appears to be very similar in appearance to a human, although mentally inferior in almost all regards. Groups of these creatures always accompany other alien species on Terror Missions, although their purpose on these missions is currently unknown. In combat, the species become suicidal: running into active gunfire, sitting on live grenades and force-feeding themselves to the various attack beasts they work alongside with. This activity, combined with their general human appearance, causes severe morale loss to any troops that witness the demise of these pathetic creatures first-hand.

Of course it'd be Chryssalid Wasps! We're not allowed nice things here.

X-COM: UFO Defense (a.k.a. UFO: Enemy Unknown) was released on March 1994. Chryssalid The game features an alien enemy called a Chryssalid that has a life cycle almost identical to real life parasitoid wasps (as well as the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies which themselves The crob-like claws of this creature are g powerful weopon in cloge combab. The high mebabolism ond strength oF this creabure give ib speed and dexberity. Instead of Killing its victim ib impregnates it with on egg and injects a venom which burns it into O wolking zombie.

What fans of the game don't know however is that it predicted a real scientific discovery made that same year! A paper published in the July 1994 issue of the journal Animal Beahviour (merely 5 months after the game's release) called "Usurpation of host behaviour by a parasitic wasp" was the first ever documented examination of what would later be called the bodyguard manipulation! This phenomenon occurs after a parasitoid wasp injects her eggs inside a host, later these eggs hatch into larvae that influence the behavior of the host in ways that benefit their development. The real manipulation however starts after the larvae emerge from the host and start spinning silken cocoons! Somehow, by means still poorly understood, the mortally wounded and barely living host remains under the control of the wasp larvae and violently guards them from any threat that might endanger them while they pupate! Referred to as Voodoo Wasps and the hosts as essentially living Zombies it doesn't take much imagination to see how this is perfectly mirrored in the Chryssalids! Indeed X-COM predicted a real world biological phenomenon that we still don't know enough about to this very day!
