They grab the colonists, they move them over there and they immobilize them to be hosts for more of these. Which would mean that there would have to be a lot of these parasites, right? One for each colonist..."

Talking of "stupid things that I have on my desk", this is the only thing that vies with "Captain Cash and Rocket Lad"¹ for favourite thing on my desk.
I make no bones about really not caring for japanimation. (This is a learned distaste, caused by its icky community. Once I saw certain things held up as positive I couldn't unsee them and it tarnished the whole medium as a result.) And of all the japanimation things, I think I loathe Pokemon the most. Not because it's especially egregious. (I mean it's at least not tentacle porn?) Because it's omnipresent. You can't go anywhere without having them polluting your eyes.
Thankfully I have an SO who agrees.
So when I stumbled over this figurine of the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise merged with Pikachu from Pokemon, I instantly thought of SO and bought it to surprise him with it.
Only...
It was REALLY cute and funny. So I decided it was mine. Now it sits on my desk next to "Captain Cash and Rocket Lad" and I really can't decide which I prefer.
"All right, sweethearts, you're a team and there's nothin' to worry about. We come here, and we gonna conquer, and we gonna kick some, is that understood? That's what we gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some."

I was challenged to paint up a Tyranid inspired by the Xenomorph from Alien, I felt it needed something a bit more than just painting black and some drybrushing.
Still out here trying to do my part to help. I've put some pieces from my inventory up for auction on Nerdcrawler. Proceeds will go to the Maui Strong Fund. Auctions end Aug 31.
