The following information has been declassified in the interest of public safety.
The Krixor, or more formally the Krixor Tyrannus (nicknamed Bugs, Krix and Crickets among other things) are a hyperviolent xenomorph species of unknown origin.
Suspected to be from outside the Milky Way, the Krixor are so well developed as an apex predator species that scientists theorize they may be a genetically modified species. Their intelligence is at least on par with Terran primates and dolphins. While they are not tool users they show incredible ingenuity in capturing their prey. They work equally well in teams as solo, adapting from frontal swarm attacks to stealthy lone ambushes with ease. Tactically they quickly adapt to their environment as well as the defenses of their prey. While they show no signs of fear they are not always reckless and do not blindly rush towards obvious dangers in most cases. They appear to communicate vocally through a chittering language that so far has been untranslatable and it is believed there may be a pheromone or telepathic aspect in addition to their vocalizations. They have shown no evidence of a written language. The metabolism of the Krixor is incredibly adaptable, allowing them to survive long periods without sustenance when required however when large quantities of food is consumed their speed and aggressiveness increases phenomenally. Their appetite is voracious, consuming almost all biological matter. They are incredibly resistant to environmental extremes, radiation and toxins. The hard exoskeleton carapace creates not just formidable armor but their remarkably strong limbs are deadly weapons, the tips of which can easily penetrate hardened steel. With numerous ocular organs it is believed they see various spectrums including thermal.
It is theorized that they may be a caste species with worker, soldier and queen castes however so far only one adult caste has been documented. Witnesses have recorded images of what are believed to be young Krixor and the eggs from which they have emerged. Whether these eggs have been laid by the documented Krixor or some so far unseen queen is unknown.
The Krixor so far have only rarely been encountered and in small numbers, while incredibly dangerous, it is believed they can be managed. However, should an infestation reach sufficient size it would become an existential threat to all life in the target environment up to and including causing an extinction level event on a habitable planet.
Contact with Krixor should be avoided. Do not attempt to communicate with them. At all costs not allow yourself or others to be taken captive by them. Report all suspected Krixor sightings to your local authorities immediately.
Further information, including information on the current location of known Krixor infestations, is classified.
