Description:	A new Xenomorph that runs across the ceiling for anybody out there building Aliens conversions, that replaces the Baron of Hell. There is another one I've seen that does the ceiling thing, but that one is kind of lame and doesn't have very good action at all. This guy was made from a regular ground dwelling dude from one of the other patches and redrawn a bit for life running across the ceiling. I had to squish him up a bit and redraw some of the tails and arms and stuff, and do a little rearranging of the pictures to give it a realistic crawling motion, with a violent, tail whipping, teeth gnashing attitude, but the final result was well worth it;}

Anonymous	.. "ten years later" I meant to say. I can't find anything on the internet about John Diamond's band, Grievence, or their CD. Perhaps they got married and split up, or changed the name to Grievance or something.	x
Anonymous	It's none too impressive ten years ago. Basically it's a poorly-drawn cockroach with very little detail that scuttles along the ceiling (and wouldn't work very well in outdoors areas). Also, it couldn't have been too hard to credit "whomever made the original xenomorph sprites which I modified".	x

Description             : A new Xenomorph that runs across the ceiling
                          for anybody out there building Aliens conversions,
                          that replaces the Baron of Hell.  There is another
                          one I've seen that does the ceiling thing, but that
                          one is kind of lame and doesn't have very good 
                          action at all.  This guy was made from a regular
                          ground dwelling dude from one of the other patches
                          and redrawn a bit for life running across the 
                          ceiling.  I had to squish him up a bit and redraw
                          some of the tails and arms and stuff, and do a 
                          little rearranging of the pictures to give it a
                          realistic crawling motion, with a violent, tail
                          whipping, teeth gnashing attitude, but the final
                          result was well worth it;}

Installation:             Well, if you are using this for a future Aliens
                          conversion, then you probably already know how to
                          use deutex to install this patch.  There is also
                          a DEH file which needs to be installed using 
                          Dehacked by Greg Lewis, so if you don't know how
                          to use these then I suggest downloading them and
                          maybe checking out the README files that come with
                          them.

Additional Credits to   : id for making DOOM and DOOMII, anybody who has
                          done Aliens conversions (they rule!) and whomever
                          made the original xenomorph sprites which I 
                          modified. Anybody who made any of the editing tools
                          I have used(Deutex, Dehacked, DETH)
