Xenomorph and acid blood
what are the mechanics to create a power like that of the Xenomorph in the movie "Alien" whereby when he was injured he spewed sulfuric acid? Thanks for the reply

Re: Xenomorph and acid blood
Well, I didn't exactly build that, but in GURPS Powers: The Weird, I had a suite of powers based on hyperacidity. I defined Cosmic, Intensified corrosion as reducing DR by 1 point per 1 point of basic damage inflicted, and as worth +200%.
How to have it spray out is tricky. At a guess, give it a limitation: Trigger, must suffer cutting, piercing, or impaling damage, -20%. Maybe make it a Jet with quite limited range.

Re: Xenomorph and acid blood
Blood Agent, Reversed is the canonical way to do something like this, found on page 100 of GURPS Powers and later on page 12 of GURPS Power Ups 8: Limitations. To have the acidic blood spray on the attacker automatically, combine this with Aura.

For xenomorphs, though, I would also suggest that their blood be treated as a Cosmic version of corrosive attack. It's not described in the movie as "sulfuric acid" but as "molecular acid," composition unspecified, and it's cinematically potent, more so than real sulfuric acid would be.
