                                powerful. They are so large they cannot use crawlspaces 
                                and many of the narrow passages found on human 
                                ships and bases. This does not limit their effectiveness 
                                very much &#150; the Onos is the highest level 
                                response to any threat, requiring large amounts 
                                of resources to gestate, but paying off with truly 
                                awe-inspiring strength.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<a href="alien_onos_name.html">Name</a>]</p>

                                      It's not difficult, from their appearance, 
                                      to imagine the Onos would have bull-like 
                                      charging behavior. Once again the Kharaa 
                                      exceeds the imagination &#150; the Onos 
                                      accelerates its bulk shockingly fast, slamming 
                                      through anything in its path. The effect 
                                      is devastating &#150; a human doesn't even 
                                      slow it down, and it hits metal or machinery 
                                      like a detonation. It cannot maintain this 
                                      speed for long, and seems to only be able 
                                      to charge in a straight line. </p>

                                      As the pinnacles of Kharaa strength and 
                                      power, the Onos must have always been rallying 
                                      points in battle. The so called &quot;primal 
                                      scream&quot; is a bellowing roar that triggers 
                                      a battle fervor in any nearby alien &#150; 
                                      and in the Onos itself. Adrenaline courses 
                                      through their bodies &#150; similar to the 
                                      <a href="alien_evolutions_adrenaline.html">evolution</a>, 
                                      but affecting the entire alien's physiology 
                                      in a much more extreme fashion. They are 
                                      faster, deadlier, and can ignore more damage.</p>
