This seems to be the second stage that the Xenobeasts pass through in their life cycle. Nearly all of the larval aliens will develop into the "noisy cricket" form. During this stage, the hive seems to primarily use them as scouts. And no wonder: they are fast moving, capable of climbing vertical and even inverted surfaces even if they are extremely smooth, and our initial tests indicate that their eyesight is excellent.
They are virtually silent when they move, but when threatened, they emit a high pitched shriek that carries for miles to alert the hive to danger.
During this stage, the fluid-sack that once served to nourish the creature has been converted into a venom-sack, allowing the "Noisy Cricket" to spit a vile poison up to seven feet away.
