Male white spike

The White Spike is a quadrupedal carnivore with a distinct white color, possibly due to a lack of skin pigment. Roughly as tall as a man but twice that in length. It has a 'hunched' look to it standing on four legs with its two front arms tucked under its chest. The White Spike also has two tentacle-like limbs which exit the upper rear of its back. It has three toe-like pads on each leg where feet should be and those are equipped with razor sharp claws. Its arms possess two long razor sharp claws which can grasp as well as rend.

It has large rear facing long sharp spikes exiting its back. Its head has a mantle similar to an alien queen and the female queen's mantle is larger than the males with spikes on its trailing edge. Each tentacle ends with a three digit claw surrounded by tufts of long sharp spikes as well. Its forearms are also covered in spikes at the elbow joint. At the ends of each tentacle is a thicker area uses to project long bony spikes at high speed and accuracy.

The face of the White Spike is fear-inducing. Binocular vision from two eyes indicates depth perception. It has a nose plate and a large mouth of sharp teeth which can force outward when biting. It has a strong well-defined jaw suitable for slicing, ripping and pulling apart its prey.

White Spikes are capable of surviving in any climate, including in vacuum and underwater. At top speed, they run at between 40-80 kilometers per hour and are capable or overturning light armored vehicles by body slamming them at high speeds. White spikes commonly attack their prey in groups although sometimes individual white spikes may attack their lone prey if they fall into their trap. The white spikes are able to call for help in means to attack and kill their prey if it can fight back.

The White Spike also has two tentacle-like limbs which exit the upper rear of its back. It has three toe-like pads on each leg where feet should be and those are equipped with razor sharp claws. Its arms possess two long razor sharp claws which can grasp as well as rend. Incredibly aggressive – their only motivation is to feed. Their entire physiology is designed to kill, suggesting they may have been bioengineered as a weapon. As well as multiple limbs they have two tentacle-like appendages that shoot white bony spines – giving them their name. They have two eyes located on top and to the side of their head, giving them a wide field of vision, unusual for a carnivore, and are capable of night vision. Their armor plating covers most of the White Spike's body except the neck, tentacles, legs and underbelly. White Spikes are capable of surviving in any climate, including in vacuum and underwater. At top speed, they run at between 40-80 kilometers per hour and are capable or overturning light armored vehicles by body slamming them at high speeds.

It is surmised the White Spikes are a type of alien biological weapon used by unknown aliens to clear planets of life. The rampaging swarms of White Spikes are merely acting naturally to their purpose. Dan made two more crucial discoveries in Russia: the Whitespikes crashed on Earth centuries ago and they didn't arrive alone. The Whitespikes were actually cargo being transported by another alien race that appears more humanoid and possess a higher intelligence than the savage, monstrous Whitespikes. The White Spikes are (presumably) an alien bioweapon created by an advanced species capable of interstellar travel, whose ship carrying them crashed on Earth into the Russian tundra in 946 AD, and laid buried underneath the ice for over a thousand years, before emerging in 2048 and within 3 short years,

White Spikes will create hives wherever possible for reproduction and feeding. A sign of a new nest are still-fresh bodies strung to walls and ceilings of a cave or skyscraper by a sticky, dense web-like substanceDan made two more crucial discoveries in Russia: the Whitespikes crashed on Earth centuries ago and they didn't arrive alone.

This means that the aliens crashed on Earth more than a thousand years ago, and the Whitespikes have lain dormant in the ice since then. The emergence of the Whitespikes is the result of climate change and the melting of the polar ice caps, which by 2048 had uncovered the crashed ship in Northern Russia.

Powers and Abilities The White Spike possesses the following powers and abilities:

Powerful jaws with razor sharp teeth High velocity spike projectiles Wall climbing ability like a gecko Fast attack speed and stamina Leaping attack Strength and durability Clawing, rending and throwing Hive minded Cunning predator intelligence Swarming Fast swimming Jumping and gliding Battle roar Terrifying appearance Queens seek revenge and will pursue their subjects Carnivorous predatory instinct Fate Many White Spikes are killed during the battles shown but they are all killed in the past when Dorian blows up their crashed ship.

The queen is killed when Dan Forrester forces a vial of toxin down her throat and she falls to her death, melting, off the edge of an icy cliff.

During the year 2048, White Spikes started to systematically wipe out Earth's indigenous population. From an unknown landing site in Northern Russia the reduced our planet's population to a mere 500,000 survivors who remain under attack. In a last ditch effort to save the human race from extinction a time portal (The 'Jumplink') is created which allows the meager forces to be reinforced by people in the past, for 7 days then any who survive are returned to the past automatically.

The film's current survivors band together to find and kill the White Spike invasion before it starts. A crashed alien ship is located in the Northern Russia glacier. Believing this hostile force was an act of intelligent aggression turns out to be a misfortunate alien transport ship which crashed in the past and the White spikes merely thawed out and escaped.

It is surmised the White Spikes are a type of alien biological weapon used by unknown aliens to clear planets of life. The rampaging swarms of White Spikes are merely acting naturally to their purpose. Led by a queen, the hostile force is made up of males. They communicate with her and when she is captured, they come to her rescue.

These alien monsters are cunning, fast and deadly. Not only are they lethal alone they swarm and attack with heavy carnage. While they can run swim and jump, they can't fly. They will however, climb each other to attack low flying aircraft and scale high walls.

Visual effects supervisor James Price and creature designer Ken Barthelmey worked together to bring the menace to life. “We ultimately landed on a creature that had so many different ways of being lethal. It had jaws, arms, tentacles, and it shot spikes. It was agile and quick.” Source: Variety.com
