I legit can't wait for some interesting avp battles.Having a top tier character that you legitimately like and not just in it for tier purposes?Bruh you just won the game
Wow, good catch on that @Olcadan13!The Praetorian variation is just called "Konjurer". Probably means that the drone is called "Acid" or some dumb shit like that. Still calling them by their caste names
The only reason I continued to use the term Queen/Praetorian for the Egg/Facehugger variation is because it has the ability to lay Egg traps as well as has the Praetorian crown.That's not a queen.
I feel like I post this in every Alien thread, but it'll probably stop once they reveal the variation names.
It's a Praetorian(hive protectors), not a Queen.
Konjurer is one of them, seems to be the egg trap/facehugger variationThat's not a queen.

We might get an early look at the KP2 characters on the next episode of chasing the cup, which is on Monday (Feb 15), since they showed pictures of the characters during the last episode. Tyler also tweeted this a few weeks ago too: https://twitter.com/tylerlansdown/status/692748281340760064u guys think that next Kombat Kast will be friday (13) or sunday (15) ?

So it looks like we can expect to hear some more KP2 news soon.
Possibly. I cant really read it now on mobile but ill check asap. Thanks
They probably just didn't really bother dealing with the extended canon especially considering that most people don't know about it.Wow, good catch on that @Olcadan13!
I wonder why they didn't go with the Xenomorph caste system for the variation names? Maybe they had continuity issues with the traditional Xenomorph caste system with this MKX Alien being part Tarkatan or maybe they just figured most people besides those who know wouldn't understand the Xenomorph caste names.
Dude, a AvP match Oklahoma vs Texas style would be epic I got the Alien part covered. "Alien Hiss" "Alien Scream"...XenoboyzI legit can't wait for some interesting avp battles.
I can see that being the case. Still people know at least part of the Xenomorph caste system because of Aliens and the MKX Alien already has different domes. So I'm sure people would have understood the idea of the Xenomorph caste system being used for MKX Alien's variations on some level.They probably just didn't really bother dealing with the extended canon especially considering that most people don't know about it.
Still would have been better than "Konjurer".
Oh definitely! They really should have done it but considering how easily the extended canon can be thrown out (*cough* Star Wars *cough*) then I can see why they would choose to make their own...I can see that being the case.

Ok so after doing some digging, I think I might have figured out why they decided to name the variation "Konjurer". This might be a long shot and I may be over analyzing things, but just bear with me. When someone uses the term conjuring, most people probably think it's referring to the act of using magic to make something appear. It can also be used to describe the act of summoning a spirit or demon. However, an alternate term that is interchangeable with conjuring is known as evocation. Evocation also involves the summoning of spirits and demons, but it also includes the summoning of supernatural entities as well. What could be considered supernatural? Something that defies the basic laws of physics, and exists beyond the comprehension of nature. An 8 foot tall, acid bleeding monster fits this criteria pretty well imo. Plus the Alien has often been described as an unnatural, demonic creature. The original 'Alien' (1979) film had a lot of subtle religious overtones and themes. The creature's creator, H.R. Giger based the alien's design off of various nightmares that he personally experienced as well. Many of which are documented in Giger's Necronomicon. And on one of the first public screenings of the first alien movie, a large space jockey prop was placed outside the theater to promote the film. However, a religious fanatic lit the display on fire, because he thought the space jockey prop was a sign of the devil. Apparently, demonic spirits in some religions are also regarded as "alien", "unnatural", or "supernatural". Anyway, back to my main point, I think the reason they named the praetorian variation, "Konjurer" is simply because the alien (the conjurer), in this variation, is capable of spawning eggs and summoning (conjuring) other aliens (demons, supernatural entities). I could be completely wrong here though. Either way, I have to admit, at first I thought "Konjurer" was a really strange name for an alien variation, but now that I think about it, NRS is actually pretty clever and creative for coming up with this name.
