Class AlienOfAggression
-----------------------

The class AlienOfAggression is a classic Alien that is by default friendly;
after spawning it grows from a chestburster in a few seconds, then turns
and hisses at you to remind you that it is after all an A L I E N and not
to trifled with; finally, it scuttles off to attack your enemies!

This looks really good in a resurrection spell; after using the Heal state
to resurrect a dead monster, the healing actor can immediately kill the
resurrectee with gib death and spawn an alien at the same place; it looks
in-game as if the resurrectee has been chestbursted!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The graphics are 24-bit PNG, so the class can be used in Heretic and HeXen
if required; however, it is primarily intended for Doom and Doom II.

This class is intended as a component for use in larger works, but you can
summon one at the GZDoom console to try it in-game.
