Popper (alien)

Encyclopedia : P : PO : POP : Popper (alien)

The Popper is a small, blue biped lifeform in the computer game [[X-COM: Apocalypse]]. It is basically a self-delivering biological warhead with the sole purpose of charging at an enemy at a high speed and exploding. It is also likely to blow up when hit by piercing weapons, struck by an explosion or shockwave, exposed to open flame, or recovering from stun.

The blast can cause serious injury to humans with basic armour, but is of little concern to those with disruptor technology. The creature is somewhat less dangerous in real-time mode than in turn-based, as the opposition will generally get a better chance to fire at it.
