User blog:GSFB/Olog-Hai vs Xenomorphs

Who is Deadliest?
STATS:

Edges:
Intelligence:

Olog-Hai Trolls are the einsteins of the Troll world, having the same intelligence and craftiness as the orcs! They are highly skilled in combat and can match humans in brainpower. Meanwhile, Xenomorph drones are, despite some smarts, otherwise very dumb. In most, if not all films, they never think to utilize human weaponry or control computers, which shows them to have sub-human intelligence.

EDGE: Olog-Hai!

Weaponry:

Olog-Hai have the advantage here in having steel arms. While the Xenomorph carapace is tough, it is still subseptible to weapons that cut like steel, as shown in AVP movies (the metal utilized by the Predators is lightwieght, yet can cut as efficiently as steel, as Predator 2 shows). With short range weapons, the claws and teeth of the Xenomorph will have the advantage in not dissolving if it bites the Troll, spilling blood; if the troll claws or bites the Xenomorph, flesh will go. However, the Troll will have a spiked mace and a steel helmet for head buting, both of which will overcome any advantage a fanged doublemouth could provide! In the mid range department, the Xenomorph tail, with its poison tip and super strength is pinned against a massive blade that can cut it in half with one swipe: Nuff said there. The Xenomorphs have the advantage in having a projectile weapon (acid spit), but the Olog-Hai is well armored and naturally tough; its going to take a lot more than spittle to knocked down the stone clad Goliaths! The Olog-Hai's black shield will make an effecive clubbing weapon here, but I doubt it can withstand he Xenomorph acidic blood or spittle, but it could help. Nevertheless, the Xenomorph has the advantage in the special weapons category.

EDGE: Olog-Hai

Tactics:

Olog-Hai are the charge into the fray type of fighter, excelling in conventional combat. But the Xenomorphs are unconventional, knowing how to blend into darkness and hit from the shadows. They would make perfect footsoldiers for the protection of Mordor, which is quite dim

EDGE: Xenomorphs

Size and strength:

The Olog-Hai far outdistance their opponents in size and strength, outweighing them by a considerable sum. Being far larger and far stronger, the Xenomorphs have no chance

EDGE: Olog-Hai

Mentality:

Xenomorphs have no experience of fear; however, they evoke it in others. Olog-Hai do this as well, but they can experience fear, such as of other trolls, far larger opponents (like ents and Mumakil/Oliphaunts) and Sauron himself.
