Patrick Ross' Children are half-human, half-alien hybrids, conceived by Patrick Ross and various women, resulting in their mothers' deaths.
History[]
The first of them to be seen is the son of Marcy. The second son was conceived through Marcy's Sister. He is later seen bringing his children to his family's barn to hide and protect them until they can mature into adults and wipe out the human race. After he has procured a large brood, he begins helping them enter the cocoon stage.
When Preston Lennox, Dennis Gamble and Laura Baker arrive towards the end of the film, they discover the cocoons of Patrick's children and begin poisoning them with Dennis' DNA, killing them in the process.
When Eve is placed inside an ambulance and taken away, one of Patrick's sons is shown alive and not yet cocooned, looking on as Eve begins to go through an accelerated pregnancy with a new offspring.
This is different in Species III when Eve awakens from her supposed death in the previous film and gives birth through her stomach as the boy from the previous film strangles her with his tongue, killing her.
It is later revealed that a few of Patrick's children managed to escape from the barn, cocoon and become adults. However, they were born with weak immune systems, making them vulnerable to common diseases from dust particles and pollen, killing them over time. One of Patrick's sons, Yosef was able to delay this to a degree by consuming human medication, but he had to do this periodically.
His only surviving child is Sara, the daughter of Eve, along with a male created from the salvaged DNA of Patrick's son, Portus, one of the dead hybrids.
History (novelization)[]
Patrick's children are human/alien hybrids created naturally through procreation between Patrick and various women, resulting in the deaths of the mother. The first of them to be seen is the son of the first woman he engaged in sexual activity with. The second son was conceived through the second woman. He is later seen bringing his children to his family's barn to hide and protect them until they mature into adults and wipe out the human race. Once he has procured a large brood, he begins helping them enter the cocoon stage.
When Press, Dennis and Baker arrive towards the end of the film, they discover the cocoons of Patrick's children and begin poisoning them with Dennis' DNA, killing them in the process.
Prior to dying, one cocooned half-breed managed to kill Burgess, who was in the barn to kill Press, Dennis and Baker to prevent the world from knowing what had happened, putting an end to the military man and the last of Patrick's offspring.
Trivia[]
- Only Patrick has been known to produce numerous offspring naturally before his death.
- Only Sara and her mate, created from the salvageable remains of another hybrid, are the only known members of Patrick's offspring alive.
- According to the third film, due to underdeveloped immune systems, the majority of Patrick's children that survived to the third film were vulnerable to even the most common of diseases and non-viral strains, such as pollen from flowers, dust particles, even the common cold. Only Sara, due to being a pure strain of human and alien DNA, was superior to her elder siblings and was immune to common diseases. Later, she had a mate made for her that was also immune to common diseases.
- Based on the second novelization and the third film, Patrick's children all have the ability to extend their tongues to lash out at objects and people.
- One of Patrick's sons had a tiny tentacle protruding from his nose prior to entering the cocoon stage.
- The way how Patrick's half-breed children are born by bursting out of their mothers' bellies are quite similar to the way the Chest-bursters from the Alien franchise (more specifically in Aliens vs Predator: Requiem) do so from their hosts.
- Patrick's children have outlived Sil's son by days and weeks.
- They have also outlived Anne's offspring by this same amount of time.
- In the novelization, Patrick has sons and daughters. In the film, it is difficult to see, but he also has daughters along with his sons.
