Alien Container are recurring obstacles in the Chicken Invaders franchise, debuting in Ultimate Omelette. They were made by an unknown alien race and they contain up to four Satellites (depending on the amount of players).
They are cube metal containers, resembling a safe. Their design, unlike other metal objects, wasn't changed in Cluck of the Dark Side. Every 20% of their health depleted, they break more and more.
The Christmas edition for Ultimate Omelette turns them into huge Gifts, while the one for Cluck of the Dark Side turns them into bags. The Easter edition turns them into chocolate eggs with a green ribbon wrapped around them. The Thanksgiving edition turns them into huge pumpkins. The Halloween edition turns them into gravestones.
Encounters
Ultimate Omelette
The Alien Containers appear a total of 13 times in this game, in Waves X9 (except for the Lost in Space... and Time! chapter), and in Chicken Fortification (Wave 55 and 115) waves. Most of the time they appear by themselves (except for Wave 79 which has Supernova Debris along with it, and the Chicken Fortification waves). In Wave 109, two Alien Containers spawn at once and Wave 119 three spawn. They have 4500 + Chapter * 500 health, and they always give 10000 points. In Waves X9 the Alien Containers stay onscreen for a predetermined amount of time before leaving and in Chicken Fortification waves they stay for as long as the enemies in those waves are alive (excluding Barriers). They are weak to Boron Railgun, Utensil Poker, and Microgun. They are strong against Bird-Flu Gun.
Cluck of the Dark Side
The Alien Containers appear a total of 11 times in this game, in Waves X5 that aren't in planet chapters (except for Earth), and in Wave 109 and 119. This time around, they're always near obstacles, such as Barriers or Chickens. In Wave 105 and 109 two spawn at once and Wave 119 four spawn. Just like in Ultimate Omelette, they have 4500 + Chapter * 500 health, and they always give 10000 points. In Waves X5 (except for Earth) the Alien Containers stay onscreen for a predetermined amount of time before leaving. In the other waves they appear in, they stay onscreen forever until you destroy them. In this game, they're also weak to Riddler and strong against Corn Shotgun.
