Here is my understanding of the Xeno in this game:
Red Zorga: Bonus to movement, 6MP ships. Very fast spread. Have a good chance of completely covering any map they are on. Dangerous when alone, but can paradoxically help on maps with many enemies, since their spread can isolate the other xeno. So once you beat the RZ, the other aliens are fairly weak.
Sidtax: Bonus to world killer assaults (at least, that's what I assume is meant by "occupation leaves few survivors").
Nyktos: Bonus radiation damage.
Jyeeta: Slow spread, heavily armored ships which require powerful weapons to defeat the armor soak, especially in the later levels.
Xytox: Bonus morale damage when a morale hit is taken.
Bollish: Bonus to missile and gunship construction (similar to Alta Mesa).
Krangg: Bonus to hyperwarp attacks.
Zynga: Fast spread, but ships are not as fast as Red Zorga.
Xebolits: Tutorial mission easy mode aliens.
Terrox: Listed as among the most common xeno in the description, but they are difficult to encounter in ST4X. The description says they are 'tenacious in defense of their worlds', which implies
a bonus against invasion attacks, or perhaps that their AI is defensive. They spread extremely slowly. When playing on Rim 100x100 (60 worlds) they held 4 worlds for 8 years, despite there being at least one colonizable star right next to their worlds.
Dark Terrox: Haven't encountered in 4x. Description on Steam: "Little is known about the Dark Terrox. Once they are aware of Faction settlements, they will attack without mercy or warning."
According to a discord chat with the developers, Terrox and Dark Terrox appear on the following maps:
"Degla: 48x64 Map (32 Worlds)"
"Degla: 100x100 Map (112 Worlds)"
"The Rim: 64x64 Map (64 Worlds)"
"The Rim: 100x100 Map (60 Worlds)"
I can confirm Terrox appear on Rim 100x100. However, I have not encountered Dark Terrox on these maps. I haven't encountered the Dark Terrox since 2014, in fact. I play on Android.
Respectfully,
