I met a CMDR last year who's Grandfather had fought the Thargoid war. Unfortunately the lad had passed away years ago but he had left behind recordings of his memories in audio logs. My Friend had me listen to one in particular in which his grandfather describes his encounter with a thargoid. At the time I dismissed the account, but in light of recent events I asked my friend to send me a copy of the log and I attempted to recreate visually what he saw.
For context, his grandfather had conducted a ground attack on a distant ammonia world. There was a thargoid outpost there that he and his fleet (he was a federation pilote at the time) were tasked to level. As they were scouting the insides of the base on foot to check for sings of life (which there usually wasn't any of, after the "standard treatment"), the ceiling opened to let what appeared to be a wounded thargoid out. The poor thing didn't live long of course. The old man said it had some sort of parasite on one of its limbs that seemed to be repairing it...
Anyway, here is the face of the new threat, as best as I could represent it.
