Race X was discovered by chance by Black Mesa scientists when they opened a rift to another dimension than that of Xen during their portal technology experiments, which lay "Somewhere beyond Xen". However, they were not particularly well adapted to the Borderworld, and, as a result, have never had a notable presence there. They used the Xen teleporter during the later stages of the Black Mesa Incident to bring Sprites from their homeworld to Earth, this suggests they already had some knowledge of Xen prior to the invasion. Their portals are typically purple in color, as opposed to the green-glowing portals seen used by Xen residents, though the significance of this difference in colors have yet to be fully explained.
Race X appears to have mastered teleportation technology, as they can teleport around Black Mesa and have installed at least one Xen crystal-powered teleportation device on Xen. These aliens also have a variety of natural defenses, such as claws, spines, and toxic saliva. Their technology appears almost entirely biological in nature notably, they use living weapons such as the insectoid Shock Roach, In addition, they also use massive anomalous creatures known as Gene Worm(s) to terraform uninhabitable areas for their race. Race X consists of several alien species, varying widely in size and shape. Sprites coming from a Race X Xen crystal-powered portal on Xen.
