Original Alien Stiletto (or Gimlet) used in the Chris Carter created science fiction drama television series "The X-Files" (1993-), where two F.B.I. Agents, Fox Mulder the believer and Dana Scully the skeptic, investigate the strange and unexplained, while hidden forces work to impede their efforts.
An Alien Stiletto (or Gimlet) is a device designed to kill aliens and hybrids by stabbing them in a vulnerable area at the base of the skull. The device is also effective as a stabbing weapon against humans.
When properly inserted at the vulnerable point, the stiletto immediately kills the alien or hybrid, who disintegrates into a puddle of green blood.
In season two, Agent Fox Mulder was informed by a hybrid clone from the Samantha Series that the only way to kill an Alien Bounty Hunter is to stab him at his vulnerable point, at the base of the skull, on the back of the neck. These Aliens' ability to heal their body remarkably fast makes this the only effective way to stop them, as other wounds will not affect them. The stabbing needs to be done on this specific area, and if missed, the Alien will not die. The alien stiletto was thus invented to reach this area successfully, but precision is required, and an inexperienced user may fail to kill the Alien even if the stiletto is inserted there, as Mulder did with a Bounty Hunter pursuing Jeremiah Smith in 1996. Alien-human hybrids can be killed in this fashion as well. A closer look at this vulnerable point was made possible with the ill hybrid child Emily Sim in 1997. The small greenish protuberance was initially thought to be a cyst, and when a nurse inserted a needle into it to perform a biopsy, an abundant flow of caustic green blood was released, making the nurse ill, but leaving Emily unaffected.
