Fix for only single unit pods showing up
There is a missing setting in the original upload that causes Neonate Vipers to only show up in pods of 1 Neonate Viper by itself. It can be pretty easily fixed with .ini changes though. The file XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini has the updates to beef up the Neonate Vipers' stats, but should also have settings for which other enemy types it can group up with. I added a listing for Neonate Viper pod leaders and also added them as possible followers to other units (I copied the regular Viper's allowed lists and added Derelict MECs and Neonate Vipers as possible Neonate Viper followers). Since then, I started a new campaign and have seen Neonate Vipers as part of a mixed pod, and in pods of all Neonate Vipers.

I also tweaked the encounter lists a little, but that is purely optional. The original had them showing up as pod leaders or followers from force level 1 to 7, I changed them to be leaders at 1 through 7 and followers at 1 through 9 (and 1 through 11 as a summon for a chosen with the beastmaster ability). I also slightly lowered their spawn weight to 11, the original had them at 16, which is the same as regular Vipers. Lastly, I added them to CM_MonstersLeaders and CM_MonstersFollowers. I'm not positive, but I think this is related to a sitrep for certain types of aliens -- it normally has Vipers, Faceless, Chryssalids, and Berserkers in this group, so it made sense to me to add Neonate Vipers.

It might be because of that, yeah. You could also try completely exiting XCom and then going back in.
