The Egg Beginning Of The Xenomorph's Cycle
The first hint of the Xenomorph is seen in Alien when the crew of the Nostormos comes across an eerie field of eggs while investigating a mysterious beacon. While not fully developed,the egg stage in a Xenomorph life cycle, also known as the Ovomorph, is actually the most important. It is through the laying of these eggs that the species has been able to grow and spread their brutal reign of terror across the cosmos. The Ovomorph has appeared in virtually every entry in the Alien franchise, e...
The Xenomorph Carrier
The Facehugger first appears in Alienand is the creature that emerges from inside of the egg. It is a crab-like creature with legs as well as a tail. The Facehugger attaches itself to a host by latching onto its face and wrapping its tail around the airway. Once it has done this, it implants the Xenomorph embryo into the host's airway. Facehuggers have been shown to claim humans, Predators, animals, and Space Jockeys as their hosts, which has led to a wide variety of Xenomorph offspring. When...
An Armored Xenomorph Carrier
The Royal Facehugger has only appeared once on-screen in the Special Edition of Alien 3, as it was removed from the film's cinematic release, but it has also appeared in some comics. The Royal Facehugger has the same behaviors as a regular Facehugger, except it is physically larger and protected by stronger armor. This is becausethe Royal Facehugger carries the embryo of a Xenomorph Queen, an essential part of the continuation of the species. Given how difficult it is to deal with normal Face...
The "Hatched" Xenomorph
Kane became the first victim in the Alien franchise when the world was introduced to the Chestburster. After implantation of the Xenomorph embryo, the Chestburster grows inside the host's chest cavity, pushing and chewing its way out. While it's not a fully-grown xenomorph, the Chestburster is perhaps one of the most iconic incarnations of the terrifying monster in all the Alien movies, as the scene in the 1979 original when one first explodes out of its victim was also when audiences first l...
The Most Common Xenomorphs
The Drone Xenomorph was first seen in Alien and is considered to be the young-adult stage of the Xenomorph life cycle. For all intents and purposes, Drones can be thought of as the standard Xenomorph, and it's this version of the creature that most picture when imagining them. This is the version of the Xenomorph that stalks the crew of the Nostromos and ends up killing all of them except for Ellen Ripley. It is the most iconic variation of the Xenomorph and has also appeared in games such as...
The Combat Xenomorphs
In James Cameron's action-packed sequel, Aliens, the Xenomorphs returned but with a slightly different look and mannerisms. Unlike the lone Xenomorph Drone from Alien, these hunted in groups and became known as Warriors. Their skulls are typically more ridged, unlike the Drones, and they are also faster and more agile. They have also been shown to burst when they are killed, drenching their attacker in acid. Much like the Drones, the Warrior Xenomorphs are large in numbers and used to spread...
The Xenomorph Breeder
The Queen Xenomorph first appeared in James Cameron's Aliens and is considered one of the deadliest Xenomorph variants. Standing around 15 to 20 feet tall, the Xenomorph Queen is the leader of the hive and responsible for laying the eggs in the Alien sequels. The introduction of this type of Xenomorph showed just how dangerous this alien species is as it was hellbent on spreading its numbers across the galaxy as effectively as possible. Despite being the largest threat, the Queen typically sp...
A Dog-Like Xenomorph
The Runner first appears in Alien 3 after a quadrupedal animal falls victim to a Facehugger. In the second sequel to Alien, it is a dog who is overtaken by this new type of Xenomorph eventually bursting from the canine's chest and taking on some of its traits. Alien 3is often maligned as a failed entry in the genre. However, it does introduce some interesting new ideas, such as being the first to reveal that Xenomorphs are influenced by the the organisms they grow inside. The Runner is widely...
A Ripley-Xenomorph Hybrid
The Newborn is the first hybrid of the Alien series that resulted from a genetic mutation where it was an offspring of Ripley 8 and a cloned Xenomorph Queen on the Auriga in Alien: Resurrection. It is a sign of the dangerous experimentation that humans did with the Xenomorphs. The Newborn was shown to be stronger than a Xenomorph Queen, which it killed shortly after its birth, and considered the cloned Ripley to be its mother. The Newborn was incredibly large, and unlike other types of Xenomo...
An Octopus-Like Xenomorph
While there has not been an explanation as to how the Trilobite is related to the classic Xenomorphs seen in the Alien franchise, it shares similar behaviors to that of the Facehugger. Appearing in Prometheus, the Trilobite first appears after the black goo infects Charlie Holloway on LV-223, which causes him to impregnate Elizabeth Shaw with the creature after they engage in intercourse. Shaw manages to remove the Trilobite, but it appears later on in the film as a giant, Octopus-like beast...
