The Genetic Nightmare Of The Xenomorphs | Sci Fi Bestiary

Ойын-сауық

Despite multiple attempts to explain the origin of the creature known as the Xenomorph, its true origin remains shrouded in mystery, though its presence has been known and felt across the galaxy as an apex predator, and the ultimate challenge for any species that considers itself above or more advanced than the species.
With a cunning intelligence, and overtly aggressive behaviour, the Xenomorph is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous alien creatures in the deep void of space. With acidic blood, incredible adaptability and a hard coded instinct to preserve the hive, a Xenomorph is born to not only to survive - but to thrive - across generations, with the ovomorphs capable of waiting in situ for a new host to stumble across them for an indefinite amount of time.
Happy Alien Day 2024!

    "In space, no one can hear you scream." I'd still scream, a lot.

    Good thing humanity isn't alone in their struggle against the Xenomorphs. If only humans and Yautja weren't so hostile, and if only the Yautja didn't have their suicide things if they fail or veer off of their missions

    So, in the comics and games at least, Drones and Warriors could evolve into Queens over time if there was no queen present. There was also a stage between a Warrior and Queen, called a Praetorian, that was thought to be an immature Queen that served as her protectors in especially large and well established hives

    Boy, Prometheus and Alien Covenant really ruined the awesome, terrifying mystery of the Xenomorph. Oh hey, they were designed by a psycho android, I guess? And that huge terrifying derelict ship full of eggs from Alien was only sent out a few years prior to when that movie took place? No. I refuse to accept that. I'm sorry Ridley Scott, I respect you as a director, but you ruined your own movie with that nonsense. Over-explaining everything is the death of the incredible cosmic horror you created there. The whole reason it was scary is because we DIDN'T know!!! Arrgh.

    Yes I thought I should acknowledge that.. but very quickly move past it! I think there is an argument to say that David simply re-invented them based on the artwork in the Black Goo room in Prometheus.. but yeah. Excited to see what Romulus brings!
