ALL Xenomorphs Explained

Hey guys, Croft is here for the last 40 years, we've seen many versions of the xenomorph monster in alien video game sequels, comics, and the crossover with the Predator franchise. In fact, the alien universe has a large number of types of

xenomorphs

that are often drastically different. different from the original alien, so in today's video I'll explain each version of xenomorph, including really weird hybrids and comic book extremes you probably haven't heard of. I'll focus on explaining more popular movie variations since we have more information about them. However, I'll also explain lesser-known but really interesting variants of the alien lore.

The omo worf is the first alien life form we encounter in the original 1979 alien, often referred to as the alien egg. It is a separate organism containing a fully developed body. Alien Hugger Eggs are extremely resistant to all types of physical and thermal damage, as their purpose is to preserve a Facehugger and release it once they detect a nearby life form. Nearby alien eggs are produced by alien queens; However, the origin of the eggs in the starry giant is still unknown. unknown, it is also worth mentioning the Alien Covenant egg sacs which, like supermorphoses, initiate the creation of an alien organism.

The egg sacs appear to be the result of a plant mutation with the pathogen transmitted by David. The plant releases small pores that grow inside a host. In the neomorph, an interesting type of xenomorph that we will discuss later in the video, the facehugger is a parasitoid organism that hatches from an alien egg. Facehuggers are extremely fast and agile and their purpose is to neutralize a host by attaching to their head and then impregnating them with an alien embryo that will eventually become a chest destroyer and then a xenomorph. A particular variation of that creature is the Alien 3 Royal Face Hugger which has the ability to place an alien queen embryo inside a host, the Octophase Hugger. is a xenomorphic organism that was cut from Prometheus in the initial script.

This organism was supposed to impregnate Holloway with the xenomorph beluga, which we'll get to in a moment. This concept was rejected and instead, David infected Holloway with the black goo which caused a Chain of Mutations leading to the Deacon based on ancient scripts. The Octophase Hugger was supposed to be an early version of the Xenomorph Face Hugger which was later modified by engineers to become a biological weapon. The fishbuster is not a separate organism but rather a baby. form of the xenomorph species that grows inside a host and then bursts through its chest after the gruesome apparition that kills a host.

Chess Hunters grow into an adult xenomorph within a few hours. The xenomorph or xx121 is the iconic monster that first appeared in Alien of. 1979 is a highly aggressive and vicious predator with no other goal than the reproduction of its species and the destruction of any life form it encounters, much like bees. Xenomorphs are hive creatures that are separated into molds and can only reproduce with an alien queen. Xenomorphs have acid. internal blood jaws and blade-tipped tails, making them ferocious and deadly creatures. The original xenomorph is sometimes known as a drone soldier or warrior and in several films appears with a slightly different skull shape that reflects the xenomorph's maturity. xx121 is a xenomorph spawned from humans.

However, in alien lore,

xenomorphs

were spawned from a wide variety of hosts that inherited parts of their DNA, resulting in a few different types of xenomorphs that we will see in the comics. The animal hosts spawned some exotic xenomorphs such as the bull alien. the gorilla alien the rhinoceros alien the mantis alien and the crocodile alien which is one of the largest types of xenomorphs there are also the anti-man xenomorphs which are four human animal hybrids created by dr. neil rainstott in alien 3 we can see the runner also known as the alien dog or the explorer, which is a xenomorph generated from a quadruped animal, the runners are smaller than the original xenomorphs, but they are faster and more agile and can spit mouth acid, the xenomorph jockey is another alien variant generated by an engineer in the alien.

From 1979 we can see that the pilot's fossilized suit broke inside so the creature that came from this space jockey was never seen and this aspect remains un

explained

, however a comic and a video game that takes place in a different setting shows the xenomorph jockey generated from a host engineer, on top of that, another version of the xenomorph jockey was supposed to be in Prometheus, but the concept was eventually dropped and I'll explain this type of cinema later in the video. The colonial marines game crusher is a setting. six xenomorph that possesses a large plume and is capable of inflicting a large amount of damage.

The Praetorian also known as the Royal Guard is the final stage of the xenomorph cycle. The royal guards have a large, durable grass that resembles a queen due to its size and their main purpose is to protect the hive and the queen, the rogue or alien king is a human xenomorph hybrid created to be a domesticated equivalent of a alien queen who could obey human orders and control other xenomorphs, however, the rogue turned out to be extremely hostile to the original xenomorphs and went on a rampage at the base of the cairn, destroying the hive and engaging in a battle with an alien queen.

The White Hybrid is a type of xenomorph from the comics created by a faulty AI that combined the DNA of humans possessed by the Xenomorphs and the White Yautja Hybrids. a high level of intelligence and are able to speak and use tools and weapons. The specter is a xenomorph of unknown origin found on a ship designed to swim. Aliens are xenomorphs that live primarily in aquatic environments, as their name implies, similar to subterranean xenomorphs. which are capable of digging underground tunnels, the predelion is another popular variation that is a hybrid of yaocha and xenomorphs that appears in AVP films, comics, and video games.

This type of xenomorph is spawned from a predatory host and has characteristics of both species, including acid-blooded dreadlocks and jawed predaliens possess greater physical strength compared to xenomorphs and, as a result, are also significantly taller than two other species and are dedicated to trophy hunting. The Berserker Alien is a Xenomorph spawned from a Super Predator, making this Predalien one of the most hostile types of Xenomorphs with extreme strength, agility, and durability alien games feature some interesting variants, such as the Matriarch and the Ancient alien queen, the alien dragon from alien extermination arcade game and the giant xenomorph from alien armageddon arcade game.

The king is one of the largest forms of the xenomorph species that is extremely durable and aggressive, although the exact purpose and origin of the king is unknown, this creature appears to be a combat version of an alien queen and possesses two additional sharp tails. on each side before we get to the non-canon xenomorphs and different types of alien queens let's explore xenomorphs that appear in prometheus in alien covenant the hammer is the result of extraterrestrial heat exposure to the pathogen in lv223 the beluga xenomorph also called hollow alien is a xenomorph that was supposed to spawn from hollow after being impregnated by an octa facehugger in the engineer's temple, this concept was removed from the script due to the similarity to the events in 1979's alien, the trilobite is a similar creature to an octopus that was the result of Holloway transmitting the pathogen to Elizabeth Shaw, which led to a trilobite embryo growing inside Elizabeth's uterus, the trilobite grew extremely quickly reaching its full size in less than a day so As far as we know, its main purpose was to fertilize a host with a deacon embryo.

The deacon is a dark blue xenomorph-like creature that was the result of the trilobite impregnating the engineer, we don't know much about it, however according to the mural in temple lv223, engineers used to worship deacons or perhaps a non-violent, more sensitive version of them that existed a long time ago. the ultramorph is a jockey xenomorph that was supposed to be spawned by the engineer instead of the deacon. This creature is extremely tall and possesses some of the characteristics of the Engineer's biosuits. It is very likely that this ultramorph was originally supposed to lay eggs in the crashed vehicle. ship that would be the giant in 1979's Alien, therefore bringing the alien story full circle, however, the ultramorph was removed from Prometheus probably because the producers decided to go in a different direction.

The Prometheus sequel Alien Covenant features two other types of xenomorphs found on the planet. Four, the neomorph is a xenomorph-type creature spawned from a host that was infected by the exact spores, as the plants on planet 4 were exposed to the pathogen, their seeds carried some version of the xenomorph's DNA as a result, when The spores penetrate the living body just as facehuggers are genetically programmed to use the host's resources to become neomorphs due to the mutation of the pathogen with the flora of planet four. The resulting neomorph has some distinctive features, such as pale gray skin, a cone-shaped head, and non-acidic blood.

Protomorph was a xenomorph variant created by David through experimentation with the black sticky creatures of Planet 4 and possibly Shaw's body parts in the Alien Covenant novelization. David

explained

that he found the fossilized alien egg on Planet 4 and tried to replicate it. The result was the protomorph eggs which led to the emergence of the protomorph, which is extremely similar to the xenomorph as David used the pathogen containing the xenomorph's DNA; However, the protomorphs lack the biomechanical features of the original xenomorph and the theory is that David will have to use himself as a host to perfect the creation of it, giving the resulting alien these mechanical elements.

The next type is the alien queen, who is the mother of all xenomorphs in a hive. Alien queens are extremely large compared to xenomorphs, with a huge crest on their head, extra limbs, and extra spikes on the spine queen. The main purpose of the spine queen is to lay xenomorph eggs, however, they can also engage in combat. if required. Additionally, the alien queens can communicate with the xenomorphs in their hive over great distances and control their behavior, although the method of communication remains unknown. Additionally, they appear in the comics. the queen mother, who is an alien queen who has control over other regular queens, making her the supreme force in the xenomorph hierarchy.

The Red Queen Mother is another type of alien queen who led the Red Xenomorph Rebellion to overthrow the Queen Mother, the Red Xenomorph. was a mutated hybrid variant of regular xenomorphs that opposed the queen mother and turned against the original black variants that led to the red xenomorph rebellion I just mentioned. Ripley 8 is the eighth successful clone of Ellen Ripley that was grown in a laboratory from a blood sample. In Alien Resurrection, the scientists were trying to restore the xenomorph DNA using the blood sample of Ellen Ripley, who had an alien queen embryo inside her before she died, the scientists were unable to separate the DNA of Ripley and the xenomorph queen, so the only way to get the alien queen.

What was his main goal was to clone Ellen Ripley and the result of the cloning was a human xenomorph hybrid Ripley 8. Therefore, Ripley 8 is technically a xenomorph and in the film he displays many xenomorph characteristics, such as increased strength and speed, acidic blood and the ability to communicate with other xenomorphs the cloned queen is a xenomorph queen obtained through the cloning of ellen ripley just like the original ellen ripley ripley 8 had an alien queen embryo inside her that was extracted from safely and used to produce xenomorphs for military experiments the newborn is a xenomorph that was created by the cloned queen just like Ripley 8 inherited some of the xenomorph's DNA.

The cloned queen also collected part of the human genome during the cloning process, as a result, she developed the second reproductive system and gave birth to the newborn xenomorph. through a womb without the regular omomorph and facehugger cycle, the newborn's appearance is extremely different from other xenomorphs as the creature had a large portion of its DNA fromripley, the newborn had a bipedal posture, pale white skin and superior strength, furthermore, the creature was also considered ripley 8 is its real mother instead of the cloned queen, lastly, i am going to explain the really unusual non-canons, the number of types that appear in crossovers with other franchises, the hybrid, also known as the beast, is a human xenomorph variant with some humanoid characteristics.

Appearing in the comic book adaptation of the unproduced script of Alien 3, the Flying Queen is a xenomorph queen with a large pair of wings who appears in various comics and video games that are mostly considered non-canon, the Xenomorph Killer Crocodile, a hybrid of batman's alien crossover the tarkitan presents the three-headed xenomorph-type alien of unknown origin that has three independent heads and extremely different colors finally, to complete the list of all known xenomorphs, I am going to briefly mention different variants of the 1990 arcade game the chrysalis a pardelian hybrid the defender the egg shaped alien the star faced alien the electric helion the infectoid razor claws the destroyer the armored xenomorph the walled alien the long necked alien and the arachnoid here you go guys that was the full list of everyone the types of xenomorphs that exist so far in the alien universe that I tried Includes all versions, but if there is something I missed, definitely let me know in the comments section.
