The egg is the xenomorph's first stage, and it remains dormant within until the approach of potential prey, possibly by motion, vision or other unknown means. It is unknown exactly how long an egg can remain functional, but it is probably similar to a plant seed and well beyond the life-span of humans. The egg is also very large, being somewhere in the range of 2.5 feet high. The egg has root-like structure so it can gain a strong foothold on surfaces, even hanging from the ceiling. The egg hatches in the manner of flower unfurling its petals, sometimes becoming transparent. The eggs appear to have indefinite lifespans in almost any environment.
