Facehugger |
|
|
After hatching from the egg, the creature has the rough appearance of a large tan crab, minus the claws, with a tail resembling a human vertebral column. In this form, the alien's purpose is to find an appropriate host in which to lay an embryo.
When an appropriate host has been found, the facehugger, as its name implies, attempts to grab onto its victim's head. Once attached, it renders the victim unconscious by choking it with its tail and glues its legs in a locked position, after which it keeps the host in a comatose-like state. An implantation tube is inserted into the victim via the throat, through which it is fed oxygen, nutrients, possibly sedatives and parasitic zygote is implanted into the chest cavity. Once impregnated with the seed, the facehugger drops off and soon dies. The process of impregnation takes several hours.
The super facehugger or the queen face hugger is different from the rest. It usually a little larger than the other facehuggers and has more of a metalic exoskeleton and it limbs are usually very sharp spears. It has spines going down the middle of it back, and can impregnate multiple times. This face hugger will make a queen, and then make her royal elite guards to keep her safe as she starts her journey. This super facehugger is not made by a queen, it is made by a drone/adult. This fact is later discovered in the comic book series and explains how the alien queen comes about in the second movie Aliens. They start to show how the adult reproduces the the super facehugger in the first movie in the cut secenes. When Ripley sees Bretts transformation and some of the other crew members down in the docking bay. The Aliens are able to introduce DNA into the human system that alters their body's chemistry so dramaticaly that it begins to morph into an alien egg. The DNA is passed into the host system from a stinger located at the tip of the alien tail. It takes ruffly 24 to 36 hours for complete transformation. It does not fully explain this in the comics or in the movies. It just introduces the idea and leaves the rest up to speculation.
