In the absence of a queen a drone can evolve into a full queen. The queen then emits a suppressive pheromone halting the evolution of the other drones. They in turn assume the role of partially evolved praetorians.

[@michaelparker4457]

This level of technical detail/presentation reminds me of a Tom Clancy Novel. This is truly SciFi Horror Entertainment for adults. I saw the original movie while in high school and have been fascinated every since. Your contribution to the genre has been significant! Bravo. Keep it coming! It’s very much relished

[@PhanTimo01]

I love this. Especially the green hue for the footage. It makes the creature mysterious and ominous. Its what I loved about my ALIEN DVD collection. The green menu's.

[@sqly3129]

Its also for using film scenes without getting strike from KZbin i think

[@RequiumFrost]

An absolutely incredible documentary on the xenomorph life cycle. The content is succinct, intelligent and engaging. I commend you on the quality of this video and the amount of effort and research that has been sighted from the films.

[@56chrsbri]

The books have more information on these Nasty fictional creatures. Thankfully just that fictional. 1st of all they have stingers on the tip of the tail to subdue. Its described fully in book. 2nd their favorite food human brains... then soft organs perhaps also bone but don't remember about the bone.... beastly !

[@yoyoyo8011]

One of the best videos on KZbin I've ever seen.

[@MAGGS1982]

Not even gonna lie, this is the absolute best Xenomorph video I have ever seen and I know my shit about xenomorphs!!!! Great work man!!!!

[@bullshtman447]

I'm not gonna lie either. This was most informative!

[@a_cats]

its slightly incorrect as it merges the lifecycle of the Alien/Isolation xeno with the regular hiver xeno but that's not too big of a deal so you're still fairly qualified basically: alien/isolation xeno has eggmorphing and no queen others have queen but no eggmorphing

[@56chrsbri]

Did you notice he forgot about the stinger on the tip of the tails. He speaks well but if he read books he'd be 100 %. Next on whether they eat ? Yes according to books they're 1st choice is the brain. Didn't you notice in the movies they go for skull ?

[@a_cats]

@I lost my faith in humanity and i hate you 2.5 Since I posted that comment my thoughts on this have changed. They're just 2 different interpretations of the same thing (the Alien/Alien Isolation ones are portrayed as being much harder to kill to fit with the horror themes, whereas the others are easier to kill to make them work better in action films) and they said there was a queen to make it fit better with the established canon. They definitely did eggmorph as well though, since they built a second nest after you break the original one

[@a_cats]

@I lost my faith in humanity and i hate you 2.5 I didn't know there were different types of xenomorph, I assumed there were only eggs, facehuggers, standard xenomorphs and queens (though of course standard xenomorphs and queens can vary based on what their host was) Where has it been stated in the Alien canon that there is a difference between warriors and drones?

[@Kroggnagch]

When I was younger I never understood why Gorman wanted Sarge to take the mags from his grunts but I now understand the place could've gone up in flames with one wrong stray. It also helps drive home the despair when the survivors gather after the first skirmish and realize how screwed they are.

exactly, plot hole.. because in aliens, the novel, the frustrated facehugger can't get thru to newt's cryo chamber on the sulaco and ends up chipping a piece of glass off the side, which impales itself, killing it and thus causing the fire and why the sulaco crashes, setting the stage for Alien 3.

[@DeepHouse79]

Hi Derek! Love listening to you speak. Your work is phenomenal, sir!

[@a_cats]

I think it makes more sense that the Xenomorph in Alien is a different but closely related species to the hiver species. All the hivers ever encountered came from that one facehugger that infected the colonist while all xenomorphs from other eggs have been like the original alien. This would explain why the original alien was so much more dangerous and intelligent compared to the other aliens which favoured quantity over quality of it's individuals. This would also allow for eggmorphing to still be canon

What annoyed me about the Ripley, Newt reunion in the earth wars is that Ripley would have been so much more happy to see Newt again. She loved Newt, she charged the alien hive and faced off with the queen to rescue her, with the installation about to go nuclear. They treat like they sat next to each other on a train home from work one day.

I hope they make a movie explaining more about the telepatic capabilities of the aliens, 'cause make no mistake, they have them.

How would she know that without telepathy?

Xenomorphs are terrifying, extremely viscious and highly dangerous creatures...and yet they are somewhat elegant - almost even "beautiful", albeit in a VERY morbid and creepy way. I don't know how to put it. Anyhow, they're probably the best-designed monsters in cinematic history. Using Swiss artist Giger's eerie artwork & designs as an inspiration and his guidance along the way was absolutely perfect, it was the right decision. No wonder why they are so popular. Utter genious, timeless.

The thing I’ve always wondered is where do xenomorphs get all that fluid from? They almost seem like an aquatic species because they are always so dripping wet.

To whom this may concern at the Weyland-Yutani Employee Services. My name is Thomas Draper, and I am a flight science officer. Having learned the fate "Nostromo" from employee information, I have a question and a request. I am a bio-mechanical engineer, currently assigned as science officer (Flight reg.: ID 514/S3-99N). to the commercial science vessel USCSS "SHAW". At company HQ in Mars City I have received company training in crew management and team psychology. I am curious about the specific crew members of the "Nostromo". What was the background of each crew member? I believe that this info would be useful when making future emergency protocols for flight crews, and in setting up crew profiles. My request (actually more of a suggestion) is development of a specific defense strategy if a deep space vessel like the "Shaw" should encounter a similar attack from unknown species. As science officer, I believe that IF the "Nostromo" crew had been trained and they had a defensive strategy, they might have defeated or even contained the XX121. Thus saving themselves, precious cargo and not missed the chance to bring back the alien life form for scientific study. Regards, T. Draper, science officer of USCSS "SHAW".

Amazing video, you do a lot of good video editing and narration. Great research based on what the movies provide, though I suspect you are basing these findings on more than just the movies. Also maybe it is just me, but it seems like the xenomorphs acid blood works more effectively on non-organic material, for example, it melts through two whole floors of the Nestromo, but a person can survive getting splashed as far as I am aware.

Man, you are awesome for collecting and assembling the information and presenting it in-character. I will be sad when you stop making them... or might you continue in other universes? Predator is a natural side venture. Also, I was flipping through the console RTS Aliens vs Predator: Extinction. There's a Bestiary "manual" available for perusal on a Wikia for the game. Surprisingly there's a mechanic involving "spores" that the Alien faction can use to adversely affect enemies. Grain of salt for canon, but reminiscent of black goo considering the spores infect and damage enemies by blackening and changing their bodily fluids, altering their genetic material and creating better candidates for impregnation. There's also an equivalent of a tumor called a hive node that spread creep- I mean the hive resin by producing the same spores that dig into the environment, suck nutrients out, then propagate and provide sustenance to xenomorphs.
