ALL Xenomorphs Explained

Over the last 40 years we’ve seen many versions of the xenomorph monster in alien sequels, video games, comic books and the crossover with the predator franchise.
Music: • Atlantis - Audionautix
So in today’s video, I’ll explain every single xenomorph version, including really rare and extreme hybrids from comics that you probably have never hear off.
The Ovomorph is the first alien life form that we encounter in the original alien of 1979. Often referred to it as an alien egg, it’s a separate organism containing a fully grown facehugger.
It also worth to mention the egg sacks from Alien Covenant, which just like ovomorphs intiate the creation of an alien organism.
The Facehugger is a parasitoid organism that hatches from an alien eggs. Facehuggers are extremely fast and agile and their purpose is to neutralize a host.
One particular variation of that creature is the royal face hugger from Alien 3 that has an ability to lay an alien Queen embryo inside a host.
The octo-facehugger is a xenomorph organism that was cut from Prometheus. In the early script this organism was supposed to impregnate Holloway with the Beluga xenomorph which I’ll explain later in the video. \
The Xenomorph or XX121 is the iconic monster that first appeared in Alien of 1979, it’s a highly aggressive and vicious predator with no other goal than the reproduction of their species and the destruction of any life form they encounter. Like bees, Xenomorphs are hive creatures that are separated in castes and can only reproduce with an alien Queen.
In comic books, animal hosts spanned a few exotic Xenomorphs like the Bull-Alien, the Gorilla-Alien, the Rhino Alien, the Mantis Alien and the Crocodile-Alien which is one of the largest xenomorph types.
In alien 3, we can see the Runner, also known as the Dog Alien or the Scout, which is a xenomorph spawnned from a quadrupedal animal. Runners are smaller that original xenomorphs but they are faster and more agile, and can spit acid from their mouths.
The Jockey-Xenomorph is another alien variant spawned from an Engineer. In Alien of 1979 we can see that the pilot’s fosilized suit was reputed from inside. So the creature that came from this space jockey was never seen and this aspect remains unexplained.
The Crusher from the Colonial Marines game is a stage 6 xenomomorph that possesses a large head crest and is able to inflict a massive amount damage.
The Praetorian also known as the Royal Guard is the final stage of the xenomorph cycle.
The Rogue or the King Alien is a human/xenomorph hybrid created to be a domesticated equivalent of an Alien Queen.
The white hybrid is a xenomorph type from the comics created by a malfunctioned AI that combined DNA of humans, Xenomorphs and yautcha.
The Wraith is a Xenomorphs of an unknown origin found in an Engineer ship.
The Predalien is another interesting variation which is a hybrid of yautcha and Xenomorphs which appears in AVP movies, comics and video games.
Hammerpede is a result of an extraterrestrial worm being exposured to the pathogen on LV-223.
The Beluga-Xenomorph, also called “Holloway Alien” is a Xenomorphs that was supposed be spawned from Holloway after being impregnated by an octo-facehugger in the Engineer temple.
The trilobite is an octopus like creature that was a result of Holloway transmitting the pathogen to Elizabeth shaw.
The deacon is a dark blue xenomorph like creature which was the result of the trilobite impregnating the Engineer. We don’t know too much about it, however based on the mural in the lv 223 temple, Engineers used to worship deacons or maybe a non-violent and more sentient version of them that existed a long time ago.
The Ultramorph is a jockey Xenomorph that was supposed to be spawned from the Engineer instead of the deacon. This creature is extremely tall and possesses some of the features of Engineer bio suits.
The neomorph is a xenomorph type creature spawned from a host that was infected by the egg sacks spores. Since plants on the planet 4 were exposed to the pathogen their seeds carry some version of the Xenomorph DNA.
The protomorph was a xenomorph variant created by David through experimentation with the black goo, creatures from the planet 4 and possible Shaw’s bodyparts.
The next type is the Alien Queen which is a mother of all xenomorphs in a Hive.
The Cloned Queen a xenomorph queen obtained through the cloning of Ellen Ripley.
The New Born is a xenomorph that was created by the cloned Queen. Just like Ripley 8 inherited some of the xenomorph DNA, the cloned Queen also picked up some of the human genome during the clonning process.
The Hybrid, The Flying Queen.
The Chrysalis, a predalien hybrid, the Defender, the Egg-shaped Alien, the star faced alien, The electric Alien , the Infectoid ,the Razor Claws, the Smasher, The armoured Xenomorphs , the Walled alien, the long neck alien and The Arachnoid

I remember being told about an Alien Empress. It was explained to me as the one that rules over the mothers. The Queen rules over a hive. A mother rules over a planet. An empress rules over multiple planets.

[@shaunrussell4174]

It’s actually the other way around; you were right about the Queen ruling a hive, but an Empress rules multiple hives seeing as she is a step above a regular queen. She becomes Empress due to the size of the hive constantly growing or if there are multiple queens in one hive; they battle until one kills all her sisters and she becomes Empress. A Queen mother or Mother Queen becomes that way due to years and years of existing and she rules over the entire xenomorph species, and she’s the only one who can birth queens herself.

[@soxpeewee]

@@TyCollage Yeah, his design was messed up because he was basically an incest-yesque hybrid....Ripley (8) had the Alien Queen in her, then the Ripley/Alien Queen which technically was also part of Ripley 8 had the messed up newborn Ripley 8. It was messed up mentally, emotionally and physically.

[@Gfors85]

I love the newborn design except the mouth. just as someone wrote here aliens tend to upgrade from their host but since this tech was humans doings it became a less upgraded, more chaotic, clumsy and bizarr mashup. They should have done the cut part where they fought it in a graveyard on earth instead so we could see more of this thing.

Just a side note: The Deccan was considered a sort of god to the Engineers, and once it died, they tried copying its blood, and ultimately came out with 2 things: 1: a sample of blood that will rapidly destroy the body 2: the trilobite face huger (also, the Deccan was the original alien)

[@DragonKnightX12]

@@CobaltTungsten If you think that is disturbing, Giger's original concept of the Xenomoprh had it going around impregnating other species by rape. They designed the Facehugger as way they could fit the concept in the movie without it getting banned. But even the final design of the Xeno has the sexual undertones and the inner jaw is basically meant as a metaphor for forced penetration.

[@jclark2752]

For a short time when I was growing up, Xenomorphs had a (Better) different evolution. Instead of these predetermined forms, the xenomorph took on different shapes depending on the host animal it was grown within. There were 'dog' xenomorphs, for example, with a morphology taken from their Dog hosts. Similarly, one could imagine rhino xenomorphs, gorilla xenomorphs, even snake xenomorphs! The version seen in the first film was specifically the 'Human' itteration. The queen was fine, though perhaps even she was a result of a progression that could have taken other subtler form variants, but the idea was that the xenomorph was designed to adapt to whatever the dominant lifeform was in any ecosystem and then weaponize their adaptations. Thus it would be equally deadly on an all aquatic planet, for example, or one with other natural challenges. I specifically remember an awesome line of toy figures with this concept. They weren't cheap, but they were awesome! I wish this lore was brought back into play! It is much cooler in my opinion...

They "morph" because they are xenomorphs. By their nature, they evolve every generation, and can gestate in any living thing (possibly even synthetics). That's why they are the perfect organism. Presumably after several generations of bursting through humans, via several successive queens, Xenomorphs would be very human, but bigger, faster, more powerful, cunning, hive-mind, and mature within a couple days. The human race would become a biological "Borg" race.

Some minor corrections to add: Warriors and soldiers are interchangeable while drones are depicted as slightly larger in their chest and arms and perform nest maintenance and development functions. This is made so because the intent was to be analogous to a degree to ants, not bees. This is clarified a few times in the books and almost absolutely stated to be directly similar in Alien Genocide and Alien Harvest. The standard xeno takes a few hours but they also require large amounts of biomass to consume for each of their molts, which is explained in Steel Egg. The skull shape differences between movies are design choices rather than having any significance, which is why Alien ‘79 and the xeno homeworld in the comics are nearly identical. The praetorians serve as guards as well as successors as the books state bluntly that if a queen dies, her surviving praetorians will fight to the death until one remains and the survivor will consume large amounts of royal jelly to force the molt and transformation into the next queen. Separately, the royal eggs are actually massive (about four times the normal size) and shown on panel in some of the comics. The newer movies including prometheus and covenant literally shit on the prior DECADES of canon by rewriting the space jockeys as well as the xenomorph origin. The space jockeys were previously shown on panel transporting eggs as a dangerous trade commodity because the eggs were apparently highly sought after for fancy food when cooked properly. The explanation of the ‘79 jockey crash was actually provided in the comics as a poorly secured egg that jostled free of its seal and opened, impregnating the jockey and forcing the crash Ellen Ripley’s crew came across.

Even creepier to add here... listening to a commentary on an alien or avp [ I forget] I learned that apparently in the first and second alien films sigorny weaver proposed that she did not want to use any guns and she wanted to MAKE lOVE TO THE ALIEN!! The comentors said to this that as she got further in developmentally involved I the series she basically got to do both. She was a producer of some sort on resserection.

The King Xenomorphs origins ARE known.

Dr Bright the design in the first movie actually has a human skull under translucent skin in the head, but the lighting (or lack thereof) kept the details fairly hidden during the movie.

[@mikeydudek2885]

Dr Bright it was taken from Alien 1979, the original xenomorph was supposed to be transparent but that idea was scrapped due to practicality and they slowly had it darken over the length of the film presenting a maturity cycle.

There so many different Alien types. It is like they are part of a franchise that spin off from each other.

[@Tubeite]

There's also a few unique types in the AVP Extinction game. An upgraded Praetorian could be cocooned into a Carrier or Ravager. Carriers could carry live facehuggers on their back spines instead of remaining dormant in eggs. Ravagers were pure war variants that are unique for killing prey outright, instead of rendering it comatose for impregnation. Ravagers were best used against the K-Series of genetically modified xenomorphs.

[@sudheergowan]

Absolutely loved this Kroft! Also of I'm not mistaken, from the Accounts of the Earth War and Dark Horse comics, the Xenomorphs (and the queen) are able to communicate telepathically with other Xenomorphs as well as people and can also understand the way people will act (such as attacking or not). I could be mistaken though, but that's as good as I can remember it.

[@jdawg8458]

I had no idea there were so many different types of aliens. Could you imagine our world being overrun by all of these things everywhere you look? 😱

[@Soul93Taker]

A couple you could add if you decide to do a remake of this list come from an AvP game so they can be considered non-canon: the Carrier Xenomorph (which has small "arms" on its back to carry Facehuggers into battle) and the Ravager (which has huge blades instead of forearms and is meant strictly for combat, since it always kills its foe instead of incapacitating for impregnation).

I would love to see The Thing vs Alien 🤔 LOL

[@dylan9124]

Unfortunately it wouldn't be much of a fight. Any physical damage sustained by the thing would still result in the two organisms coming into contact, which is all The Thing needs to begin assimilating a host organism. The "original thing" could then escape in whatever dimished form it was left in (assuming it didn't put up a fight, which I doubt... both lifeforms are inherently fierce). What is interesting, though, is the fact that we'd likely end up with a Xenomorph/Thing hybrid... the ultimate big bad?

[@slayton21]

It'd be a short, very one-sided fight. The Thing would quickly enter the Aliens at a molecular level, and spread across the whole species until it reached the Queen, giving birth to an even stronger Alien life form. It'd make them even tougher and dangerous.

[@TheCharlesJackson]

The acid blood would play a big part in nullifying The Thing, unless The Thing adapts.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

@@TheCharlesJackson the Thing will adapt, probalby would assimilate everything but the blood while keep functioning with the original host blood... is the thing man, common

@@antoniocenteno1483 I said the same thing a while back until someone pointed out the defensive capability and measure of the acid blood. We havent seen The Thing (in canon at least and I'm speaking the films) adapt as such to such a measure. The Xenomorph's blood is the game changer as The Thing assimilates an entire organism on a cellular level...but if the Thing does find a way...we're screwed.
