(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone explain the point of those long... things... long bones... on the back of the Xenomorph.

And why it has such a ridiculously long head.

And why it even needs that tiny little almost useless retracto-mouth. (even the Queen's couldnt get Ripley)

Quite simply. Its art. Judging from HRs progressive concept of the monster (in collaboration with Scott) ~ Theyre supposed to be rudimentary wings or perhaps some kind of vent, or phallic symbol. Or just alien *shrugs* The mouth is probably to create fear, and is definitely a phallic symbol. It may have been for impregnation. Think of it like a snake, so perhaps that is how it administers some toxin. Something like that. Theyre a lot like spiders or cockroaches!

Bear in mind this is a creature drawn from an abstract piece of artwork & they didnt offer or I imagine really even conjure a concrete explanation for many of these things in the original. In that way, you could say it can be whatever you want.



Maybe its another baby (Queen) and the current Xeno is just a host for that creature, and the things on its back help form the carapace pod when it dies.



or they may be vestigial arms of the Queen DNA. Queens have more than 2 arms.

another possibility is that it uses it to penetrate armored surfaces in such a way the jaw cannot, like a piston.

Or, more likely is they are vestigial arms of the facehugger DNA

Once in the nest, the original story seems to plant the seeds for a creature we would eventually see in 1997s Alien: Resurrection an albino alien. Instead of the bone-white, alien-human hybrid like we saw in Resurrection, this beast is pure xenomorph and is a carpenter of sorts (yup), with a probe that excretes a resin used to build the Hive that other aliens attempt to evacuate by removing eggs laid by the Queen. Cameron also introduces a caste of alien warrior drones; they are armed with tubules that allow them to bypass the facehugger stage and directly implant chestbursters into reluctant hosts.

Didn't this one shoot water out of the mouth part?

Yes, I had it too

The alien in post number 118 looks like he's in the middle of a stand up comedy routine.

I'm digging the posts that aren't xenomorphs but just show H.R. Giger's influence
