A Facehugger is a fictional creature from the Alien franchise, created by filmmaker Ridley Scott. It is a parasitic organism that attaches itself to the face of a host, typically a human or another living being. The Facehugger's primary function is to implant an embryo into the host's throat, which later develops into a more advanced creature known as a Xenomorph. Facehuggers are characterized by their long, spider-like legs and a distinctive, elongated body. They are known for their rapid movement and ability to ambush unsuspecting victims. Once attached, they can remain on the host for an extended period, ensuring the embryo's successful implantation before detaching and allowing the host to continue its life until the embryo hatches.
