The Xenomorph is a fictional extraterrestrial species from the Alien franchise, created by artist H.R. Giger. Known for its distinctive elongated head, double jaws, and biomechanical appearance, the Xenomorph is a highly adaptable predator. It undergoes a complex life cycle, starting as an egg, which hatches into a larval form called a Facehugger that attaches to a host. Once the Facehugger implants an embryo into a host, it eventually bursts out as a fully formed adult Xenomorph. This creature is characterized by its incredible strength, agility, and stealth, making it a formidable opponent in the Alien series.
