The Official Alien Topic!

This is the place to discuss the renowned Alien series. You can discuss anything about it you like, including characters, Alien vs. Predator, and the Alien itself. Here's the wikipedia page on the Alien creature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenomorph_%28Alien%29
I'll kick off by saying this interesting Alien fact: The Alien, when it is inside the chest of a host, absorbs certain genetic characteristics from the host. For example, it often copies whether the host is bipedal(two-legged) or quadrupedal(four legged), and other aspects of the bone structure. In one instance, when the embryo was implanted in a dog, the Chestburster emerged almost fully developed, like a dog is born almost fully developed. It was also quadrupedal, like a dog, and, when fully grown, could run much faster than a normal drone. This mimicry probably aids in the adaptation to a new environment.
Enjoy!

I think the predators are cool. If they don't survive, they make sure nothing survives.

Yes, I agree that the Predators are cool. But the Aliens are far cooler.

I don't know. The Aliens don't have stealth camoflauge.

Yeah, but the Aliens are killers before they are even fully grown!

That is true. They burst out of people's chests. I was too young to see it at the movie theater when it came out, but I have the Alien Quadrillity box set on DVD. 'Alien 1''s the best film.

He means Alien Quadriliogy.
And I disagree. I think that Aliens (note the s) ,the second one, is best.
By the way, do you think that if a Alien was implanted in Rayman or another limbless being, it would come out limbless, like Rayman? I think it would, and this is going to be a major theme in my fanfic Alien vs. Rayman.

Oh, Jesus, I'm really sorry! Yes, i meant the Quadriliogy. I was drunk when I wrote that - had the day out with my friends. I seem to think clearly when I'm drunk, but I get very jumbled up! Though I do say and do stupid things when I'm drunk too.
But I do think that Alien 1 is the best, but each to their own, I guess.
Lachimax, I think that if an Alien was to burst out of Rayman's chest, it would be normal. But this is an interpretation of concept, so there is no correct answer.

Well, in Alien 3, the Alien that comes out of a dog runs on four legs instead of two, like a dog, as opposed to the normal Alien which walks on two legs like a human. Also, in Alien vs. Predator, the Alien that comes out of a Predator at the end has the mandibles on the front of its mouth that a Predator has.
