Xenophobe
MemberOvomorph02/13/2012Sorry again if this has been posted previously. . . I've been trying to work out or indeed find out what a potential Xenomorph-type creature would look like in Prometheus if it's "birthed" from a SJ. We've seen them after they burst from humans, but what about SJ's?? What traits via DNA transferring would they have??

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012No way we'll know before June, but if some version of one does actually come from the SJ anytime before the end of the film- It will probably be a helluva lot bigger than the original, and a whole lot freakier looking too, if that's even possible.
I would imagine, since they inherit certain genetic traits from the host, it will be even smarter as well. So long as it doesn't speak... The zenos in Cameron's Aliens didn't seem as smart, but the original was a stealthy and cunning creature. Seemed like it enjoyed terrifying it's victims! OK, maybe it just enjoyed terrifying me...
I really hope there is a creature in this film that is as original and shockingly frightening and Giger's alien was. Not even sure it's possible, but I can dream, right?

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012Yeah I'd definitly say it'll be bigger, going by the size of that humanoid/SJ we've been lead to believe is in the movie. Yeah it'll be more intelligent for sure, but yeah I doubt it'll speak. . . Lol. I'm hoping that aswell!

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012will it still have a Little Mouth ? can't see it fitting with the SJ breathing tube

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012Lol @ Centaurian_slug! I'd have thought a SJ based xenomorph would only take on certain characteristics from it, size perhaps aswell as a higher level of intelligence. . . But you maybe right!

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012....been trying to imagine this new creature...being an artist an 3d modeler....if it was up to me,....I would make it white and luminescent and also exaggerate certain features like the jaw and the head....the SJ trunk would definitely be omitted.....it just gets in the way.....mmmhhh....that guy who did do the creature designs for Prometheus said he has never worked harder....ultimately I want the new zeno ( presuming their will be one ) to look rather horrific but sleek and stealthy at the same time.....how will they beat the original design?....is it even possible?

MemberOvomorph02/13/2012...the one thing u wanne avoid is making it look like the baby in Alien Resurrection......it almost worked IMO.....but their was something missing....something major....I think in the end it looked to human....it should'nt have had eyes and I think it's skin colour was all wrong....

MemberOvomorph02/15/2012@Juxtapose - Yeah good point, it will be hard to beat the design of the original Xeno for sure! Yeah I agree about the Alien in Resurrection, it could've been a good idea if they pulled it off a tad better. . . I think a SJ based Xeno will definitly be stronger/larger then the "original" ones. Seeing as the dead SJ in the Derelict had one inside him, we can assume that was either a SJ based Xeno Queen or it happens during this movie. . .

Artist and 3D modeler, you say? I've been using Metasequoia for over a month now; I'm new to 3D modeling. You ought to try to make a 3D model of the gigantic head from the Ampule Room. :D
