Learn More About The Xenomorph Alien Drawing
The xenomorph alien, also called Xenomorph XX121 or Internecivus raptus, is a fictional creature from the Alien film franchise. It has been included in numerous movies, comic books, video games, novels, and merchandise.
The aliens have a distinct and vicious life cycle. They begin as an egg, which hatches into a parasitic "face-hugger."
True to its name, the facehugger latches on to the face of a host, which could be any creature from as small as a cat to as large as an elephant.
It impregnates the host with a "chest-burster" larva which, as its name suggests, bursts from the host's chest before growing into an adult within hours.
The xenomorph aliens take on the traits of their host through an exchange of DNA. The bipedal alien in this drawing guide had a human host.
Quadrupeds like dogs and cattle produce four-legged aliens that bite rather than using their arms. When the host is a Predator, another fictional creature, the Predalien results.
