Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

You know the alien. That face hugging, acid dripping, stomach bursting, cantankerous creature of HR Giger's fantastic imagination. We're talking about Ellen Ripley's nemesis and Ridley Scott's meal ticket.

Terrifying and slightly resembling your boss, she has made an indelible impression on movie-goers for 30 years. Unfortunately that impression has been watered down as this ferocious beast of deep space has never been explaned. For this we want how it works. Is the facehugger, chestbuster, monster a working idea? Could it evolve? What good is it? So here is where to post ANYTHING that has to do with this space monster.

I doubt it would, they just don't have big enough mouths.

And their are no giant millipedes from the past anywhere near the Xenomorphs. Unless someone decides after the recent films, it's in for a penny, in for a pound and makes Alien vs Predator vs Terminator and Skynet uses Xenomorphs to kill everything in the past.

skynet is not that stupid. It would never purposely cease to exist.

Well Skynet could wrap a few factories and servers in meat and then go back too.

And and alien infecting alien make no sense. Would it be distilled alien?

How do you think the skin of an alien can hold that acid blood without melting itself?

I heard that the aliens are(atleast) partially Silicon based which was their exoskeletons but other than that I have no idea.

Any suggestions?

Are you plausible?

Perhaps the acidic nature only manifests itself in the presence of oxygen, or some other volatile.
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!
