| 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 have an alien comic that says that if the facehuggers does not implants their spores, they just keep growing like a crocodile. There's even a gigant queen facehugger. |

Probably not unless it had a genetic mutation. Though I have seen Toys for a Queen Face Hugger that laid queen eggs. |

But why? The gole of a facehugger is to breed and it needs a face for that. Therefore it has to be about face-sized. |

Dude, it's always face-sized, only the question 'what does the face belong to' needs to be added at the end. Or, simply, if it needs to impregnate bigger targets (maybe that whalien back there) the facehugger simply waits and grows to accomodate the face. ...FFFFFFF- |

Depends on the playing field. Daleks can blow up a house quite easily. |

Ah, but Dalek victims do not bleed. They just get severely electrocuted, judging by the light effects and the fact that it can transmit through water. |
