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.

A Dalek vs and Xenomorph would not be a battle it would be pest control. The Daleks heat shield thingy would vaporize any (unlikely) splatter before it hit.

Three words Xenomorph. Time. Lord.

That would be the scariest creature ever. Brain power, regeneration, and better physical endurance. That should be how they kill David Tennant off.

Technically, Daleks are cyborgs. Open em up, and there's a squid inside!

Oh gods...imagine a Dalek-Xenomorph...

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.
I ment that if you shoot an alien it will spray acid blood all over and melt you into a puddle.
I am not suffering from insanaty. I truely enjoy being mad.

But Dalek weapons don't generally cause damage to the skin. They zap the foeman and they are left mostly intact.

Alien saliva is Acidic also meaning they could start spitting acid at you.

Odd that they don't use something like that. I always assumed they had to be wounded to kill with acid.

What will Xenomorph do?
Fight Bag
Pokemon Run

What move will Xenomorph use?
Acid Iron Tail
Iron Defense ExtremeSpeed

Xenomorph used Acid!
It's super effective!
Wild Predator fainted.
Xenomorph gained 260 E.X.P.
Xenomorph went up to level 12!
Xenomorph wants to learn Sludge Bomb!
But Xenomorph can only know 4 moves at a time.
Give up on Sludge Bomb Forget a move

What move will Xenomorph forget?
Acid Iron Tail
Iron Defense ExtremeSpeed

Forget Acid?
Yes No

1, 2, and 3... poof!
Xenomorph forgot Acid.
Xenomorph learned Sludge Bomb.

Xenomorph killed FakePokemon64 for making this supid joke as a reference to ATEK Azul's saying that the acid saliva isn't being brought up enough. Xenomorph befriended ATEK Azul.

I'm helping bring to light the possibilities for the acid saliva, like killing me.
