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.

So...

the alien absorbs DNAQ from its prey, right?
What if it was in a slug?
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Then the Xenomorph/Slug cross would look very, very, disgusting.

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.
No the scariest creature ever would be a creationist-xenomorph. It trys to convert people as well as killing them.

Yeah, but it would also be nice. A dalek-xeno would be very intelligent, very devious and be full of hate. Oh yes, and have more tentacles.

How would the facehugger stay on? If the dragon breathed fire it would get fried.

Well, Japanese dragons breath water vapor. So those dragons would work.
