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.

Yes, but at least the predalien from the second movie was the product of a MALE alien infecting a MALE predator, so it makes no sense at all, unless all predators were hermaphrodites and the predalien took that trait from the predator father.
How do you know what gender the predator was?

I remember that the predator from the movie was the KING or something like that, but again, maybe that's not important. It's most likely that predators are hermaphrodites.

No I am pretty sure they have Females in the comics but I'm not postive.

Also their hunting ships seem to mostly be male especially the ones that go on hunts. I'm also pretty sure I saw a comic where a female Human was taken into their culture thanks to a othoretive male taking her in as a lesser member of the crew.
I am dyslexic, please ignore the typo's!

No the ones in the films are all males. The Females are much bigger and meaner (at least when mating)
