Alien (Neomorph)

Intro Like the Xenomorphs, the Neomorphs have a complex multi-staged endoparasitoidic life cycle, although theirs is different in that the eggs are small, fungal-like egg sacks; the "facehugger" stage is replaced by microscopic airborne spore-like creatures known as motes; and the "chestburster" stage is replaced by a similar creature known as a bloodburster. The adult Neomorph also differs from the typical adult Xenomorph in a number of ways, especially by their smooth pale white skin, in contrast with the Xenomorph's dark chitinous exoskeleton. Both species are terrifying predators with enormous physical resilience, and employ both stealth tactics and brute force to take down their prey. However, Neomorph blood doesn't seem to be acidic, and they don't seem to form hives like the Xenomorphs. (Alien Series 5 of 6)
